Def Leppard will play the NFL pre game show at Wembley Stadium in under two hours before the Oakland Raiders vs Miami Dolphins game.
The Oakland Raiders will play the Miami Dolphins at Wembley Stadium today with the band scheduled to play at (5:38pm according to Joe/5:45pm according to Phil's wife). Kick off is at 6pm.
Def Leppard will play their first show without Vivian Campbell since he joined in 1992 using stand in Steve Brown from the band Trixter.
The appearance was announced on 26th August by the band in a video message on NFLUK.com.
Check back later for photos, videos and updates from this event added to the show page. And of course be sure to watch in the UK on Channel 4, Sky Sports 2 and in the USA on CBS.
Shown below are two photos from earlier today from a pre show rehearsal/sound check. Joe has also been interviewed by Sky News.

"It's ironic actually that the performance on Sunday, which by the way it's not half time it's pre game. It's the first gig in 22 years that we'll have done without Viv. And the first gig we did with him was at Wembley for the Freddie Mercury Tribute show. Save for a little rehearsal show in Dublin."
