Def Leppard started their UK Hysteria tour in Bournemouth, England 35 years ago on 10th April 1988.

The show took place at the Bournemouth International Centre.

They were supported by Loverboy after Poison had pulled out of the tour only a few weeks before.

A 16 song setlist was played which included 'Tear It Down'. The only known time this song was played on this second UK leg.

This was the second time the band had played in Bournemouth.

The first show dated all the way back to February 1980 on the UK warm-up tour prior to the release on 'On Through The Night'.

The Town Hall venue was played on 26th February 1980 with Witchfynde in support.

Read an archive UK media review which contrasts the performance with those on the first UK Hysteria tour of August/September 1987.
