Def Leppard screened their VIVA! Hysteria concert film in UK cinemas on this in 2013.

The tracklisting and release date for the concert album and video was confirmed on 7th August 2013 along with details of the theatrical event.

The 11 date VIVA! Hysteria residency took place from 22nd March to 13th April at The Joint in Las Vegas, NV.

On 19th September 2013 the movie was screened in the UK at Vue, Cineworld, Showcase and Odeon cinemas.

It was later shown around the world including North America on 2nd and 8th October.

The version shown in theatres was the main Hysteria album show plus the encores of 'Rock Of Ages' and 'Photograph'. The two Ded Flatbird opening sets were exclusive to the DVD/Blu-ray.

This was the first time the band had a theatrical release for a concert film.
