Saturday, July 18 marked exactly 48 years since Def Leppard's first-ever public performance. The show was held at the Westfield School in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, and they were paid only five pounds (apparently by a teacher), Ultimate Classic Rock reports.
"Steve plugged in and walked to the front of the stage, looking brilliant in his tight jeans and long blond hair," Elliott, 66, states in the Fricke's book, per UCR. "All ready to go into the first song, 'World Beyond the Sky,' he did his windmill arm motion, just like Pete Townshend, for the big opening chord and nothing happened. No power. Everybody in the audience was laughing. After a few seconds, we started all over again."
Def Leppard took to social media last month to announce upcoming tour dates, and fans seem thrilled that their favorite glam metal outfit continues to rock on all these decades later.
"Def Leppard Live 2026 Fall Tour dates in Mexico and South America with special guest @extreme_band are on sale now!" reads the caption of their Instagram post on June 5. See below.
