Def Leppard Down Under

Def Leppard has planned a quick trip to Australia, scheduled in between previously announced U.S. dates featuring special guests Styx and Tesla and its December tour with Whitesnake.

The English rock band last played Australia in 2011 with Heart. This time around, Joe Elliott, Phil Collen, Vivian Campbell, Rick “Sav” Savage and Rick Allen are headed Down Under for three headline performances in October.

The outing begins with a Nov. 17 show at Darling Harbour’s Qantas Credit Union Arena, followed by a Nov. 18 gig at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena. The short but sweet trip concludes Nov. 21 at Perth’s Red Hill Auditorium.

Tickets and VIP packages are on sale now for Perth. As for Sydney and Melbourne, a Rock Brigade Concert Club presale begins June 1. Visa and Ticketek are also hosting presales. General public onsales are scheduled June 11 at 10 a.m. local time.
