Def Leppard are marking 2026 with a freshly mastered ‘Greatest Hits’ vinyl release, available June 12 in two formats: standard black vinyl and a special edition blood red marbled vinyl featuring exclusive 2026 tour artwork, the latter available exclusively on the road. Pre-orders are live now at defleppard.com.
The 10-track collection pulls from the core of one of rock’s most bulletproof catalogs, covering “Pour Some Sugar on Me,” “Hysteria,” “Photograph,” “Love Bites,” “Rock of Ages,” “When Love and Hate Collide,” “Bringin’ On the Heartbreak,” “Foolin’,” “Animal,” and “Armageddon It.” For a band that has sold more than 110 million albums worldwide and holds two Diamond Awards in the U.S., this is exactly the kind of distillation their catalog deserves on vinyl.
The release arrives on the heels of an already packed year. Def Leppard completed a sold-out Las Vegas residency, toured India, and released a brand new single “Rejoice,” available now with a lyric video. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees, who also recently received their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, show no signs of easing up.
The UK and European tour runs through June and July 2026, with Extreme joining as special guests on most dates. Highlights include a headline show at The O2 in London and the band’s first Paris show in nearly 30 years, a milestone for European fans who’ve waited a long time for that one.
