Def Leppard has set 2010 aside for some much needed rest and relaxation after non-stop touring for nearly a decade, but fans will be glad to hear that the wheels for 2011 activity are already turning. In a recent interview with Billboard.com, Joe Elliot revealed that the band is at work on their first true live album – ever.
“There’ll be stuff from this century on it — “Rock On“, “Nine Lives“, “C’mon C’mon“,” Elliott notes. “Vivian [Campbell] has been in the band 17 years, so I think he deserves a shot at being on a live record.”
New material may be in the mix as well. “We’ve got tentative plans to do a four- or five-track EP of new songs as part of it,” Elliott adds.
A tour of stadiums and arenas is likely in the works for next year as well. Who do you think Def Leppard will tour with?

I think they’d love to go out with Poison again, since that tour did so well for them. And Bret Michaels has sure raised his profile, yet perhaps too much and he might be the headliner now, instead of the opener.
I agree with TC. Def Leppard should do a reunion tour with Posion and Motley Crue…hopefully then can come to Canada but more specifically Montreal!
As of April 14, No other announcement apart from Toronto. Is there still a chance they might do montreal? There are a few spots to fill in for august let hope for the best.
