Hellfest 2013 : Def Leppard Coming Back To France After 17 Years !!!
The HellFest is proud and honoured to announce that DEF LEPPARD will make their grand return to France on Friday June 21st, 2013 as headliner for the first day of the festival.
This event will be DEF LEPPARD’s first concert in France for almost seventeen years (The band’s previous live appearance in this country dated from October 20th 1996 in Paris)!!!
With more than 100 million albums sold worldwide and two prestigious Diamond Awards (Def Leppard are one of only five rock bands to have two consecutive 10 million plus selling albums in the U.S. The others are The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Van Halen.) to their credit, Def Leppard - Joe Elliott (vocals), Phil Collen (guitar), Rick "Sav" Savage (bass), Vivian Campbell (guitar) and Rick Allen (drums)— continue to be one of the most important forces in rock music. Over the course of their career, the band has produced a series of classic groundbreaking albums that set the bar for generations of music fans and artists alike. The group’s spectacular live shows, filled with powerful melodic rock anthems, continue to sell out venues worldwide.
The announcement will come as a welcome surprise to French fans, as the band was not scheduled to tour Europe in 2013. On top of this breaking news, this one off concert will also give the French crowd the opportunity to enjoy the fantastic “Hysteria & More” show that DEF LEPPARD will perform this spring at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
At Hellfest, DEF LEPPARD will share the main stage with Whitesnake, Europe, Twisted Sister, Saxon and Helloween.
As with previous editions, the HellFest will take place in the beautiful medieval city of Clisson (West of France, 35 km from Nantes and 400km from Paris).
Last year, with an attendance of over 100 000 people, the HellFest became the third most important musical event in France. This year, 120 000 people are expected!
Kiss, ZZ Top, Korn, Accept, Volbeat, Bullet for My Valentine and Danzig are the others names on the top of the list of the 160 bands which are booked on the 6 stages of the HellFest on June 21st, 22nd and 23rd. www.hellfest.fr | www.defleppard.com
