Genesis Publications has announced an official new book celebrating 50 years of DEF LEPPARD, taking fans through the band's extraordinary live history. Tentatively titled "Def Leppard Live", the book will tell the story of the band's rise from their earliest performances in Sheffield to the world's biggest stages. Spanning five decades of live music, the book will explore the concerts, tours and defining moments that have established DEF LEPPARD as one of the world's most celebrated live rock bands.
Following the success of "Definitely: The Official Story Of Def Leppard", which sold out ahead of publication and became the fastest-selling book in Genesis Publications' history, DEF LEPPARD is preparing its second book with Genesis. Created in close collaboration with DEF LEPPARD, this new volume will draw on the group's extensive archives, bringing together rare and previously unseen concert photography, backstage images, tour itineraries, set lists, stage designs, memorabilia, instruments and stage clothing. Organized around the band's tours, "Def Leppard Live" will offer a unique insight into life on the road and the people, places and performances that have shaped their extraordinary career.
Produced as a highly collectible, signed limited edition, "Def Leppard Live" will be a fitting celebration of DEF LEPPARD's 50th anniversary — and an opportunity for fans to share in this milestone with the band. It will be available for pre-order in December 2026. Sign up for updates via the Genesis Publications web site.
