Def Leppard’s concert film, Viva! Hysteria Concert will be shown in almost 250 theaters across the U.S. on Wednesday, October 2 and Tuesday, October 8.
The film was taken from shows in March and April during a residency at The Joint in the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, and includes a complete performance of the band’s 1987 album Hysteria along with other music from throughout their career.
Lead vocalist Joe Elliott said “We’ve been asked for many years if we’d ever play an album in its entirety, and the answer was always no because we’d be out promoting a new album. Then in March and April 2013 when we had no new music to promote, we had a chance to revisit arguably our most important album. It was an easy decision to make. As for Vegas, it’s no longer perceived as the place crooners go to die! Artists like Mötley Crüe, Elton John, Guns N’ Roses & Cheap Trick have recently done residencies and rock ‘n’ roll has definitely moved in! So, there was no better place for us to take the show. It was a fantastic experience for us and for our fans.”
Tickets for the film are available from the individual theater box offices and at www.FathomEvents.com where you will also find a full list of participating theaters.
