Def Leppard debuts new track “Dangerous,” the second off their long-awaited new studio album that will be released on Oct. 30, via billboard.com today. “Dangerous” follows their current No. 1 classic rock single “Let’s Go,” which is climbing the rock and active rock radio charts. The new album was recorded earlier this year at frontman Joe Elliott’s studio in Dublin, Ireland and will feature 14 tracks in total. This self-titled album release will mark their first new collection of material in seven years and Def Leppard’s 11th official studio release.

Def Leppard’s influential career includes numerous hit singles and groundbreaking multi-platinum albums, including two of the best-selling albums of all time, “Pyromania” and “Hysteria,” capturing the group’s legendary tracks and bringing together classic Leppard hits such as “Rock of Ages,” “Pour Some Sugar on Me” and “Foolin’.” The upcoming tour follows on the heels of the band’s unforgettable 2014 co-headlining tour with KISS last summer.

Def Leppard – Joe Elliott (vocals), Vivian Campbell (guitar), Phil Collen (guitar), Rick “Sav” Savage (bass), and Rick Allen (drums) – continues to be one of the most important forces in rock music. With 100 million records sold worldwide and two prestigious Diamond Awards to their credit, the group’s spectacular live shows, filled with powerful melodic rock anthems, continue to sell out venues worldwide. For the past 30 years, the band’s epic live shows and arsenal of hits have become synonymous with their name, leading Def Leppard to be heralded as an institution in both the music and touring industry.
