Def Leppard will play the 3 arena on December 01st 2018 as part of their Hysteria Tour with support from Cheap Trick.

PTH2009 · 19-01-2018 11:26am

seen Def Leppard twice and always enjoyed them but meh about this one

they always bring quality support line ups over with them but I've never heard of cheap trick

I'll decide closer to the day but it's still a long way away

Cheap Trick are legends, that's a really nice pairing, will have to go I think.

blastman · 19-01-2018 12:28pm

Saw Cheap Trick when they played the Olympia a few years ago, great band, and their latest album is really good, too.

Was a bit meh after seeing Leppard a few times, but Hysteria and the Trick might just persuade me to go.

Surprised you never heard of Cheap Trick, great band on the go a long time. If you get a chance listen to these albums Heaven Tonight, Cheap Trick, Dream Police and Live at Budokan. There are plenty more great albums.

delbertgrady · 19-01-2018 7:31pm

Cheap Trick's "In Color" is also well worth investigation.
This is actually a great double bill.

PTH2009 · 19-01-2018 7:35pm

the shows were announced early enough though. almost 10 months away

Seems to be the way it's going now, how many dates in UK/Ireland, 11, how much interest will be generated on the ticket sales in the next 10 months.

Harry Palmr · 19-01-2018 7:42pm

Cheap Trick are awesome American power pop-metal.

Finger drum the first two minutes of this on a desk top and see how many you break!

I remember going to see Def Leppard out of curiosity in McGonagles in front of maybe three or four hundred people. I think they had a number one album in the US and UK at the time and were playing a warm up gig in a small venue off South Anne Street. It was a pretty impressive show and the sound absolutely fantastic for that place. They played the Freddie Mercury tribute concert at Wembley Stadium a few days later.

ned rierson · 21-01-2018 1:18pm

the cheap trick gig in vicar st way back when was top class. wont be missing this

Was at that one myself. Great gig. Also saw Ozzy in there. Another warm up gig.

Don't think Ozzy's was a warm up gig, he did a tour of UK/Irl playing tiny venues

As for warm up gigs i miss them, seen Metallica in August '87 in the 100 Club in London, tiny venue, never been so hot at a gig in all me life, pit was INSANE!!

Compared to some prices of greet the meat that 586euro is relatively cheap, not that i'd do it for a second, in my day we'd just hang around the hotel/backstage

oh i know, still a rip off, but compared to others (Metallica, 2,500) then it's cheap

truth is none of these bands want too meet you and money is the only factor for them too do so

they could not give a bollocks how many of there gigs you saw, how u collected this rare piece of memorabilia, how they insipred you etc

the way to do it is run free meet and greet comps but too much money to be lost

anewme · 26-01-2018 10:38pm

Got tickets looking forward to it

You gotta hand it to them

Ok, I am a big DL fan, and believe this gig to be a memorable one, playing Hysteria in its entirety! wow.. cannot miss this!!! Saw Leppard 8 times, and have to say they sound better musically each time. Of course, age comes to play here; Elliott cannot hit the high notes but still can entertain and deliver a great show.

And really looking forward to seeing Cheap Trick, I have never seen them play live before.

PTH2009 · 18-10-2018 9:35am

So they have brought out an Xmas song

https://open.spotify.com/track/0cGgN5pGXfECL8OLZEeIf2?si=hEpn9orJTVOayB65uuci8Q

Still on the fench about the Dec gig. Saw them twice already but it's always a good night and I've started listening to Cheap trick and really enjoying them. We will see

artvanderlay · 25-10-2018 7:49pm

I'd go to this but I'm not a fan of acts playing full albums. I prefer the spontaneity of not knowing what the next tracks are going to be. I went to Roger Waters Dark Side of the Moon live a few years back, and the most boring part for me was when he played the full album. When he played random tracks from the Pink Floyd catalogue, it was brilliant. Live should be unpredictable. Also, for me the Hysteria album ends after Hysteria the song; Love and Affection, and Excitable I can do without hearing live!

saw DL 2 times already 2011 and 2015 both had awsome support bills and i never heard of cheap trick but after a few listens to them im familar with some of there songs and id say they will be great live

Love the Hysteria album and look forward to hearing it if i do go to the concert. They have actually released a live dvd already of doing them the album in full 2013 'viva hysteria'. They will do a few other songs no doubt and it should be a good show. I just hope they dont start as flat as 2015 when they opended with a new song and it bombed

PTH2009 · 26-10-2018 5:50pm

Gave in and brought a ticket for the show. Got block L row 53

3rd time seeing def leppard and prob be the exact same show and sequences but a rocking sat night in December what more can u want Cheap Trick should be good also

PTH2009 · 24-11-2018 9:36pm

Third time seeing Def Leppard and looking forward to hearing Hysteria in full. Is the gig in the round ???

Cheap Trick will hopefully be good too

Cheesy night in store but love it

Check out toutless, they have a swaps section

PTH2009 · 27-11-2018 11:50pm

Looking forward to Saturday night but feel they should of had a 2nd support like previous Dublin shows (had Thin Lizzy(2011) and Black Star Riders(2015) opening the night before the main support Alice Cooper (2011) and Whitesnake (2015, wasant at the 2009 show they had 4 band's on the bill). We just have Cheap Trick and DL this year

Ironically The new best of (Def Leppard- The Story so far) is coming out on Friday

roadmaster · 28-11-2018 1:46pm

i would have loved to go only for work commitments . It would have being great if they where supporting bon jovi rather than the boring preachers

PTH2009 · 29-11-2018 1:00pm

:: DEF LEPPARD STAGE TIMES ::

・Doors: 6.30pm
・Cheap Trick : 7.45 - 8.30pm
・Def Leppard: 9 - 10.55pm

mean gene · 29-11-2018 6:26pm

Looking at the set lists i hope they play the longer set list rather than the shorter one on the journey tour

Also hoping make love like a man is left out or ill just have to go for a p1ss during that one

it will the same setlist almost word for word as they done for the recent Asian/Oceanic Hysteria tour. Bacisally Hysteria in full and an encore of hits . We might get the new xmas song or the Personal Jesus cover instead of one of the songs

Cheap trick have a short enough set time and they really should of thrown on another band. Doors at 6.30 and Cheap Trick not on til 7.45 ???

should be a good night. ill drink too a minimum as i have to get bus back home at 23.45

:D

Rigsy · 01-12-2018 2:23pm

Hi Starwave. I might be able to help with the ticket swap. PM sent

PTH2009 · 01-12-2018 6:41pm

****ing hell Dublin on a sat ðŸ˜«ðŸ˜«. Ques, screaming, teenagers etc.

Anyway having a nice pint in the Spencer hotel bar and can't wait for tonight

PTH2009 · 02-12-2018 12:54am

What a night

Cheap Trick unfamiliar too me when announced were amazing and reality got the crowd goin. The amount of hits they had was amazing

I've seen def Leppard 2 times before tonight and I have to say tonight was the best I've ever seen them. What a setlist, great stage and the band were on fire

Was on the fence about this gig but bought a ticket a month ago and glad i did

Was up the last row of the block L row 55, really great view. A few lads apparently got into the lighting section on the same row as me and security seemingly ran up fairly quickly

3 hour bus journey home but let's get rocked what a night

keeponrockin · 02-12-2018 3:30am

That was sooo much fun..glad i grabbed a couple of tickets now..brilliant sound in the middle of GA..excellent production..the countdown clock focused the minds seeing as we arrived in with 5 minutes and 25 seconds to go..what time did that countdown clock start at?!..sign of a good gig..merch stall was heaving at the end..when i got to the front Hysteria tour shirt was sold out..huh leps are the new Pearl Jam..respect to the 2 girls beside us who knew every word of every song and were no more than 18..everyone was giving it saturday nightðŸ€˜

Think it started at 45 mins or something around that

Got a medium hysteria shirt myself. Nice shirt but bit loose lost a bit of weight and I'm in between medium/small which is annoying lol but I'll find somehow to wear it

Brilliant gig!

staging, lighting, vocals, production, sound, energy, our seats were vibrating.

Loved the reeling in the years video montages in the background.

Hysteria has to be of the hughest quality Albums; I had watched a documentary about Def Leppard where they said they had so much good material for it that they should have put some in a follow up Album. Instead the Album had so many lead singles, they just jept coming.
