Def Leppard's First India Tour Packs Mumbai Show

Guitarist Phil Collen says about 11 new songs are nearly finished for release next year.

Overview

  • The band played Mumbai's Jio World Garden to a large, fired-up crowd, with Indian rockers Indus Creed opening and BookMyShow Live producing the concert.
  • The three-city run began in Shillong and is set to wrap in Bengaluru, marking the group’s first formal tour of India.
  • Frontman Joe Elliott thanked fans for the long wait and led a set that blended classic anthems with later hits.
  • The show featured a rare solo version of Two Steps Behind and closed with Pour Some Sugar on Me, prompting full-venue singalongs.
  • Collen said the group sings live and drills long vocal warm-ups, a performance focus the band ties to its near five-decade staying power.
