DEF LEPPARD are set to release deluxe editions of the classic albums Pyromania and Adrenalize, on June 8th (UK), June 9th (world), June 16th (North America).

The band will also headline Dublin's O2 Arena on June 12th and the UK's Download festival on June 14th.

Both deluxe editions will feature deluxe digipack gatefold packaging with expanded booklets containing rare and previously unseen photographs, comprehensive sleeve-notes telling the story behind each album and include images of rare single covers and memorabilia from the period.

Produced by Robert “Mutt” Lange, Pyromania (the band’s third album originally released in 1983) sold over 10-million copies in the USA alone and spawned the huge singles ‘Photograph’, ‘Rock Of Ages and ‘Foolin’.
