This page contains all the latest news I could find, from various sources on the web, And also everything i know about the new soon-to-be-released album. Nothing is certain and there may be changes in the future.

New Album-

Def Leppard's 9th album is planned to be released in June 8th 1999.
An official album name is "Euphoria"- another 'ia' ending word!! :)
The first single from the album is called "Promises" and will be released on May 24th!!!
And the band says the music is gonna be Hysteria-Pyromania style, as i heard, 4 of the lyrics were written by Robert John "Mutt" Lange (The one who produced "Hysteria").
Producing the 'Euphoria' album will be Pete Woodroffe.

Probable songs to be in the new album:
-Demolition Man
-21st Century Sha-La-La Girl
-It's Only Love
-Guilty
-All Night
-To Be Alive
-Back in Your Face
-Goodbye
-Promises
-Paper Sun
-Disintegrate
-Day After Day
The band has finished recording just a short while ago, and they still have to mix it and make final arrangements. I hear the album sleeve is gonna be done by the same people who did Hysteria and Pyromania, which means it's gonna be interesting. :)

Many tour dates were scheduled already in the USA for this summer, and there are plenty more to come.
Now, many sites have tour dates sections but i can't link to them all, I figured it would be best just to link to the main source of information , it has all the tour dates known so far and updates often. Pollstar - Def Leppard Tour Daets .
