Def Leppard release the six-CD box set Volume Four on 13 November 2026. The 11-LP 180g vinyl edition follows through UMR, while the six-CD format is issued by EMI.
Three albums anchor Def Leppard’s Volume Four set
The six-CD set is due on 13 November 2026 and brings together the band’s complete recorded output from its later catalogue. The collection is the fourth of six volumes devoted to the band’s recorded work. Three albums form its core: Def Leppard, Diamond Star Halos and Drastic Symphonies. Three further discs add demos, live recordings, alternate mixes and collaborations curated by Joe Elliott.
The release also includes previously unreleased material and tracks appearing on CD for the first time. The Universal six-volume details identify UMR as the label and list both the 11-LP 180g vinyl and limited-edition CD formats.
The box is designed as an archival survey rather than a new studio album. Its three rarities discs add demos, live recordings, alternate mixes and collaborations to the album sequence. The package includes a hardback book, Ross Halfin photography, new band interviews and liner notes by Paul Elliott. That combination makes Volume Four both a catalogue summary and a rarities collection.
Def Leppard’s Sheffield identity meets its later catalogue
The official five-member line-up lists Joe Elliott, Rick Savage, Rick Allen, Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell. The roles cover lead and backing vocals, guitar, bass, drums and percussion across the current band.
Def Leppard come from Sheffield and work within British rock, with hard rock and glam metal elements. The five-member identity connects Volume Four with the recordings gathered in its album and rarities sections, rather than presenting the set as an anonymous archive.
