Def Leppard will release Volume 4 on 13 November 2026, a fourth volume in the band’s six-part archive series. The box set will bring together studio albums, rarities and previously unreleased material in physical editions.
Volume 4 expands Def Leppard’s recorded archive
For the 13 November 2026 release, Volume 4 will serve as the fourth instalment of six collections celebrating the band’s complete recorded output. It will combine three studio albums with a substantial rarities section, keeping the albums in their original packaging.
The band’s official Volume 4 announcement lists an 11LP 180g vinyl box set and a limited-edition six-CD box set. RAMzine gives the release date as 13 November 2026 and names UMR as the route for both editions.
Three Def Leppard albums anchor Volume 4
For the 13 November 2026 set, the album sequence will include Def Leppard, Diamond Star Halos and Drastic Symphonies. The collection will place those records beside demos, live sessions, alternate mixes and collaborations, creating a clear split between the core albums and the archival material.
The 13 November 2026 release will also make available Revolution, the band’s cover of The Beatles song. It was recorded for a television advert that went unused, leaving the track unreleased until its inclusion in the collection.
The Sheffield line-up behind the collection
The 13 November 2026 project comes from the Sheffield arena-rock band whose archive is built around large-scale studio albums and rare recordings. The set’s structure places the group’s album catalogue and its less familiar material in one release.
Joe Elliott, Rick Savage, Rick Allen, Vivian Campbell and Phil Collen contribute interviews to the book included with the box sets. Rare tracks are curated by Joe Elliott, while the physical editions also include photography by Ross Halfin and liner notes by Paul Elliott.
