Def Leppard take Hysteria to sea

Def Leppard are the latest band to confirm they’re heading out to sea – they’ll hold a four-day Caribbean cruising event in January next year.

Hysteria On The High Seas takes place aboard the MSC Divina, leaving from Miami, Florida on January 21 and stopping at Half Moon Cay and Freeport in the Bahamas.

Def Lep – who’ve just completed work on their 11th album and promised “something unique” last week – say: “Your days and nights will be filled with music, theme nights, and special events.

“The Divina is pure luxury. Whether you choose a luxury suite in the private and exclusive MSC Yacht Club, or a beautiful Balcony Stateroom with luminous views, you’re sure to enjoy a voyage like no other.

“Music, you ask? Our ship will have multiple stages from the Divina’s state of the art theatre, our festival stage on the pool deck, and more intimate performances in our atrium and black and white lounge.”

More details will be revealed in the near future.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
