Def Leppard Announces UK & Europe Tour
The rock legends will hit the road in summer 2026 following a winter Vegas residency.
With the summer wrapping up, Def Leppard is already making plans to rock the next one. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers have announced a run of tour dates in the UK and Europe for summer 2026 with support from fellow heavy hitters Extreme.
The band’s travels begin June 13 in Rättvik, Sweden, with stops in Helsinki, Zurich, and Dortmund to follow on the continent. From there they’ll be off to their native UK for gigs in Glasgow, their hometown of Sheffield, London, Birmingham, and Manchester. The tour wraps up with visits to Germany’s Wacken Open Air festival July 30 and a headlining show in Dubai on August 2.
Members of Def Leppard’s Rock Brigade Concert Club will get the first crack at tickets and VIP packages with a Rock Brigade presale starting Tuesday, Sept. 2 at 10 a.m. local time. General ticket sales begin this Friday, Sept. 5. Rock Brigade membership is available for purchase at Def Leppard’s website defleppard.com.
The summer tour will follow Def Leppard’s winter residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The band will play 12 shows at the legendary Vegas locale’s Colosseum Theater throughout the month of February, playing weekly on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday nights.
More imminently, Def Leppard have two remaining 2025 live dates on the books. This Sunday, Sept. 7 they’ll play Radio 2 in the Park at Hylands Park in Chelmsford, UK. And on Oct. 11, the band will headline Hard Rock Live in Gary, Indiana.
Def Leppard is one of the world’s most successful and acclaimed rock bands. Delighting audiences with an electrifying blend of heavy metal, pop, and glam rock, the group has sold more than 100 million records worldwide and is one of only five rock bands in history with two Diamond-certified albums, signifying more than 10 million copies sold in the United States alone: 1983’s Pyromania and 1987’s Hysteria. They were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.
