As summer comes to a close, Def Leppard is already gearing up for an exciting summer in 2026. The legendary band has announced a tour across the UK and Europe, with support from the rock group Extreme. The tour kicks off on June 13 in Rättvik, Sweden, and will include stops in Helsinki, Zurich, and Dortmund. After that, Def Leppard will return to the UK for shows in Glasgow, Sheffield, London, Birmingham, and Manchester. The tour will wrap up with performances at Germany’s Wacken Open Air festival on July 30 and a headlining show in Dubai on August 2.
Fans can get early access to tickets and VIP packages through Def Leppard’s Rock Brigade Concert Club. A presale for members starts on Tuesday, September 2, at 10 a.m. local time, while general ticket sales begin on Friday, September 5. You can join the Rock Brigade on Def Leppard’s website.
Before the summer tour, Def Leppard will have a winter residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, performing 12 shows throughout February on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday nights.
For those looking for something sooner, Def Leppard has two shows left in 2025. They will perform at Radio 2 in the Park at Hylands Park in Chelmsford, UK, on Sunday, September 7, and will headline Hard Rock Live in Gary, Indiana, on October 11.
Def Leppard is one of the most successful rock bands ever, with over 100 million records sold worldwide. They were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.
