Def Leppard Announce Summer 2026 UK & European Tour Dates

Def Leppard have announced UK and EU tour dates in June and July 2026. The eleven dates include headlining the iconic The O2 in London and the Utilita Arena in their hometown of Sheffield. Switzerland, Finland, Germany, and the UK dates will be with Special Guests Extreme.

The 2026 dates will be the first UK and EU headline solo shows since the band’s mammoth sold out tour run in 2023 alongside Mötley Crüe. The 2023 tour saw the band headline venues across Europe, including selling out the iconic Wembley Stadium. That tour was part of a two year run that saw Def Leppard & Mötley Crüe selling over 2.1 million tickets across the globe while performing in 27 countries and on five continents!

Speaking about the tour, frontman Joe Elliott says:

“We’re looking forward to playing Radio 2 in the Park in Chelmsford this week…our only UK date of 2025. But we’re also very buzzed to announce our UK and Euro dates in 2026! Playing to our home crowd and our fans in Europe is very important to us, and we’ll be bringing a brand new show that will feature some surprises as well as the classics! See you soon!!”

This week sees Def Leppard headline the final night of the Radio 2 In the Park Festival on September 7th before returning to the USA in early 2026 for a month-long Las Vegas residency.

Phil Collen says:

“It’s a dream to be coming back to the UK and Europe in June and July next year. And to be coming back with our good friends, Extreme, is a bonus. It’s going to be an incredible night for all the fans!”
