Let’s get rocked one more time as Def Leppard announces a five-date arena tour throughout mid-2026.

Legendary arena rockers Def Leppard have officially announced a new run of UK tour dates for June and July 2026. The tour marks their return to Europe for the first time since their massive co-headline run in 2023 with Mötley Crüe.
The band is set to tear through several iconic venues, including a huge show at The O2 in London and a homecoming gig at the Utilita Arena in Sheffield, following the band's blockbuster 2023 run, which was part of a two-year world tour that saw them perform in 27 countries on five continents, selling over 2.1 million tickets and headlining legendary venues like Wembley Stadium.
Now, they're back to bring their high-energy, classic rock sound to fans across Europe on their own.
Speaking about the tour, lead singer Joe Elliot revealed that “we’re 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!!”
