Start packing your leather jackets, rockers — Def Leppard is heading back to Sin City in 2026!
The legendary British rockers have officially announced their first dates for the new year: a 12-show residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, kicking off a fresh chapter of high-octane nights on the Strip. Titled “Def Leppard, Live at Caesars Palace: The Las Vegas Residency,” the run promises blistering hits, deep cuts, and all the anthemic glory fans expect from one of rock’s most enduring live acts.
This marks the band’s third Vegas residency, following sold-out stints in 2013 and 2019. “Las Vegas has always been such a main attraction for Def Leppard,” frontman Joe Elliott said. “There’s no place on earth where you can have the likes of Adele, U2, and the Eagles all playing sold-out shows on the same night! To return to the iconic Colosseum stage is truly an honor.”
Their previous Vegas run featured an epic 23-song setlist spanning the band’s iconic discography — including eight tracks from Hysteria, four from Pyromania, and fan-favorites from High ‘n’ Dry, Adrenalize, and their 2015 self-titled LP. Expect a similarly career-spanning spectacle when they take the stage in 2026.
