Announcement: Def Leppard Set For 2025-2026 Summer Tour Journey With…

Def Leppard has been thrilling audiences for over 40 years, and their passion for energizing fans only continues to

grow.

The band, featuring Joe Elliott (vocals), Rick Allen (drums), Phil Collen (guitar), Vivian Campbell (guitar), and Rick

Savage (bass), is gearing up for its third consecutive summer stadium tour, set to kick off on July 6 in St. Louis.

Known for their electrifying performances, Def Leppard consistently delivers a setlist packed with their catchy,

melodic hits from their 12 studio albums. Classic tracks like “Photograph,” “Let’s Get Rocked,” “Foolin’,” and

“Armageddon It” are just a glimpse of what fans can expect, along with newer material.

Their upbeat song “Kick” from the 2022 album “Diamond Star Halos” has become a staple in their live shows, and

this tour will also feature “Just Like 73,” a fresh track with influences from Gary Glitter and Slade.

Collen understands that for Def Leppard to remain relevant, their set list, production, and staging must constantly

evolve. He cites two monumental artists as inspiration: “When you see Taylor Swift or Beyoncé in concert, it’s taken

to another level,” he explains. “For us, it’s always about someone raising the bar, and we strive to exceed it.”

In a conversation a few weeks before their 23-date co-headlining tour with Journey, the upbeat, often shirtless

guitarist discussed how he stays healthy on tour and his pre-show routines.

The tour will also feature the Steve Miller Band and Cheap Trick on various dates; Heart was originally scheduled for

three shows, but due to Ann Wilson’s cancer diagnosis, Cheap Trick will now open on July 30 and August 2, with the

Steve Miller Band performing on August 5.
