Def Leppard to Have Residency in Las Vegas in 2026
Def Leppard, the iconic rock band, is set to return to Las Vegas for a residency in 2026. Known for their energetic performances, the group will take the stage at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for 12 shows in February. This will be their third residency in Vegas, having previously entertained audiences on the Strip in 2013 and 2019.
Fans can get their hands on tickets for the upcoming shows starting July 25 at 10 am PT. The announcement comes hot on the heels of Def Leppard headlining a new rock festival in Maryland called Boardwalk Rock. The festival featured an impressive lineup including other rock heavyweights like Nickelback, Shinedown, and Rob Zombie, among others. Tickets for the festival are already on sale for music enthusiasts looking to catch their favorite acts live.
Last summer, Def Leppard dropped a fresh single titled “Just Like 73,” featuring a special guest appearance by Tom Morello, the talented guitarist from Rage Against The Machine. The band is set to release the track on a 7” vinyl on August 2, with a unique color variant available exclusively through their online store. Additionally, fans can choose from limited edition packages that include an autographed insert and a t-shirt.
“Just Like 73” marks the first collaboration between Def Leppard and Morello, blending the band’s classic stomp with powerful guitar riffs and an infectious chant. Speaking about the collaboration, band members reflected on the impactful music era of the early ’70s, drawing inspiration from artists like David Bowie. The single pays homage to a time that left a lasting impact on their musical journey.
In May, Def Leppard unveiled their album, “Drastic Symphonies,” a unique project that saw them teaming up with London’s Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The record features reimagined versions of the band’s greatest hits as well as a few rare gems. With various formats available including CD, vinyl, and digital, the album offers a fresh perspective on Def Leppard’s discography.
As the band gears up for their Las Vegas residency and continues to captivate audiences worldwide, their unwavering passion for music and dedication to delivering unforgettable live performances underscore their status as rock legends. Fans can anticipate an electrifying experience at each show, brimming with the energy and magic that only Def Leppard can deliver.
