Def Leppard have confirmed they’re heading back to Las Vegas for another explosive residency in 2026.
The iconic British rockers announced they will take over The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for 12 shows throughout February, marking their third Vegas residency following the massively successful Viva! Hysteria (2013) and Def Leppard Hits Vegas: The Sin City Residency (2019).
The new run kicks off on February 3, 2026, and wraps at the end of the month, with dates spread across several weekends, perfect for fans flying in to experience Sin City and one of the greatest live rock bands of all time.
Frontman Joe Elliott expressed his excitement about returning to the Strip. “Las Vegas has always been such a main attraction for Def Leppard,” he 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. It’s a privilege to be part of that atmosphere.”
The Sheffield-born quintet, who formed in 1977 and became one of the defining bands of the 1980s, promise an entirely new production for the 2026 shows. They’ve teased setlists that will celebrate their biggest hits, including Pour Some Sugar On Me, Hysteria, Photograph, and Animal, as well as deep cuts and fan favourites that rarely make it into their arena tours.
Elliott added: “We always like to keep things fresh for the fans. Of course, you’ll hear all the songs you know and love, but we’ve got a few surprises up our sleeve to make this run really special. Vegas gives us the chance to do something different every night.”
Tickets are expected to go on sale later this year, with presales likely opening for fan club members and Caesars Palace guests ahead of the general public release.
Fans around the world have already taken to social media to share their excitement about the announcement, with one saying: “Def Leppard in Vegas again? Count me in! That last residency was unforgettable.” Another wrote: “Bringing the rock to the Strip. Can’t wait to see what they’ve got planned this time!”
Def Leppard continue to prove their enduring appeal, having sold more than 100 million records worldwide and earning their place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2019. For fans old and new, their 2026 Vegas residency looks set to be another must-see event.
