Def Leppard, the titans of rock, are gearing up for an epic 2027 North American tour that promises to shake the very foundations of arenas across the continent. Hot off their third sold-out residency at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, the band has confirmed a sprawling 45-date journey set to commence on March 2, 2027, and wrap up on July 2 of the same year. Alongside the acclaimed Goo Goo Dolls and the electrifying Struts, fans can expect a high-octane experience that only these rock legends can deliver.

In a recent conversation with BraveWords, guitarist Phil Collen was posed a tantalizing question: could Def Leppard be the next band to take up residency at the mesmerizing Sphere in Las Vegas? While he hasn’t personally witnessed a show at the venue—currently hosting Metallica's “Life Burns Faster” and a reimagined “Wizard of Oz”—he expressed enthusiasm about the possibilities. “I think you look, it’s ‘The Sphere Featuring Metallica’, ‘The Sphere Featuring The Eagles’,” Collen noted, emphasizing the unique nature of their Caesar’s Palace performances. “We have our own things, and that’s the only way you’d lose a bit of control with your production.”

Collen’s reflections extend to the historical significance of venues like Wrigley Field and Fenway Park, noting the profound impact of performing in such legendary spaces. It’s a humbling experience to share the stage with history, and for a band that has sold over 110 million albums worldwide, it’s another feather in their already crowded cap.

Mark your calendars, metalheads! Tickets for this highly anticipated tour go on sale starting October 16, with a portion of proceeds benefiting City of Hope, a leading cancer research and treatment organization. For every ticket sold, a dollar will be donated to aid in groundbreaking research and treatment for those battling cancer.

The Goo Goo Dolls are no strangers to massive tours, having recently concluded their own summer run, which featured standout performances at iHeartRadio Festival and Sea.Hear.Now Festival. Their Diamond-certified hit “Iris” continues to shatter streaming records, proving that the band is a force to be reckoned with in the rock scene.

With the tour set to roll through major markets across the U.S. and Canada, fans can expect an unforgettable blend of nostalgia and pure rock energy. So get ready to rock, because Def Leppard is coming to town!
