Def Leppard extend tour with new summer 2025 dates
Def Leppard have added seven new dates to their touring schedule for this summer.
Def Leppard have announced new summer 2025 dates.
The rock legends - whose hits include 'Pour Some Sugar On Me', 'Hysteria', 'Love Bites' and 'Rock of Ages' - are next due onstage in San Juan, Puerto Rico on May 15, before heading to the US and Canada, with the jaunt currently set to end in Virginia Beach on August 31.

The seven new dates are in Arkansas, Alabama, Maine, New York, New Mexico and Virginia.
Tickets go on general sale on Friday (21.03.25). Head to Tour | Def Leppard for more details.
Joe Elliott and co announced: "The Summer is heatin' up with seven more nights to rock with YOU! Rock Brigade members get first access to Tickets and VIP Packages tomorrow at 10am. Tickets on sale Friday. Are you ready?!? (sic)"
At the start of the year, the band's guitarist Vivian Campbell missed their first concert of 2025 due to his recovery from cancer treatment.
Elliott informed gig-goers at their gig at the Foro Mazda in León, Mexico on January 18 as to why Campbell was absent as he introduced his replacement, co-lead guitarist Phil Collen's guitar technician John Zocco.
He said: “Vivian Campbell cannot be with us tonight.
“He’s just recovering from some treatment for his cancer. So, manfully, please say hello to the guy that’s standing in for him tonight, Mr. John Zocco on guitar.”
Campbell has battled with Hodgkin lymphoma since 2013 and underwent immunotherapy treatment and was part of a clinical trial for the medication pembrolizumab.
