Def Leppard is set to electrify audiences once more with their much-anticipated return to Las Vegas for a new residency in 2026. This marks the legendary British rock band's third stint in Sin City, following highly successful residencies in 2013 and 2019. The upcoming series of performances will take place at the iconic Colosseum at Caesars Palace, a venue renowned for hosting some of the world's most celebrated acts. Scheduled to run throughout February 2026, Def Leppard: Live at Caesars Palace The Las Vegas Residency promises a spectacular new production that will showcase the band's extensive catalog of hits along with fresh surprises for both devoted fans and first-time show-goers.

A total of 12 shows have been confirmed, with performances slated for February 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, 21, 24, 26, and 28. Fans eager to secure their spot can take advantage of the presales starting from July 22, with general ticket sales opening on July 25 via popular platforms like Ticketmaster. Anticipation is high as frontman Joe Elliott expresses his enthusiasm for returning to Vegas, stating, “We’re really looking forward to coming back for our third Vegas residency and to do a run at the iconic Colosseum at Caesars Palace is such an honor given the giants that have blessed that stage!”

The 2026 Las Vegas residency follows the band's ongoing summer 2025 North American tour, which features iconic venues such as the Illinois State Fair and the Minnesota State Fair. The tour is set to wrap up on August 31 in Virginia Beach, VA. Produced by Live Nation, this summer tour includes special guests Bret Michaels, The Struts, and Extreme, adding an extra layer of excitement to the legendary band's already dynamic stage performances. A recent highlight was when the band brought Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello on stage for a surprise performance in Ottawa, delighting fans with a collaborative rendition of “Just Like 73.”

Elliott's excitement for Las Vegas is palpable, as he notes the unique appeal of a city where acts like Adele, U2, and The Eagles seamlessly coexist, performing sold-out shows. This residency not only marks a significant milestone for Def Leppard but also aligns with Las Vegas's reputation as a hub for world-class entertainment. The band's history of packed performances on the Strip further reinforces their allure as a must-see act for rock music aficionados and casual listeners alike.
