Def Leppard is officially embarking on a North American tour this spring and summer of 2025. The band, which was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2019, is known for their dynamic shows and hits that have captivated audiences for decades. This tour is particularly exciting as it features Bret Michaels, known for his work with Poison, as a special guest, bringing an extra layer of rock prowess to the stage. Extreme, famous for their power ballad “More Than Words,” will join as well on select dates, ensuring a diverse and exciting lineup.

This summer tour is strategically scheduled to visit iconic venues across North America, including the newly established Coca-Cola Amphitheater in Birmingham, Alabama on June 25. Def Leppard is no stranger to headline-making performances, with past tours consistently drawing large crowds. Fans can expect renditions of classics from their extensive catalogue alongside new material from their latest album Diamond Star Halos. Tickets for these highly anticipated shows go on sale soon, with presales beginning on March 18 for Citi cardholders, and a general public sale starting March 21. This comprehensive itinerary includes stops in major cities like San Juan, Ocean City, Milwaukee, Thackerville, and many more, culminating in a grand show at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center on July 22.

With Vivian Campbell's recent challenges stemming from his Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosis, and now his triumphant return to the stage, fans can expect an emotional and invigorating reunion with the band. The presence of John Zocco during Campbell's treatments highlighted the band's resilience and commitment to delivering top-quality performances, regardless of the circumstances.

Their integration of classical rock vibes with contemporary elements in live performances is poised to draw extensive media attention and cultivate significant fan engagement, keeping the spirit of rock and roll alive and thriving. For fans new and seasoned, this tour is set to deliver unforgettable musical moments and solidify Def Leppard’s place in rock history as they continue to inspire audiences with their electrifying performances.
