Def Leppard have announced a Summer 2026 U.K. and European tour with special guests Extreme.
The 11-day trek includes headlining shows at The O2 in London and the Utilita Arena in the English rock band's hometown of Sheffield.
Rick Savage (bass, backing vocals), Joe Elliott (lead vocals), Rick Allen (drums), Phil Collen (guitar, backing vocals), and Vivian Campbell (guitar, backing vocals) are returning to Europe after their mammoth sold-out tour on the continent in 2023.
"We're looking forward to playing Radio 2 in the Park in Chelmsford this week…our only UK date of 2025. But we're also very buzzed to announce our UK and Euro dates in 2026!" said Elliott. "Playing to our home crowd and our fans in Europe is very important to us, and we'll be bringing a brand new show that will feature some surprises as well as the classics! See you soon!!"
Collen added, "It's a dream to be coming back to the UK and Europe in June and July next year. And to be coming back with our good friends, Extreme, is a bonus. It's going to be an incredible night for all the fans!"
