Step inside. Walk this way.
Rock legends Def Leppard gave fans around the globe a thrill when they announced their third residency in Las Vegas.
Set to light up The Colosseum at Caesars Palace from February 3 to 28, 2026, "Def Leppard: Live at Caesars Palace The Las Vegas Residency" is expected to be filled with classic hits and new surprises.
This residency follows their immensely popular sold-out shows in 2013 and 2019, and fans are eagerly awaiting the band's return to Sin City.
Def Leppard Has a Rich and Storied Music History
Def Leppard's journey began in Sheffield, England, in 1977.
The band, led by frontman Joe Elliott, quickly rose to fame in the 1980s with their distinct blend of hard rock and melodic hooks.
They achieved breakout success with the release of their third album, "Pyromania," in 1983, which sold over 10 million copies in the United States alone. Their follow-up album, "Hysteria," released in 1987, became one of the best-selling albums of all time, producing hit singles like "Pour Some Sugar on Me" and "Love Bites."
Throughout the years, Def Leppard has endured challenges, including drummer Rick Allen's car accident that led to the loss of his left arm. Demonstrating resilience, Allen adapted and continued to play with a specially designed drum kit.
The band's perseverance and dedication have earned them a lasting place in rock history, culminating in their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.
What to Expect from the 2026 Caesars Palace Residency
The upcoming Las Vegas shows are expected to showcase Def Leppard's timeless catalog of hits, alongside new additions aimed at delighting both loyal fans and newcomers.
Elliott, the band's charismatic lead singer, expressed his excitement about returning to Las Vegas, stating, "There’s no place on Earth where you can have the likes of Adele, U2, and The Eagles all playing sold-out shows on the same night! We’re really looking forward to coming back for our third Vegas residency."
Def Leppard follows in the footsteps of a number of musical acts that have set up shop in Vegas recently, including:
