DEF LEPPARD will cross North America again in 2027 with a 45-date arena tour alongside GOO GOO DOLLS and special guests THE STRUTS. The run opens March 2 at the PPL Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania and closes July 2 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, covering major markets across the U.S. and Canada.
Tickets go on general sale Friday, October 16 at 10 a.m. local time through Live Nation. An artist fan club presale starts Monday, October 12 at 10 a.m. local, with further presales running through the week. One dollar from every ticket sold goes to City Of Hope, the U.S. cancer research and treatment organization.
The announcement caps a busy stretch for the Sheffield veterans. Earlier in 2026 they wrapped their third sold-out residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, and they have since played sold-out shows across Europe, South America and Mexico. Their Greatest Hits compilation also returned to the U.K. charts this summer.
For readers in the Bay Area, the tour stops at San Francisco's Chase Center on May 5, two days before Sacramento's Golden 1 Center.
