Rock legends Def Leppard make a comeback in Las Vegas, slated for a 12-show residency at Caesars Palace in 2026.
Rock legends Def Leppard are set to return to Las Vegas for a 12-show residency at Caesars Palace's iconic Colosseum. The shows, scheduled for February 2026, will take place on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, offering fans a unique concert experience.
The residency marks Def Leppard's third stint in Sin City, following their successful performances in 2013 and 2019. This time around, the band is bringing a brand new show concept to the table, designed specifically for the intimate Colosseum stage.
Lead singer Joe Elliott revealed the news in an interview with USA Today, comparing the new concept to Taylor Swift's Eras approach. However, unlike Swift's residency, which organizes shows around distinct phases of her musical career, Def Leppard's residency emphasizes a fresh overall show concept.
The residency will feature a mix of Def Leppard's most popular songs, one from each album, and some unique versions. The exact details about thematic or "Eras"-style segmentation have not been disclosed yet, but the approach is expected to blend their hits with new surprises rather than directly emulating the "Eras" format.
The Colosseum, a 4,100-capacity arena, has been the home to many major artists' residencies, making it the perfect venue for Def Leppard's return to Las Vegas. While the exact dates of the shows have not been revealed, fans can expect an unforgettable experience as Def Leppard delivers a reimagined show design tailored for the Colosseum stage.
The new concept for Def Leppard's residency is somewhat mysterious, according to Joe Elliott, with more details to be revealed at a later date. The residency is sure to be a must-see event for any Def Leppard fan, offering a unique type of experience that promises to be unlike any other Def Leppard show.
