"The famous city of Las Vegas continues to be a draw for the British rock band Def Leppard, as they announce their residency in the city for the year 2026."
## Def Leppard Announces Las Vegas Residency for 2026
Rock legends Def Leppard have announced a 12-show residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, marking their third stint in the city. The residency will run from February 3 to 28, 2026 [1][2][4].
The dates include performances on February 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, 21, 24, 26, and 28, promising an exciting run for fans of the iconic band.
The Colosseum at Caesars Palace has been a popular venue for legendary artists, with performers such as Celine Dion, Elton John, Stevie Nicks, Rod Stewart, Shania Twain, and Adele gracing its stage [3]. Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott expressed his excitement about playing at The Colosseum, stating that Las Vegas has always been a main attraction for the band [2].
Vivian Campbell, Def Leppard's guitarist, has faced a significant personal challenge. In 2013, he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. After undergoing an initial transplant of his own cells, Campbell experienced further disappointment when a new donor did not work out. However, Campbell's cancer is now in complete remission [1].
Campbell is currently joining Def Leppard on their summer tour, making a triumphant return to the stage. The specific details of the stem cell donor who helped Campbell achieve remission are not provided.
Def Leppard previously undertook residencies in Vegas in 2013 and 2019, demonstrating their enduring popularity and connection with the city. The band's 2026 residency is set to be another unforgettable chapter in their storied career.
