Sheffield’s finest Def Leppard have announced a mammoth run of North American shows for 2027. The dates commence on March 2 at the PPL Center in Allentown , PA., and conclude four months later at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, IN.

“2027 just keeps getting better!” say the band. “We are excited to announce our new 2027 Tour with Goo Goo Dolls and special guest The Struts – taking over North America next Spring with a night of non-stop hits!

“You can get first access to pre-sale tickets starting this Monday, October 12 at 10am. Tickets will go on sale next Friday, October 16. Be sure to get yours early because this is going to be one for the ages!”

One dollar from each ticket sale will be donated to the cancer research and treatment organisation City of Hope, who have worked with Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell in his battles with the blood cancer Hodgkin lymphoma. Campbell was first diagnosed in 2013, and reported that he was “completely in remission” last year. In August, however, he revealed that the cancer had returned.

“In the winter of 2023, I got really scared about what was happening and the pace at which it was happening,” he said. “And I realised at that point that I had to do a donor transplant. It was my only hope to survive. And that’s what I did. I did that in January of ’25. I did a donor transplant. Unfortunately, it didn’t stick. So the cancer has returned. And I’m continuing treatments to manage it.”

Def Leppard, who completed the European leg of their Live 2026 tour in July, play a one-off show at Seminole Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, FL, next week, and are heading to Mexico, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Colombia and Argentina over the next month. Full dates below.

The band have also released a cover of David Bowie’s “Heroes”, which appears on a rarities disc in their upcoming Volume 4 box set. It’s a new mix of a recording previously used as the band’s onstage intro tape.
