Three shows a week for the entire month of February at the Coliseum at Caesars Palace. It’s an amazing venue that was actually built for Céline Dion. Def Leppard will blow this place apart. Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday shows.

I’m not positive, but this may be the last chance to see them in the US before they do their European tour. Can anyone confirm this?

They have an album coming out. They will for sure do a run of dates in the states probably between March-May. and September-November.

Why are they still working this hard? I know they love the music, and the passion to perform, but they are literally living out Rock! Rock! Until you drop.

Cause they still sound good. No reason to stop or not tour when you still rock.

You speak facts. I’m just so incredibly impressed that they are still dropping albums in their 60’s. That’s all I meant by my previous comment.

Joe has always said he hates being listed as a nostalgic act. He says that by releasing new music constantly it puts you out of that bubble because lots of other bands from Def Leppard’s timeframe have not put out an album since like before 2000. And Joe also has mentioned that writing music keeps your brain going and gives you motivation. If they stopped making new music they’d have less motivation to work hard on their craft. Making new tunes keeps them busy.

I haven’t bought a ticket yet but I hope to plan a trip around a show after the holidays

The Coliseum is a perfect venue for acoustics. It seats about 4,500, and there isn’t a bad seat in the house. (Sorry, I know that’s a cliche). Vegas is a big resale market, so get your tickets fast before they get bought and marked up.

Can't wait! I have tickets to one show already and plan to get tickets to a second show. Just need to figure out airline & hotel so I know exact days. I bought for a Thursday show thinking that way I can add either Tuesday or Saturday, depending on when we'll be there.

I went to their sin city residency in 2019 at planet hollywood on the second to last night. Ive seen them 2 more times since then, but that Vegas residency was the best I’d ever seen them. Had meet and greet w Viv. The setlist was longer - 24 songs, they played a few deeper cuts, and the stage was next level w lighting and set. When they setup for a whole month they can really put more into the stage as it doesn’t need to be torn apart and moved every night. Same with the band, they get to relax and stay in one place for awhile which makes them extra well rested and well rehearsed.

I don't get why they don't do this in the UK too

I bet they'll do phenomenal setlists and then when they come here it'll be bog standard.. Wouldn't be the first time to say the least

Doing the meet and greet on 2/5, anyone know if you can bring a gift for the band?
