Def Leppard Set 45-Date 2027 North American Tour
By Dana Brooks
Def Leppard are lining up a long road back to North America.
According to Ultimate Classic Rock, the band has announced an extensive 45-date tour for spring 2027, with Goo Goo Dolls and the Struts joining the run. For fans who like their concert calendars planned well ahead, this is one of those announcements that gives 2027 a little extra charge.
The tour is scheduled to begin on March 2, 2027, at PPL Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania. From there, Def Leppard’s North American run will continue across 45 dates before its currently scheduled finale on July 2, 2027, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
A familiar name back on the road
Def Leppard’s return to North America follows a busy stretch for the band. Ultimate Classic Rock reports that they released the single “Rejoice” in early 2026 as they prepared to launch their latest Las Vegas residency.
That detail gives this tour a little more shape than a simple nostalgia trip. Def Leppard remain a band with deep history, but the road ahead also includes new material in the mix. For longtime listeners, that is often the sweet spot: the songs tied to memories, alongside the latest chapter from a group that has kept moving.
Goo Goo Dolls and the Struts join the bill
The 2027 tour will also feature Goo Goo Dolls and the Struts, according to Ultimate Classic Rock. That makes the run a three-act night, bringing together bands from different corners of rock under one tour banner.
For concertgoers, the lineup gives the evening a broad feel without losing its center. Def Leppard are the headlining draw, but the addition of Goo Goo Dolls and the Struts turns the tour into more than a quick stop through town.
