Def Leppard Announce 45-Date 2027 North American Tour
Def Leppard have announced a 45-date arena tour across North America for 2027, with Goo Goo Dolls and The Struts joining for the full run. Billboard reported the plan on 8 October 2026, after the band posted the news as “DEF LEPPARD ANNOUNCE 2027 TOUR WITH GOO GOO DOLLS AND THE STRUTS”.
The tour is scheduled to start on 2 March at the PPL Center in Allentown, Pa. It is scheduled to close on 2 July at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Forty-five shows. Four months. Three bands.
The band described the run as taking over North America in the spring, according to its website. The Struts are billed as special guest, with Goo Goo Dolls also on the bill for the dates announced so far.
The routing includes a stop in Pittsburgh. The band will play PPG Paints Arena on 23 March 2027, according to TribLive.
General onsale is set for 16 October at 10 a.m. local time. The on-sale time applies market by market, rather than as a single national on-sale moment.
One dollar from every ticket sold will be donated to City of Hope, the cancer research organisation. The donation comes off the face value of each ticket, meaning the contribution grows with the number of tickets sold across the 45 dates.
The tour announcement also points to more activity around the band next year. Def Leppard will be the subjects of Long Live Def Leppard, a feature-length documentary slated for theatrical release next year.
For fans, this means planning starts now. With arena dates stretching from March into July and two full-tour support acts, the schedule covers a long stretch of the 2027 concert calendar.
