Hard rock legends Def Leppard are currently on a big US tour, but fans in Europe can already get excited for next year. In 2026, the band is returning for an exclusive tour, with US rockers Extreme on board as a special guest.
Singer Joe Elliott explains: “It’s very important for us to play for our home crowd and our fans in Europe, and we will be presenting a brand-new show with a few surprises as well as the classics! See you there!!”
Guitarist Phil Collen adds: “It’s a dream to be coming back to the UK and Europe next June and July. And that we are coming back with our good friends from Extreme is just even more wonderful. It’s going to be an incredible evening for all the fans!”
A total of eleven shows are on the schedule, which makes the performances something special. The kickoff will take place on June 13, 2026, in Rättvik, Sweden, before the band heads all across Europe. For the German-speaking region, only two headliner shows are planned in Zurich and Dortmund. The grand finale of the European tour will then take place at Wacken Open Air 2026.
The general ticket presale starts on Friday, September 5th at 10 AM. Members of the Rock Brigade Concert Club or Telekom already have access to the tickets.
