Def Leppard Announce 45-Date 2027 Tour With Goo Goo Dolls and The Struts

Def Leppard are taking a three-band bill across North America in 2027. The band’s October 8 announcement pairs them with Goo Goo Dolls and special guest The Struts, with 45 dates running from March 2 in Allentown, Pennsylvania, to July 2 in Indianapolis.

Four months, two countries, one big guitar bill

The published route includes Montreal, Toronto, Quebec City, Vancouver and Edmonton alongside US stops including Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York. Rather than a short summer sprint, the itinerary stretches from early March into July, with breaks between sections.

For guitar fans, the appeal is the spread of approaches on the bill. Def Leppard bring the partnership of Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell; the supporting acts give the evening room to move beyond one band’s catalogue. An announced bill is a reason to look ahead, though it tells us nothing yet about setlists or guest collaborations.

When tickets go on sale

Rock Brigade members are offered first access from October 12. General ticket sales begin October 16. Check the official itinerary and the individual event listing for the correct local sale time and venue details.
