Def Leppard Announce 45-Date 2027 Tour With Goo Goo Dolls
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band's 45-date North American run opens March 2 in Allentown, with the Goo Goo Dolls and The Struts along. Tickets go on sale Oct. 16; $1 from each goes to City of Hope.
Def Leppard are going back on the road. The band announced Thursday that it will play 45 arena dates across the U.S. and Canada in 2027, joined by the Goo Goo Dolls, with the Struts as a special guest.
The tour opens March 2 at the PPL Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania. It ends July 2 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
In between, the run hits the big markets: Madison Square Garden in New York on June 23, the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on May 1, Chase Center in San Francisco on May 5, and Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle on May 9. The Canadian stops include Montreal, Toronto, Quebec City, Vancouver, and Edmonton. The route also reaches smaller markets like Wichita, Lincoln, Spokane, and Savannah.
Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, Oct. 16 at 10 a.m. local time. The band's fan club presale starts Monday, Oct. 12, with Citi and Verizon presales running that day and more presales through the week.
The band shared the news on Instagram on Thursday: “2027 just keeps getting better!” the post read. “Be sure to get yours early because this is going to be one for the ages,” the band wrote.
A dollar a ticket for City of Hope
For every ticket sold, $1 will go to City of Hope, the cancer research and treatment organization.
A busy stretch for the band
The tour follows a strong run. Def Leppard closed their third sold-out Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace in February, then played sold-out shows across the U.K., Europe, South America, and Mexico.
Their 2026 schedule continues with October shows in Hollywood, Florida, followed by dates in Mexico, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Ecuador. It wraps with November concerts in Colombia, Argentina, and Chile.
A feature-length documentary, Long Live Def Leppard, is also scheduled for theaters next year.
By the numbers
The band has sold more than 110 million albums and has 11 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
The Goo Goo Dolls bring their own stats. The four-time Grammy nominees' “Iris” is certified diamond, with more than 6 billion streams worldwide, and they hold the all-time radio record for most Top 10 singles.
