Def Leppard<\/a> will return to North America for an extensive 2027 tour next spring.<\/p>\n Goo Goo Dolls<\/a> and the Struts<\/a> are also part of the upcoming outing, which kicks off March 2 in Allentown, Pennsylvania. There are 45 dates booked for the run, which is currently set to conclude July 2 in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n You can see the complete tour itinerary below.<\/p>\n Tickets will be available starting with an Artist Fan Club presale beginning on Monday, October 12 at 10 am local followed by a CITI and Verizon presale for the U.S. dates on Monday, October 12 at 12 pm local. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general onsale beginning on Friday, October 16 at 10am local time at Livenation.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Sheffield hard rock legends released “Rejoice<\/a>,” a new single, in the early part of 2026 as they were getting set to launch their latest Las Vegas residency<\/a>.<\/p>\n As Phil Collen told UCR earlier this summer, they’ve continued to use every spare moment to work on a forthcoming album, which is expected to arrive in 2027. They’ve drawn on a lot of different inspirations as they’ve been working on new music, including a familiar source.<\/p>\n “What we’ve been doing now, I mean, the last album [Diamond Star Halos<\/a><\/em>] was amazing. We did it during COVID,” he said<\/a> in late July. “Me and Joe [Elliott]<\/a> had a best time ever, just sending ideas. But we always wanted to be Queen<\/a>. What Queen would do, you know. John Deacon<\/a> writes ‘Another One Bites the Dust,’ but everyone puts everything into it.”<\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> How ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ Became Surprisingly Heavy<\/a><\/p>\n “So, what Queen would do, you know, they would let Freddie Mercury<\/a> take the stage and go, ‘Okay, we’re gonna put all this stuff in.’ You know, Roger Taylor<\/a> doing all these high vocals and everyone put everything into other people’s songs, but it still had that Queen mark to it. But it also had something different. So we’ve started doing something like that and I think this album’s really diverse, the one we’re doing right now.”<\/p>\n As Elliott revealed in early July, the good news is that they’re not thin on material for the upcoming record. They had about 18 songs in their working list, though he stressed that not all of them would make the final track listing.<\/p>\n \u201c[W]e\u2019ve kind of got nearly two albums,\u201d he explained<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019re gonna pick and choose which 10 or 11 we think are the right ones\u2026 we’ve got some great songs \u2013 very varied.\u201d<\/p>\n The band has been tackling the album duties in unusual places as well, going so far as to set up a studio in the basement in Las Vegas while they were in town for the residency. It’s been a busy year, just generally. They played more shows overseas, including further dates with their 2025 tour mates Extreme.<\/p>\n They’ll finish out the current year on the road as well, with shows in October and November in a number of overseas territories, including Mexico, El Salvador and Costa Rica. U.S. fans can catch a warmup date Oct. 15 at the Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida.<\/p>\n March 2, 2027 \u2013 Allentown, PA \u2013 PPL Center Underneath it all, they are fans of music. That love and belief in music \u2013 other people\u2019s as much as their own, and sometimes more \u2013 always seems to bring Def Leppard home.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Ultimate Classic Rock Staff<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhen Will the New Def Leppard Album Be Released?<\/h3>\n
