“Las Vegas has always been such a main attraction for Def Leppard” – Band announces 2026 Las Vegas residency

Legendary British rock band Def Leppard have announced their return to Las Vegas with a brand-new residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace scheduled for February 2026.

This marks the Yorkshire band’s third residency in 'Sin City', following previous stints in 2013 and 2019. The upcoming performances will take place throughout the month of February, running from the 3rd to the 28th.

Frontman Joe Elliott expressed excitement at the announcement, saying:

“We’re really looking forward to coming back for our third Vegas residency, and to do a run at the iconic Colosseum at Caesars Palace is such an honour given the giants that have blessed that stage!”

He continued:

“Las Vegas has always been such a main attraction for Def Leppard. There’s no place on earth where you can have the likes of Adele, U2 and the Eagles all playing sold-out shows on the same night!”

Strictly speaking, that statement isn’t entirely accurate – on any given summer weekend in London, for example, it is entirely possible for the city to host three sold-out stadium shows featuring superstar artists simultaneously, with audience numbers vastly exceeding those of concerts held in Las Vegas. Nevertheless, we digress…

Meanwhile, earlier this summer, Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell publicly expressed his heartfelt thanks to the stem cell donor who helped him achieve full recovery from cancer.

Campbell, aged 62, revealed that his Hodgkin’s lymphoma is now in complete remission for the first time since his diagnosis in 2013.

Following a failed transplant using his own cells, and a setback with an initial donor, the Northern Irish guitarist was finally matched with a perfect donor late last year.

The transplant procedure was successful, and Campbell is now in complete remission as he rejoins the band on their current summer tour.
