Def Leppard Announce 2027 North American Tour and David Bowie Cover
Def Leppard have announced a mammoth run of North American tour dates for 2027, bringing along the Goo Goo Dolls and special guests The Struts for a 45-date trek.
The tour kicks off on March 2 at the PPL Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and wraps up four months later at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. Pre-sale tickets become available starting Monday, October 12 at 10 a.m., with general ticket sales opening the following Friday, October 16.
As part of the tour’s charitable initiative, one dollar from each ticket sold will be donated to City of Hope, a cancer research and treatment organization. City of Hope has previously worked with guitarist Vivian Campbell during his treatments for Hodgkin lymphoma.
A Bowie Cover and Upcoming International Dates
Alongside the tour announcement, the band released a cover of David Bowie’s “Heroes.” The track is featured on a rarities disc included in the upcoming Volume 4 box set, and stems from a new mix of a recording previously used as the band’s onstage intro tape.
Before the 2027 North American run, Def Leppard will play a one-off show at Seminole Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida, followed by a string of international dates across Mexico, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Colombia, and Argentina.
