Def Leppard have announced a huge world tour for next year, which will see them head over to Europe, India, and Asia.

The tour begins in February at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, which will mark their third Vegas residency, something which Joe Elliott said will see the band dig "a little deeper in the set" on those initial US shows.

"We're planning something completely different to anything that we've done in the past," Elliott had previously said in an interview on the UCR Podcast. 


On their Vegas shows, Elliott added: "The usual thing with Vegas, is that you're putting on a show, not doing a gig," Elliott added. "So that's exactly what it's going to be – [with all of the] bells and whistles for, sure". 

Elsewhere, Def Leppard will also make an emotional homecoming to Sheffield in June, off the back of performing live in India, and Europe, before heading over to Belfast, London, Birmingham and Manchester, before returning to Europe for a show in Paris in August, as well as Germany. They finish with a concert in Dubai, UAE.

Last year, Def Leppard performed string of European shows, doing so without bandmember Vivian Campbell, who was recovering from a bone marrow transplant as he continued a battle with Hodgkin's lymphoma dating back to 2013.

However, last Summer, Campbell revealed that he was "completely in remission" following his long battle with the disease.

“The cancer kept coming back, and then a couple of years ago, it really got bad. So it was the first time in having to deal with it that I was seriously concerned about it. And the doctors told me really my only chance for [a] cure was to do a donor [stem cell] transplant. And that's exactly what I did", Campbell said.

“I started doing more chemo in preparation for it. And then right after the tour, they started giving me very hardcore chemo leading up to the transplant". More on this here.

Back in October, Def Leppard were also honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The band were inducted by Jon Bon Jovi at the ceremony, who praised the band: “I was a fan before I became a friend. These guys were my age from a working class city called Sheffield in England which was thousands of miles away from a place called Sayreville in New Jersey".
