Rock legends **Def Leppard** have officially revealed their **2026 UK & European tour** dates, teasing fans with the promise of “surprises as well as the classics.”
The tour kicks off **June 13** in **Rättvik, Sweden**, with further stops slated across Helsinki, Zurich and Dortmund before the band heads into the UK leg. In the UK, venues include **Belfast**, **Glasgow**, **Sheffield**, **London (The O₂)**, **Birmingham**, and **Manchester**.
A standout addition is **Paris, France**, where the band returns to **Accor Arena** on **July 8**—their first major Paris show in decades.
Support comes from **Extreme** on many of the dates, though some nights, such as the kickoff in Rättvik or the **Wacken Open Air** festival set on **July 30**, are billed simply as “an evening with Def Leppard.”
Frontman **Joe Elliott** said the band is “very buzzed” to bring a refreshed show to their home crowd and European fans, and that they’ll be sprinkling new elements into their classic setlist.
