Def Leppard 2027 tour with Goo Goo Dolls: Dates, presales, tickets and special guests

There’s a reason “Pour Some Sugar on Me” still brings an arena to its feet.

From “Photograph” and “Rock of Ages” to “Love Bites” and “Hysteria,” Def Leppard has spent nearly five decades building one of rock’s most recognizable catalogs. Now, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees are bringing those hits back to arenas across North America.

Def Leppard has announced a 45-date North American tour for 2027, featuring the Goo Goo Dolls and special guests The Struts. The tour begins Tuesday, March 2 at PPL Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania and concludes Friday, July 2 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

The schedule includes major stops at Madison Square Garden, Hollywood Bowl, United Center, Scotiabank Arena and Climate Pledge Arena. The tour also includes five Canadian dates in Montreal, Toronto, Quebec City, Vancouver and Edmonton.

Fans will have several opportunities to buy tickets before the general public on-sale. The Def Leppard Rock Brigade fan club presale begins Monday, Oct. 12, followed by Citi, Verizon, Spotify, Goo Goo Dolls and venue presales throughout the week.

Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, Oct. 16 at 10 a.m. local time.

*SeatGeek is the ticketing partner for the Delta Center show in Salt Lake City and the Rocket Arena show in Cleveland. SeatGeek will host the applicable presales and general onsales for both performances. A separate SeatGeek Presale for Rocket Arena begins Thursday, Oct. 15 at 10 a.m. EDT with the code SEATGEEK.

Def Leppard 2027 tour dates and schedule

Def Leppard also has a separate performance scheduled for Oct. 15, 2026 at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida. That concert is not part of the 45-date 2027 tour.

Who is opening for Def Leppard on the 2027 tour?

Def Leppard is bringing two established rock acts along for the 2027 North American tour. Goo Goo Dolls will join the full run, with The Struts appearing as special guests.

Goo Goo Dolls

The Goo Goo Dolls are known for alternative-rock hits including “Iris,” “Slide,” “Name” and “Black Balloon.”

Formed in Buffalo, New York, the band found mainstream success throughout the 1990s and has maintained a strong touring presence. Its melodic sound and catalog of familiar sing-alongs make it a natural fit alongside Def Leppard’s arena anthems.

The Struts

British rock band The Struts bring a modern glam-rock style influenced by classic arena performers.

Fronted by Luke Spiller, the band is known for theatrical performances, energetic guitar riffs and songs including “Could Have Been Me,” “Kiss This” and “Body Talks.”

The Struts’ high-energy live style should complement Def Leppard’s production and the more melodic sound of the Goo Goo Dolls.

Both acts are included in the 2027 tour announcement. Fans should check individual event listings for any lineup changes.

What to expect at a Def Leppard concert

Def Leppard concerts are built around big guitar riffs, layered vocals and arena-wide sing-alongs.

With decades of music to draw from, the 2027 tour should combine the band’s biggest hits with selections from across its catalog. The Goo Goo Dolls and The Struts also make this a full evening of rock performances rather than a single-opener show.

What songs will Def Leppard play on tour?

Def Leppard has not announced an official 2027 setlist. Based on the band’s established catalog and recent performances, potential songs include:

These are potential selections, not a confirmed running order for the 2027 tour.
