Veteran British rock titans Def Leppard, celebrated for their immense global album sales exceeding 110 million and their induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, have revealed plans for their third Las Vegas residency. Titled “Def Leppard: Live at Caesars Palace The Las Vegas Residency,” these performances promise a fresh, electrifying production and will take over The Colosseum at Caesars Palace from February 3 to February 28, 2026. This follows the band’s prior successful residencies in 2013 and 2019.
Joe Elliott, Def Leppard‘s lead singer, expressed the band’s enthusiasm for the upcoming shows: “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! 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 honor given the giants that have blessed that stage!”

This announcement comes as the band continues to navigate a dynamic period, including a significant health update regarding guitarist Vivian Campbell. Campbell recently confirmed he is “completely in remission” from Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a condition he has battled since 2013. His recovery included a bone marrow transplant, which led to John Zocco, Phil Collen‘s guitar tech, filling in for Campbell at Def Leppard‘s first 2025 concert on January 18 in León, Mexico. Campbell has since rejoined the band for their live performances.
In other recent news, Def Leppard released a cover of Ben E. King’s 1961 classic “Stand By Me” in January. All proceeds from the track are being directed to FireAid, an initiative supporting those affected by the early 2025 Los Angeles fires. Def Leppard‘s rendition of the song is featured in the Netflix film “Bank Of Dave 2: The Loan Ranger“, released on January 10, where the band makes an appearance performing the track.
