Rock aficionados, brace yourselves — it’s official: Def Leppard is set to deliver their final encore with the “One Last Ride” tour, launching a Las Vegas residency in February 2026. The band, a British rock institution, will say a dramatic (and stage-filling) farewell at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace with twelve electrifying performances.
Dates & Concept
Here’s the full roster of February dates:
- February 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, 21, 24, 26, 28, each show kicking off at 8 p.m. local time.
According to New York Post, the residency will reimagine Def Leppard’s catalog with an “eras-style” production — one track from each album, fan favorites, deep cuts, and acoustic surprises. Expect hits like “Pour Some Sugar On Me,” “Rock of Ages,” “Photograph,” “Foolin’,” and “Love Bites.”
Frontman Joe Elliott shared that this will be a fresh creative presentation — framing the band’s rich history as a journey across their discography, layered with intimate, acoustic, and spontaneous elements to keep things mysterious and memorable.
Ticketing & Presale Details
Ticketmaster will handle the ticketing for this historic run. Presales began July 22, 2025 through fan clubs, Citi Entertainment, and Caesars Rewards. General ticket sales opened on July 25, 2025.
Context: A Farewell Amid a Big Year
This Vegas farewell caps off a monumental period for the band.

The trek includes special guests such as Bret Michaels, The Struts, and Extreme.
