Def Leppard’s busy 2027

The tour comes as Def Leppard approach a major milestone: their 50th anniversary in 2027. The band has also been working on new music, with bassist Rick Savage previously telling PEOPLE that the group was developing material for a forthcoming studio album. The group is also the subject of Long Live Def Leppard, an authorised feature-length documentary announced for 2027. According to the band’s official website, the film is billed as the first authorised feature-length documentary offering an all-access account of Def Leppard. With three generations of rock represented on one bill, the 2027 tour gives fans plenty of reasons to return to the arena. Def Leppard's catalogue, the Goo Goo Dolls' alternative-rock classics and The Struts' modern glam-rock energy could make this one of the year's most notable rock tours.
