Def Leppard brings rock back to Vegas for new residency: How to get tickets
But in February, the rock titans will commandeer the 4,100-capacity Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for a dozen shows.
'Def Leppard: Live at Caesars Palace The Las Vegas Residency' marks the third residency for the hitmakers behind air guitar classics 'Photograph,' 'Rock of Ages,' 'Hysteria,' 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' and dozens of other hits.
Def Leppard – singer Joe Elliott, guitarists Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell, bassist Rick Savage and drummer Rick Allen – will play at 8 p.m. PT each night:
Presale tickets will be available to Citi card members at citientertainment.com from 1 p.m. ET July 22 through 1 a.m. ET July 25. A fan club presale starts at 1 p.m. ET July 22 and other presales through Live Nation and Caesars Rewards run from 1 p.m. ET July 24 to 1 a.m. ET July 25.
Tickets to the general public go on sale at 1 p.m. ET July 25 via ticketmaster.com/defleppard.
Elliott tells USA TODAY that the quintet is currently tossing out Vegas song suggestions daily. 'We haven't nailed the set yet, but it's percolating in a pot.'
Did Elliott share a bit more about what fans can expect at next year's Vegas shows? You betcha.
Question: This is your third residency in Las Vegas. Are there favorite places the band has discovered there over the years?
Joe Elliott: To be quite honest, I don't go out much. I'm the king of Netflix. Because I'm a singer, what will happen if I go out to eat? I'll hold court and talk all night! I also end up being the Pied Piper because as soon as anyone recognizes you, it gets a bit messy.
I saw the band at the Borgata in Atlantic City last month and heard you visited my favorite restaurant, Chef Vola's, the night before the show.
The food was outstanding and I had to do the treadmill even longer the day after. When I go to restaurants like that, I have to exercise even more. But they really looked after us and nobody came up to ask for a photo. They were like, we had Sinatra here, who are you guys? (laughs)
So you can go out unbothered sometimes?
I think in Vegas on a Sunday you might spot me with a baseball cap on trying to find a restaurant. I might play mini golf at the KISS place (at Rio Las Vegas). Gene (Simmons) told me I had to go last time and we did. We also saw 'Love' twice (the now-closed Beatles-themed Cirque du Soleil show). I went into the gift shop and bent my credit card to death on rugs and mugs and plates. It was total fandom.
Much like the Borgata, The Colosseum at Caesars will give the band a chance to play to a few thousand people at a time instead of a massive stadium.
I love Caesars. It's iconic and a great vibe. The only thing is the hazard of Vegas. It's the strangest place for residencies. It's the worst environment for a voice, bone dry. Step into the boudoir of any singer in Vegas and if they have half a brain, the bath is full of boiling water. That's another reason I don't go out too much, otherwise I'll get on stage and sound like Tiny Tim.
It's still early, but what can you say about the new show?
When we close down this current tour in October, that's the last time you're going to see this particular show. Vegas will have a new concept. We have the A, B and C song list – the crown jewels we have to play, the ones we hope other people like and some that will throw people off. Not to copy Taylor (Swift), but I do like the idea of an eras-type thing, maybe one song from every album. We have the acoustic breakdown that may stay, maybe with different songs. We have to keep some mystique about it, but it's going to be great.

Source: Cindy Ord / Getty Following Warner's tragic passing, the network announced it will air episodes centered on his beloved character this Friday, July 25, at 6 PM ET and again on Sunday, July 27, beginning at Noon ET. Warner's warm wit and sincere spirit as Theo helped define a generation of television, earning him a permanent place in the hearts of fans across the globe. TV One's tribute invites viewers to revisit the laughter, lessons, and landmark moments that made his breakout role so meaningful—from awkward adolescent trials to family heart-to-hearts that still resonate today.

'From his breakout role as Theo Huxtable to his powerful performances throughout the years, his contributions to culture will continue to inspire.' Originally airing from 1984 to 1992, The Cosby Show redefined representation in sitcoms, and Warner's performance as Theo was central to its success—offering an authentic, relatable portrayal of Black boyhood and brotherhood that endures. Through this marathon, TV One hopes to provide a space for viewers to reflect, remember, and celebrate the joy Warner brought to the screen. Fans can continue to catch The Cosby Show weekdays at 7 AM and 6 PM ET on TV One. For more programming updates, visit or follow @tvone on Instagram, @tvonetv on X, and @TVOneOnline on YouTube.
