To ring in the occasion, The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers are mixing things up. Advertisement 'When we close down this current tour in October, that's the last time you're going to see this particular show,' lead singer Joe Elliott told USA Today. '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.' As a refresher, those hits include 'Pour Some Sugar On Me,' 'Rock Of Ages,' 'Photograph,' 'Foolin',' 'Love Bites' and many more. Prior to the run on the Strip, Def Leppard will complete their ongoing summer and fall 2025 tour with special guests Bret Michaels, The Struts, Extreme and Brother Cane on select dates. Advertisement That includes a headlining spot at Saratoga Springs, NY's Saratoga Performing Arts Center on Tuesday, July 22.

'Pour Some Sugar on Me' Def Leppard new music Most recently, Def Leppard released a faithful cover of Ben E. King's doo-wop classic 'Stand By Me' to raise money for FireAid, an organization supporting victims of the January 2025 L.A. wildfires. Before that, they dropped their 12th studio album 'Diamond Star Halos' on May 27, 2022. The 15-song offering is the rare record that sounds in step with the group's greatest hits. The production isn't overly shiny or glossy; the guitars maintain their raw quality that sound distinctly Leppard-ian and Elliott's voice is perfectly preserved as are Rick Savage's iconic backing vocals. Album opener 'Take What You Want' is a stadium anthem-ready rocker complete with a classic call and response section that the group specializes in. After that, the shreddin' don't stop. 'Kick' is a heavy slice of pop that might remind fans of 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' — it's radio-friendly but won't alienate true diehards who have been with the band since day one. Advertisement In a bit of a surprise move, Def Leppard duets with bluegrass icon Alison Krauss on the melancholy 'This Guitar,' which features an epic solo courtesy of the titular instrument. This departure is a welcome one for the group. It's nice to see them continue to tinker and experiment with their sound after nearly 50 years together. Krauss joins the gang on the dreamy 'Lifeless' as well. Still, our favorite track of all here might be the strummy, acoustic 'U Rok Mi.' Upon hearing for the first time, we did a double take. This doesn't sound like Leppard. Yet, once the 'Rokin'' chorus kicks in, the 3.5-minute song fits squarely in the band's pantheon of hits. Keep an eye out for this one. It's familiar and fresh and exciting all at once. If you'd like to give the record a spin, you can find 'Diamond Star Halos' here. Huge rockers on tour in 2025 We can't wait for it to get loud this summer. Advertisement Many of the biggest names in rock are touring all over North America these next few months. To make sure you're up to speed, here are just five of our can't-miss favorites. • David Lee Roth • Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Evening • Heart Advertisement • Styx • Foreigner Who else is out and about?

Def Leppard brings rock back to Vegas for new residency: How to get tickets
Def Leppard fans are used to seeing the veteran band headlining stadiums and festivals with some amphitheaters dotting the itinerary. 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 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 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.

How trolling Trump became a strategy for Newsom
California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently shook up his communications team, and now the outspoken Democrat is turning many of Donald Trump 's brash political tactics against the president himself. Newsom and his team have used online trolling, meme wars, mocking TikTok videos, insults such as "cuck," and even a lawsuit against a media company — in this case, one accusing Fox News of misleading reporting — to create an edgy resistance. Why it matters: In the lead-up to a potential 2028 presidential campaign, Newsom is essentially acknowledging that many of Trump's tactics are effective — and he's betting they can help Democrats reach more voters in the attention economy. Newsom remains coy about a White House run, but he's increasingly acting and sounding like a candidate. He's also sat for lengthy podcast interviews with conservative figures, and last week made a trip to the early primary state of South Carolina. Driving the news: In the aftermath of Trump's attacks on Newsom's handling of the fires in Los Angeles this year, the governor retooled his rapid-response operation in ways that resemble that of Trump. Over the weekend, Newsom's office called Trump Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller a "fascist cuck" — a term Trump's team often uses to attack its opponents — after Miller criticized a judge's ruling and called the judge a "communist." "Sorry the Constitution hurt your feelings, Stephen," Newsom's office wrote on social media. "Cry harder." In response to Trump dodging questions this week about releasing more information on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Newsom's team posted a TikTok that included an old photo of Trump and Epstein with Nickelback's "Photograph" playing. Newsom aides also have taken to posting various " Star Wars" and"Simpsons" memes to mock Trump. Following another Trump move, Newsom sat for a four-hour interview with Navy Seal-turned-podcaster Shawn Ryan. Trump had been on Ryan's show during last year's campaign. What they're saying: "In today's fractured media environment, it's never been more important to communicate immediately and effectively. Governor Newsom gets that," Newsom spokesperson Lindsey Cobia told Axios. "While the Trump administration uses these tactics to demean and belittle the powerless, Gavin Newsom is using them to stand up to the powerful and call out the authoritarian methods of the current White House occupant." By the numbers: At a time when Democrats are wrestling with low poll numbers and are searching for ways to counter Trump, Newsom's approach has earned him millions of new followers across social media platforms. On TikTok he now has 1.8 million followers, up from just over 500,000 in March, according to the Internet Archive. That's far more than potential 2028 Democratic rivals such as Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (286,700 followers), Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (382,600), and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (1.4 million), but behind others such as former Vice President Kamala Harris (9.1 million) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (4.1 million). Reality check: Followers don't equal votes. They can, however, be a sign of enthusiasm. Between the lines: Newsom also has been trying to shed what his team feels is the unfair caricature of a San Francisco liberal — which is what Trump's campaign attacked Kamala Harris as in 2024. In his conversation with Ryan, Newsom discussed how he has a "business mindset" and talked about his frustration with San Francisco regulations when he was a young entrepreneur. Newsom also said the Biden administration "failed" in its border policies that Trump exploited in the last election. He said he's not for decriminalizing border crossings, a concept several Democratic presidential candidates embraced in the 2020 primary. Newsom launched his own podcast this year and has had calm interviews with prominent conservatives such as Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Some progressives criticized Newsom for telling Kirk that trans women playing in women's sports was "deeply unfair." Newsom also said he doesn't allow his staff to use potentially alienating terms such as "Latinx," though he previously had used the word. Newsom has had some trouble booking conservatives on his show — a few have declined because they believed that participating could help him politically.

Newsom Calls Out MAGA Influencer for 'Falling in Line' With Trump's Epstein Narrative in 'Genius' TikTok
California Gov. Gavin Newsom called out a MAGA influencer for seemingly agreeing with President Donald Trump's push to stop talking about the files on sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in a slideshow of images on TikTok. In a viral TikTok that has since amassed more than 1 million views, Newsom posted a screenshot of him quote tweeting Turning Point USA founder and CEO Charlie Kirk on X. The governor simply wrote "Retweet" in response to a tweet by Kirk from 2019 calling for Trump to launch an investigation into Epstein's alleged crimes. "[Retweet] if you believe @realdonaltrump should order a FULL INVESTIGATION into Epstein's illegal sexual trafficking from the last 30 years and get answers!" Kirk wrote at the time. Newsom included the retweet of Kirk's post along with a photo of Trump and Epstein together placed in a popular meme template of Nickelback lead singer Chad Kroeger holding a picture frame as the band's song "Photograph" plays in the background. The post led to laughter online, as users applauded the governor for using the pro-Trump influencer's words against him. "Gavin keeping his foot on their neck," one user joked. Another wrote, "The level of pettiness is what we all aspire to have." "Charlie Kirk is already falling in line though, say he is going to 'trust the government,'" one user jabbed at the influencer. One simply added, "Genius," while another wrote, "Gavin, you are a legend." During a Monday episode of Kirk's podcast, "The Charlie Kirk Show," the influencer declared that after all of his coverage of the drama surrounding the Department of Justice and FBI's memo declaring that Epstein killed himself and had "no client list," he was "done talking about Epstein." "Plenty was said this last weekend at our event about Epstein," Kirk said . "Honestly, I'm done talking about Epstein for the time being. I'm gonna trust my friends in the administration, I'm gonna trust my friends in the government to do what needs to be done [and] solve it. Ball's in their hands." Following backlash and news coverage of his quote, Kirk returned the following day to walk back those words. He clarified that he never meant that he wanted to "move on" from Epstein, only that he wanted to "focus on other stories" during Monday's episode. Kirk also responded to Newsom's call out by blasting the governor on a list of hot topics he thinks Newsom should "apologize" for, including "failing to cooperate with ICE" and "bankrupting his state by providing free healthcare to illegals."

Travis Kelce's Sister-In-Law Opens Up About Taylor Swift, Calls Herself A Swiftie
Kylie Kelce revealed that Taylor Swift's name works like magic for the Philadelphia audience Travis Kelce's sister-in-law, the former football coach Kylie Kelce, revealed that she is a big-time Taylor Swift fan. During the latest episode of her podcast with Ed Sheeran, Kylie shared that the 14-time Grammy-winning singer is her cheat code to gain applause from the Philadelphia audience. During a conversation with Ed Sheeran on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Kylie asked him about a moment in his career when he received the most applause, to which the Shape of You singer replied that the unforgettable moment took place in 2013 when Eminem was present at his concert. He explained that the rapper worked like a 'cheat code" for him to receive the loudest cheers. Ed Sheeran then went on to ask host Kylie about her 'cheat code," and without even thinking twice, Travis' sister-in-law replied, 'Taylor," who worked like magic for the Philadelphia audience. She further added that it is 'home" for the Karma crooner, to which Sheeran said, 'It would be Taylor anywhere." The Photograph singer then went on to remember the time when he and Taylor went on a tour together and admitted that Taylor Swift's presence anywhere is enough for the crowd to erupt in loud cheers. He further explained that they have known each other for a long time and share a great bond with the Love Story singer. The duo also collaborated on various music projects, including Taylor's hit track End Game from her widely acclaimed album Reputation. The Sapphire crooner further clarified that he and Taylor often hang out, as he said, 'I probably see her, like, four times a year…and have proper sit-down, six-hour catch-ups." Meanwhile, Travis' family seems to be quite fond of Taylor. The Kansas City Chiefs player and Taylor Swift started dating in 2023. They have been widely referred to as a supercouple or sometimes America's very own royal couple. Travis Kelce's relationship with Taylor Swift has significantly increased his popularity among casual and non-NFL fans, resulting in him receiving the most fan votes for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games.
