Venue names can change or be corrected, so check the ticket page for your city before you travel. The official band page lists cities but not venues, and only a few venue names show up in its ticket links.
Canadian Dates
Five shows are in Canada: Montreal (March 5), Toronto (March 9), Quebec City (March 11), Vancouver (May 14), and Edmonton (May 16). Hollywoodlife names these cities but gives no dates, so use the table above.
How to Get Tickets
Step 1: Pick your presale
- Rock Brigade fan club: Monday, October 12, at 10 a.m. local time. To join or renew, go to DefLeppardRockBrigade.com. Presale links on each date point there.
- Citi cardmembers (US dates): Starts Monday, October 12, at noon local time and runs through Thursday, October 15, at 10 p.m. local time, per JustJared.
- Verizon (select US dates): Starts October 12 through Verizon Shine. Details are in the My Verizon app.
- Other presales: More happen through the week, but no details are public yet.
Eligibility rules apply to presales, and none of the articles I read explain exactly what the Citi or Verizon offers require.
Step 2: The general on-sale
Tickets go on sale Friday, October 16, at 10 a.m. local venue time through LiveNation.com.
Step 3: Stick to official links
Hollywoodlife points readers to Ticketmaster, Live Nation, or each venue’s official link. Ticketmaster also warns that resale prices may exceed face value, so check where you’re buying.
What About Prices?
As of October 8, nobody has confirmed a price range. Hollywoodlife says no ticket prices or VIP package costs were announced. Prices usually show up once presales open, so I’d wait for the real numbers before budgeting.
Who Is Playing?
Def Leppard and the Goo Goo Dolls lead the bill, with The Struts as special guests.
There’s one wrinkle. Hollywoodlife calls the Goo Goo Dolls and The Struts “opening acts,” while Def Leppard’s own page lists the Goo Goo Dolls as headlining alongside the band. Neither source says whether the lineup changes from city to city. I’d call it a co-headlining bill until the band says otherwise.
The $1 Charity Donation
JustJared says $1 from each ticket sold goes to City of Hope, a cancer research and treatment group. I couldn’t find that on Def Leppard’s official announcement, so treat it as unconfirmed until it’s clear on a ticket page.
What Else Is Going On With the Band
Ultimate Classic Rock says Def Leppard released the single “Rejoice” in early 2026, around the start of their Las Vegas residency. Their last album was Diamond Star Halos, and a new one is expected in 2027.
In July, Joe Elliott said the band had about 18 songs in progress, with 10 or 11 likely to make the final cut. The same article notes a separate show on October 15, 2026, at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida, which isn’t part of the 2027 tour.
Where the Coverage Falls Short
I’d flag a few things. Hollywoodlife’s page lists only about 20 of the 45 dates and gives no venues, so it’s not enough on its own. The charity claim comes from one source. And there are no prices yet. If you’re planning travel, use the official date list and wait for ticket pages to go live.
Which city are you hoping to see them in, and are you going for Def Leppard, the Goo Goo Dolls, or both? Tell me in the comments.
