Def Leppard have confirmed 11 shows taking place across the UK and Europe as part of their arena tour, and with the general on sale going live this morning, we have everything you need to know to beat the Ticketmaster queue and secure tickets.

The UK rock band, which is made up of Rick Savage (bass), Joe Elliott (lead vocals), Rick Allen (drums), Phil Collen (guitar) and Vivian Campbell (guitar), will be visiting their home city of Sheffield, as well as stops at venues in London, Manchester, Glasgow and more.

The Pour Some Sugar on Me singers will be joined by American rock band Extreme, but as the band have promised "surprises and classics" for their upcoming tour, we wonder if they're just talking about the setlist, or if there will be some more special guests up their sleeves...

These shows mark the first time Def Leppard have toured the UK since they stopped off in UK cities as part of their joint world tour with Mötley Crüe back in 2023, so we're predicting demand for tickets will be high. But don't worry, we've got you covered!

How to get Def Leppard UK tour tickets

General on sale for Def Leppard's shows will begin at 10am this morning, Friday 5th September.

As we've seen for releases like Olivia Dean tickets, demand will most likely be the greatest at Ticketmaster, so we'd recommend trying sites like AXS and Live Nation for the general on sale time.

Alternatively, if you're worried about missing out on tickets, head straight over to Seat Unique to purchase a hospitality package. While VIP tickets are slightly more expensive, they offer a more special experience at the concert and an easier check-out process as there's less competition.
