Dear fans, rock lovers, and lifelong supporters of Def Leppard,
With a deep sense of gratitude and reflection, we’re officially announcing a momentous and emotional milestone in our journey: Def Leppard will hit the road one final time with the One Last Ride Farewell Tour in 2026. After nearly 50 years of iconic music, unforgettable concerts, and a legacy that spans generations, we are ready to bring this incredible chapter to a close in the way we know best—on stage, with all of you by our side.
This farewell isn’t just an end—it’s a celebration. It’s about honoring every memory we’ve made together since 1977, when we first formed in Sheffield. From those early gigs to selling out stadiums around the world, from the heartbreaks to the triumphs, your loyalty and love have kept our music alive. And as we begin our final tour, we want to return that love with a send-off that pays tribute to every fan, every note, and every unforgettable night.
Celebrating a Lifetime of Rock
The One Last Ride tour will be a powerful retrospective of our career. Expect the stage to light up with decades of hits, legendary deep cuts, and a few surprises along the way. We’re putting together an experience that goes beyond a concert—this will be a full-on celebration of our legacy. Enhanced production, surprise collaborations, exclusive fan events, and immersive moments will make this tour unlike any other we’ve done.
We know how much this band has meant to people, and that’s exactly why we’re making sure every show captures the spirit, energy, and defiance that has always defined Def Leppard.
