UK’s greatest arena rock band returns with a massive headline show in Dubai
Get ready to turn up the volume as rock legends Def Leppard are headed to the UAE!
The iconic British band will bring their electrifying energy, massive stage show, and era-defining hits to Coca-Cola Arena, Dubai on Sunday, 2 August 2026, as part of their highly anticipated 2026 headline tour.
This Dubai date follows stops in the UK, Switzerland, Germany, and Finland, and marks the band’s first-ever solo headline show in the UAE, following their sold-out 2023 world tour with Mötley Crüe.
Joe Elliott, frontman of Def Leppard, shared the band’s excitement: “We’re really happy to be announcing more dates in 2026!

“Playing to our home crowd and our fans in Europe and Dubai is very important to us, and we’ll be bringing a brand-new show that will feature some surprises as well as the classics! See you soon!”
With over 110 million albums sold worldwide, two Diamond Awards in the U.S., and a coveted spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Def Leppard have built a legacy that few rock bands can match.
From timeless anthems like Pour Some Sugar on M, Animal, Hysteria and Rock of Ages, to their spectacular live shows, Def Leppard’s reputation as the kings of arena rock remains untouched.
The band’s latest album, Drastic Symphonies, a collaboration with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, was released to critical acclaim in 2023, charting at No. 4 in the UK, their highest placement in over three decades.
Expect a high-octane night of pyrotechnics, soaring vocals, and wall-to-wall rock classics, as the group brings their full-scale stadium production to Dubai for what promises to be one of the most unforgettable shows of 2026.
