Def Leppard will perform its third Vegas residency next year, its first at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The hair-metal hitmakers will perform a dozen times, on February 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, 21, 24, 26, and 28.

“Las Vegas has always been such a main attraction for Def Leppard,” lead singer Joe Elliott said in a statement. “There’s no place on earth where you can have the likes of Adele, U2, and The Eagles all playing sold-out shows on the same night! To do a run at the iconic Colosseum at Caesars Palace is such an honor given the giants that have blessed that stage.”

Tickets go on sale at 10 am PT, July 25 through Ticketmaster. Citi and fan club presales start at 10 am PT, Tuesday July 22. Caesars Rewards, Live Nation, and Ticketmaster presales run from 10 am to 10 pm PT, July 24.

The multiple Grammy-winning “Every Time I Close My Eyes” singer has also written and produced hits for Madonna, Whitney Houston, and Toni Braxton.

No Longer Flying Like an Eagle

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Steve Miller has called off his upcoming tour — which included an October 25 stop at PH Live — due to concerns over cataclysmic weather events.

“The combination of extreme heat, unpredictable flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes, and massive forest fires make these risks for you our audience, the band and the crew unacceptable,” Miller, 81, said on his social media accounts.

“You can blame it on the weather … The tour is cancelled.”
