DEF LEPPARD Announce ROCK THE TIDES Festival Show In RIVIERA MAYA, MEXICO
Def Leppard 2025/By Chele Drappel
Def Leppard have just announced a new festival show in Mexico alongside Motley Crue for this November.
Another festival show has been confirmed for 2025.
Quick Return To Mexico
Def Leppard have just announced a new tour date for this November.
They will play the Rock The Tides festival over the weekend of 7th, 8th and 9th November in Riviera Maya, Mexico.
Their first ever visit to this city.
A quick return to Mexico for the band after the first show of the year at another festival in León in January.
Phil and his guitar tech/Def Leppard stand-in guitarist John Zocco also returned to Mexico last month in Ensenada for a private Fender guitar event show.
Three Day Festival
A new festival has been announced featuring Def Leppard and Motley Crue as headliners taking place by the coast in Riviera Maya.
Barcelo Maya is 47 miles south of Cancún in Southern Mexico (on the coast of the Gulf Of "Mexico").
Other acts on the same bill include 2025 tour mates Bret Michaels, The Struts and Extreme.
It's unclear as yet which of the three days Def Leppard will play on but the poster suggests Def Leppard and Motley Crue will headline on different stages as they will next month in Ocean City, MD at the Boardwalk Rock Festival.
Or would have but for Motley Crue being replaced by Alice In Chains who are filling in for them due to Vince Neil missing shows for medical reasons.
The festival is billed as a three day "All Inclusive Destination Festival" taking place at the Barceló Riviera Maya Resort where an outdoor stage will be set up.
The press release also mentions "intimate performances" alongside the main shows.
Tickets for this show go on sale from Wednesday 23rd April.
