DEF LEPPARD End Live 2026 Tour In Santiago, Chile (Show Report/Setlist)
Def Leppard played a Live 2026 tour show in Santiago, Chile last night with 20 songs performed.
The show took place at the 15,500 capacity Santander Arena.
The band's first time at this venue.
The first visit to this city since March 2023.
Return To Chile
Following another great show in Buenos Aires played to 15,000 fans the band travelled all the way to Santiago in Chile.
A journey of around 861 miles for the last show of this Live 2026 tour.
A tour that started all the way back in February with a 12-date Las Vegas Residency, a quick visit to India in March and a UK/European run in the summer.
And for the last show upping the capacity of the venue from 15,000 to 15,500.
A first time visit to another former "Movistar Arena" which became Santander Arena in September 2026,
A dome-shaped arena covered with lots of LED lights on its roof.
The perfect setting to end this South American tour.
Fahrenheit
A local band were added as openers for this show.
Fahrenheit took to the stage at 6:30pm to start the last night of the tour off.
The band formed in 2001 and feature - Chaz Thomson (Lead vocals), Ignacio Torres (Guitar), Carlos Otto (Guitar), Carlos Cid (Bass) and Juan Ignacio Almarza (Drums).
They released three albums between 2004 to 2009 and an EP in 2025 called The Love EP.
Extreme
Extreme played from 7:30pm with their last opening set of the tour.
The End Of The Tour
The first ever Def Leppard indoor arena show to be played in Santiago started at 9pm.
Just over 15,000 fans rejoiced as they saw Def Leppard play indoors for the first time in their own country.
Greeted by the sight of Joe displaying the Chilean flag on his sunglasses during the opening song.
There were six debuts for songs at this show, with both 'Slang' and 'Two Steps Behind' also not played here before, alongside the three newer additions to the set and 'White Lightning'.
The band were playing brilliantly and the crowd were singing along loudly to every song.
Joe greeted them early before 'Let's Get Rocked' with:
"Hola Santiago!."
And let them know this was indeed the last night of the 2026 tour:
"This is the last show that we are doing this year."
"And what a f***ing great place to finish!."
The fans posted many pics and videos during the show so fans elsewhere could follow events and confirm another 20 song setlist was played.
In contrast to earlier tours where they used to reduce the length of the show as it ended, this year has seen the set length increase.
And of course certain songs also increased in length including 'Slang' which once again, and perhaps for the last time, had Extreme's Nuno Bettencourt as a special guest.
His record of guest appearances with the band may never be beaten.
It's safe to say this show was just as good as any other on this last run of shows for the year 2026.
And Joe summed up the band's feelings at the end with:
"What an amazing way to finish a tour."
And after 37 shows the Live 2026 tour, which was of course a continuation of a 12-date Las Vegas Residency, has now come to an end.
Next up a four month break before the 45 date North American tour starts in March 2027 to be preceded by a documentary, lots of promo and a new album/singles.
20 Song Setlist
'Rejoice', 'Personal Jesus', 'Just Like '73', 'White Lightning' plus 'Slang' and 'Two Steps Behind' were all played here for the first time.
Santiago History
The first visit to Santiago took place in September 2017.
An outdoor show at Estadio Monumental was part of the STGO Rock City festival with original headliners Aerosmith cancelling.
This meant Def Leppard headlined their first stadium show in Chile at a venue they had cancelled a planned show at in April 1997 on the Slang tour which would have been their first show here.
The last show took place in March 2023, an outdoor show at Estadio Bicentenario De La Florida, with Motley Crue on The World Tour.
Last night's show was the third performance in Santiago.
The next Def Leppard show takes place on 2nd March 2027 in Allentown, PA.
