DEF LEPPARD Live 2026 Summer Tour In Zürich (Show Report/Setlist)
Def Leppard played a Live 2026 tour show in Zürich, Switzerland last night with 19 songs performed.
The show took place at the 13,000 capacity Hallenstadion.
The band's first visit to Zürich since 2006.
The third time at this venue and another show with special guests Extreme.
Return To Zürich
Following a two show visit to Scandinavia the band headed on to Switzerland.
The first time in the country since 2019 when they played a festival in Hinwil and first time in Zürich for 20 years.
The very brief YEAH! European tour of June 2006 was the last time in this city when they returned to the first venue they had played here in 1983.
But for this show they were back to a venue last played in May 1993 on the Adrenalize tour.

Switzerland being a country where the band have had many of their recent albums go Top 10 in the charts.
Somewhat surprisingly a lack of shows played here in that time, but now a return to a big indoor arena.
A second show to be played with their new special guests.
Special Guests - Extreme
Extreme played another 10 song set.
Plus their Ozzy Osbourne tribute medley at the end of the show featuring 'I Don't Know', 'Bark At The Moon' and 'Crazy Train'.
Switzerland Rejoices
Another 9pm start as they opened again with 'Rejoice' and the dramatic show opening.
Sadly for anyone following online a very slow night and not a lot of action being shown to us 'live'.
But yet another great show by the band in front of a packed arena of well over 10,000 Swiss fans.
Joe went up into of the aisles of the side seating area in the middle of the arena to sing 'Rock On' as he had on the balcony in Las Vegas in February.
Probably did this in Helsinki too but wasn't noticed in the fan videos/pics.
Joe acknowledged the gap between visits here before 'Let's Get Rocked':
"It's been way too long."
Yes, 20 years is a long time between shows but they more than made up for it with the most spectacular show yet played here.
Definitely a step up from the small show in 2006 and even the Adrenalize and Hysteria tour shows here in their heyday.
They will soon return to another arena venue not played for an even long time in Germany.
But first a quick day off followed by a return visit to an outdoor festival in Belgium.
19 Song Setlist
'Rejoice', 'Personal Jesus' and 'Just Like '73' all played here for the first time.
'When Love & Hate Collide' and 'Slang' were also played here for the first time due to not being included in 2006.
Zürich History
The first visit to Zürich took place in October 1983 on the Pyromania tour at Volkshaus.
The Hysteria tour saw them play at the Hallenstadion in March 1988 for the first time.
They returned for a second time in May 1993 on the Adrenalize tour.
The last visit in 2006 saw a return to the Volkshaus venue.
Last nights show was the 5th performance in Zürich.
The next Def Leppard show takes place in on 21st June in Dessel, Belgium at an outdoor festival.
