DEF LEPPARD Live 2026 Tour In Hollywood, FL (Show Report/Setlist)
Def Leppard played a Live 2026 tour show in Hollywood, FL last night with 19 songs performed.
The show took place at the 7,000 capacity Hard Rock Live Arena.
The band's seventh visit to this venue.
The fourth year in a row playing here.
Back In Hollywood
Just over one year since the received a star on the Walk of Fame in the 'other' Hollywood, the band returned to the East Coast.
Last time they played in Wacken before 85,000 people in the rain after a three week break.
This time it was the sunshine of Florida and a now VERY familiar setting of the Hard Rock Live Arena @ Seminole Hard Rock Casino & Hotel.
Last played - last year and the year before that, and...etc.
Four years in a row at the same venue which is now fast becoming what Uncasville, CT's Mohegan Sun Arena was in the mid 2000s.
From over 80,000 fans down to a much more intimate setting with 7,000 very loud American fans.
Two and a half months away from the road which may have been spent doing more work on the upcoming new album.
And during which a new documentary was announced, along with the Volume 4 box set.
And the not-so-small matter of 45 more shows to be played in the USA and Canada in early to mid 2027.
The largest run of arena shows there since 2018.
Would they change up the 19 song setlist?.
Las Vegas Comes To Hollywood
Before show time a stage view showed the band brought their Las Vegas Residency show back over from the UK and Europe.
Back for one last show in the USA ahead of a Central/South American run.
And another visit to their fsvourite venue in Florida.
Starting as ever with 'Rejoice' and the now familiar sight of the band assembling on the riser beside Rick.
And from there right into 'Animal' and 'Let's Get Rocked'.
Not many photos were posted online as they played but plenty of good video showed up.
Enough to tell this was a very loud and enthusiastic crowd.
A great start to the last show in the USA of this year.
What followed kept to the same setlist played throughout the summer run without guest Nuno Bettencourt - but he may be back to play on Slang very soon as Extreme are about to rejoin the tour.
Five Years In A Row?
Joe's final words of the night suggested they will perhaps be back for another of their now annual visits to Hollywood, Florida:
"Well, I think we'll just have to come back next year."
This may have been in direct response to the noise the crowd made during PSSOM as the first night of the last leg of the Live 2026 tour came to an end (see Fan Videos for details).
A great start to this now nine show tour on North, Central and South America.
And, of course, more importantly than anything esle, Vivian continues to look healthy and played another great show after announcing he's giving up his rallying to concentrate on all of the upcoming band activity over the next few months.
And now just over 33 years since the first tour of Mexico, the band play there next, and in a new city.
19 Song Setlist
'Rejoice' and 'White Lightning' were played here for the first time.
Hollywood History
The first visit to Hollywood took place in May 1983 at Hollywood Sportatorium on the Pyromania tour.
They returned to the same venue in December 1987 for a Hysteria tour show (at one end due to weight restrictions at the venue).
A show filmed by fans.
Hard Rock Live was played for the first time in 2005 on the Rock Of Ages tour.
They played it again in 2006, 2008 and in March 2023 on The World Tour with Motley Crue.
Two more visits followed in both August 2024 and 2025.
Last night's show was the 9th performance in Hollywood.
The next Def Leppard show takes place on 17th October in Querétaro, Mexico.
