DEF LEPPARD Summer Stadium Tour 2024 In HERSHEY, PA (Show Report/Setlist)
Screenshots
Def Leppard played a Summer Stadium Tour 2024 show last night in Hershey, PA with 18 songs performed.
The show took place at the 30,000 capacity HersheyPark Stadium.
The first show in this city since July 2022.
The 8th time at this venue.
Hot In Hershey
Almost 30 degrees and very humid in Hershey as show time approached but radio silence online.
None of the usual pre show posts by fans or even Phil's roadie.
But HersheyPark Stadium was full up with almost 30,000 fans in the summer heat to witness show #8 on The Summer Stadium Tour.
Hardly any photos posted during the show but lots of cool videos.
Starting off as ever with the new video into and straight into 'Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop)'.
An eighth playing of the same setlist?.
Billy's Got A Gun Tour Debut
As it turned out no!.
A pre show spoiler by the band with the now standard "signed setlist" video.
And in 8th spot - "Billy" and not 'Comin' Under Fire'.
Yes making it's main tour debut was 'Billy's Got A Gun' which was one of the 8 Pyromania songs played in June at the SiriusXM show in Los Angeles, CA.
This song had been played for the first time in the USA since 1983 in 2019 at the 'Hits Vegas/Sin City Residency' Las Vegas, NV.
Now played at a main tour concert again since the 1983 tour and fittingly as that album celebrates its 40th/41st anniversary.
The printed setlist spotted backstage at Show #1 in St. Louis, MO did have the 8th spot as 'Billy/Under Fire'.
Which had suggested a possible night by night rotation but in the end 'Comin' Under Fire' lasted for seven shows.
In 2022 'Fire It Up' was played for the first 11 shows and was only played one more time after that in May 2023 at The Leadmill show.
Hopefully 'Comin' Under Fire' will return at some point.
Quite possibly at the next show in Pittsburgh which is the third show in a row in the state of Pennsylvania.

18 Song Setlist
An 18 song setlist was played.
Both 'Just Like '73' and 'Billy's Got A Gun' were played in this city for the first time.
Hershey, PA History
The first visit to Hershey was for an In The Round show in November 1992 during the Adrenalize tour at the nearby HersheyPark Arena.
The only visit here not to have take place at HersheyPark Stadium.
The 2018 show here saw Joe announce to the crowd that Phil had to leave the tour due to a family emergency with Steve Brown stepping in on guitar.
Last night's show was the the 9th overall performance in Hershey.
Note - As seen below Sav thinks they've played here since 1983. But there is no record of any show before 1992 in Hershey or at this venue before 2006.
The next Def Leppard show takes place in Pittsburgh, PA on 27th July.
