Def Leppard 2023

Def Leppard have just been confirmed to return to the Sturgis Rally in August during the USA leg of The World Tour.

The World Tour 2023 began in Mexico City on 18th February.

The World Tour 2023 was first announced in October 2022 with Motley Crue.

Sturgis Rally 2023

The Sturgis Rally 2023 organisers have announced Def Leppard as part of their 2023 concert line up at the Buffalo Chip Campgrounds venue in Sturgis, SD.

The band play on Thursday 10th August, a day before their World Tour show with Motley Crue in Fargo, ND on 11th August.

A strange choice if you recall what happened the last time they played here in 2015 when Joe said the bike fumes contributed to his health issues and the eventual extra problems he suffered in early 2016.
