The rock legends will light up the stage at Coca-Cola Arena.
2025 is packed with concerts in the UAE, and 2026 is looking just as exciting. Earlier this week, it was announced that Linkin Park would be heading to the capital next year. Now, rock fans will see the legendary Def Leppard making their UAE return with a show in Dubai next year.
Taking place on 2 August 2026, Def Leppard will take over the stage at Coca-Cola Arena. The upcoming show promises to be a great night of rock and unforgettable hits. We hope they play some of their rock classics, such as “Pour Some Sugar on Me” and “Love Bites.”
For those unversed, Def Leppard is a rock band from the UK, comprising Joe Elliott, Phil Collen, Rick Savage, Vivian Campbell, and Rick Allen. The band has sold more than 110 million albums worldwide and has also been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Their groundbreaking albums, including Hysteria and Pyromania, set the bar for generations of music fans and artists. With hits like Rock of Ages, Animal, and Foolin’, Def Leppard has cemented its place in the world of music.
Def Leppard’s last gig in the UAE, which took place in 2022, was a success. The band performed in Abu Dhabi, as part of the YASALAM F1 after-race concerts, leaving fans hoping for more. Their live shows are always iconic, and the upcoming show in Dubai promises to be nothing different either.
Tickets to see Def Leppard live in Dubai will go on sale soon, with artist pre-sale up on 2 September, followed by Live Nation’s pre-sale on 4 September. General sales will go live on 5 September.
If you’re a fan, grab yours early because this is a night you won’t want to miss. With decades of hits and a reputation as one of the world’s greatest live rock bands, Def Leppard’s return to the UAE promises to be epic.
