Def Leppard Glasgow Hydro Stage Times: Set times, support, tickets, setlist, age restrictions
One of the world’s biggest rock groups are on their way to Glasgow.
Formed in Sheffield in 1976, Def Leppard went on to become one of Britain’s most successful rock bands - selling over 110 million albums worldwide.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees, led by frontman Joe Elliot, most recently toured globall with Motley Crue in 2023, when they sold over 2.1 million tickets across 27 countries.
They burst onto the UK music scene with 1980 debut album On Through the Night, but it was fourth album Hysteria that saw them go global - spawning a series of hit singles including Love Bites, Pour Some Sugar On Me and Animal.
To date they have released a total of 12 studio albums, most recently 2022’s Diamond Star Halos.
Now they are in the middle of a 2026 European tour and there’s good news for Scottish fans - with a date in Glasgow.
Here’s everything you need to know if you are going along.
