Def Leppard will be honored with the 2,825th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, recognizing their significant contribution to music, with the ceremony scheduled for October 9, 2025, at 11:30 a.m. PT outside the Capitol Records building.

The ceremony will feature prominent guests like Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Resnikoff, with SiriusXM's Bob Buchmann serving as the emcee, and will include other legendary rock acts.

This honor highlights their enduring legacy, which includes induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2019 and multiple diamond-certified albums such as 'Hysteria' and 'Pyromania'.

Recently, the band released new music including 'Just Like 73,' a collaboration with Tom Morello, and 'Drastic Symphonies,' an orchestral album with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, both released in 2023.

Their active engagement with new projects demonstrates their ongoing relevance, with upcoming tour plans in Europe and the U.K. starting in June 2026.

Following their busy 2025 schedule, Def Leppard will perform a concert in Gary, Indiana, on October 11, and will begin a residency at The Colosseum in Las Vegas in February 2026.

They will release their first-ever 4K UHD concert film, 'Live From Sheffield,' featuring a performance at The Leadmill, their hometown venue, with a setlist spanning their entire career.

The Sheffield concert was part of their European tour with Mötley Crüe, drawing nearly 40,000 fans and featuring UK debuts of songs like 'Take What You Want' and 'This Guitar'.

The band is working on their 13th studio album, with singles expected to be released in late 2026 or early 2027, ahead of their upcoming tour.

Their influence extends beyond nostalgia, as their music remains popular in modern media and among new generations, symbolizing the lasting power of their stadium anthems.

In fall 2025, Mercury Studios will release 'Def Leppard Diamond Star Heroes Live From Sheffield' on multiple formats, including Blu-ray, CD, 4K UHD, and vinyl, scheduled for November 21.

In 2026, they will perform a series of UK and European concerts, including shows at The O2 in London and Utilita Arena in Sheffield, with special guests Extreme, and will also have a residency at The Colosseum in Las Vegas starting February.
