Def Leppard and Mötley Crüe Announce Epic Final Joint Tour – Dates and Cities Revealed…
In a move that will electrify rock fans across the globe, legendary rock titans Def Leppard and Mötley Crüe have officially announced their final joint tour, marking the end of a powerful era in heavy rock and glam metal history. Aptly titled “The Final Roar”, the tour is set to be a thunderous celebration of decades of riffs, rebellion, and rock ‘n’ roll, kicking off in early 2026.
The End of an Era
After decades of conquering arenas and headlining global festivals, both bands are ready to close the chapter on touring life — together. Their chemistry on and off stage, cemented during their massively successful 2022-2023 “Stadium Tour,” made fans and critics alike beg for more. Now, in what promises to be a legendary send-off, Def Leppard and Mötley Crüe are preparing one last ride, promising the biggest production, loudest performances, and most emotionally charged setlists of their careers.
Joe Elliott, frontman of Def Leppard, shared his excitement:
“This is the tour we wanted to give our fans before we hang it up for good. We’re going out with a bang, not a whisper.”
Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe echoed the sentiment:
“We’ve been through it all together — highs, lows, madness and magic. This is our final roar, and we want to give fans a tour they’ll remember forever.”

Supporting acts for select dates will include Poison, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, and rising rock newcomers Classless Act, who previously joined the bands in earlier tours.
Legacy in Rock History
Both bands have solidified their place in the rock pantheon. Def Leppard, known for their melodic hard rock and multi-platinum albums like Pyromania and Hysteria, were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2019. Mötley Crüe, infamous for their decadent lifestyle and explosive stage shows, are equally revered for their raw energy and influence on the glam metal movement.
This final tour is not just a farewell — it’s a tribute to the fans who stood by through decades of music, mayhem, and magic. It’s the last chance to witness the undeniable power of two of rock’s greatest forces.
