Your favorite group from the ’80s is teaming up with your favorite group from the ’90s for a “Rock Show of Ages.”
From March through July 2027, Def Leppard will co-headline with The Goo Goo Dolls at arenas all over North America on their nationwide tour with special guest The Struts.
That includes a pair of gigs in New Jersey and New York. They’re slated to take place at:
Prudential Center
Newark, NJ
Saturday, March 13, 2027
Madison Square Garden
New York, NY
Wednesday, June 23, 2027
If you’d like to see the hitmakers live, tickets are available for all 45 upcoming concerts.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on seats for any one show was $101 including fees on Vivid Seats (that’s for the MSG show).
Tickets start at $127 including fees for the Prudential gig.
“[We’ll be] taking over North America next Spring with a night of non-stop hits,” Def Leppard shared on Instagram.
They’re not lying either.
The Rock Hall of Famers typically perform smash singles “Pour Some Sugar On Me,” “Hysteria,” “Photograph,” “Love Bites” and, of course, “Rock of Ages” at all shows, according to Set List FM.
More importantly, Joe Elliott and co. still have the goods.
Metal Talk attended a July concert of theirs in London and raved “if there were a university degree in playing arena shows, these guys would be tenured professors. And…despite playing so many absolute bangers over the course of almost two hours, they have so many more of those left out that you will inevitably [say]: ‘I would have also liked X and Y songs.'”
Notable tracks that often make the cut at Goo Goo Dolls concerts include fan favorites “Iris,” “Slide,” “Name,” “Black Balloon” and “Broadway” among others.
Can’t wait to “Pour Some Sugar” on “Iris”?

Who are The Struts?
The British rockers formed in Derby, United Kingdom in 2010 and have been delivering crowd-pleasing, high-energy glam rock ever since.
Just a few of our favorite tracks of theirs include the hard-charging “Could Have Been Me,” groovy, slinky “Body Talks” and charming, summery bop “Kiss This.”
To hear for yourself, you can find The Struts’ complete discography here.
Def Leppard new music
This year, Def Leppard have released a handful of singles.
Up first was the searing stadium anthem “Rejoice,” which is big, bold arena rock at its brashest and most in your face. Soaring guitars, pitch-perfect harmonies and a singalong chorus all make for an excellent throwback jam that fits right into the group’s catalog.
Then, more recently, the Rock Hall of Famers dropped faithful — if bombast-ified — covers of The Beatles’ catchy “Revolution” and David Bowie’s transcendent “Heroes.”
Goo Goo Dolls new music
In 2026, The Goo Goo Dolls rolled out just one new song.
“Postcards from Paradise” sounds like a lost B-Side from the group’s ’90s output. Plucky guitar, evocative lyrics and a fist-pumping refrain — “you send me postcards from paradise” — make for a winning listen.
Huge ’80s stars on tour in 2026-27
If you’re still stuck in the 20th century, you’re not alone.
After a bit of parsing the web, we found that many of the biggest names from rock and roll’s heyday are striking out yet again in ’26. Here are just five of our favorites you won’t want to miss live when they take their hits to the people.
• Bon Jovi
• RUSH
• Sting
Also, Stevie Wonder is striking out on a brief tour celebrating the 50th anniversary of his seminal 1976 album “Songs in the Key of Life.” Don’t miss out- we have a feeling those shows will be special.
