Def Leppard hope to have new music out before their February residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
Singer Joe Elliott, in an interview with online radio Planet Rock, said, “We’re working through a new album right now, which won’t be out next year, but we may – and probably will – release a new song in time for Vegas and then release another one again for the British tour [in the summer]. That’s the plan that we have right now.
“So, we’re gonna kind of drip feed songs from the album and then it’ll come out late ’26, early ’27 maybe. Hopefully. So, it gives us a great opportunity to do that.”
Def Leppard’s latest song, a cover of Ben E. King‘s “Stand by Me,” was released in February to benefit FireAid.
Their last album was 2022’s Diamond Star Halos, and they also released another standalone song last year, “Just Like ’73” featuring Tom Morello on guitar.
Def Leppard performed in Writtle, England Sunday, and next up is a one-off show in Gary, Indiana on October 11th before the 12 shows in Vegas starting on February 3rd.
