Def Leppard have announced a new Las Vegas residency, kicking off August 14 at the Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. Dubbed “Def Leppard Hits Vegas: The Sin City Residency,” the run will be the band’s second stint in the city.

Said Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott, “Five years ago, we played our first-ever residency in Las Vegas which was relatively new ground for a rock band giving this kind of experience...I have to say, we really enjoyed it! Being in one place for the best part of a month is vastly different to our normal city to city touring routine. Breaking this cycle adds another element to the experience for both us and the audience. We look forward to seeing you at the Zappos Theater this summer!”
