Def Leppard kicked off the year with a performance in Leon, Mexico, where they played a memorable show in January. During that performance, band guitar tech John Zocco filled in for Vivian Campbell, who was recovering from ongoing cancer treatment and was expected to take a few months off to recuperate fully.

Motley Crue’s participation in this festival follows their rescheduled residency in Las Vegas, which was postponed by six months from March to September. The band announced that frontman Vince Neil required additional time to recover from an unspecified medical procedure before returning to the stage at Dolby Live at Park MGM, ensuring he is fully ready to deliver an outstanding performance.

Additionally, Extreme has teamed up with Def Leppard for a highly anticipated summer tour in 2025. These exciting tour dates are set to kick off in May and will continue through August, providing fans with even more opportunities to enjoy their favorite rock music live.
