When Def Leppard performs in Alabama, fans typically come out in force. This year should be no exception, when the iconic glam-metal band returns to Birmingham for a show at the Coca-Cola Amphitheater.

Def Leppard —with the now-classic lineup of Joe Elliott, Phil Collen, Rick Allen, Rick Savage and Vivian Campbell — is set to perform at the new amphitheater on June 25. As a bonus, Bret Michaels will be the opening act. Michaels, who earned fame in the ‘80s and ’90s as the frontman of Poison, is another favorite in Alabama, with many fans throughout the state.

Tickets for the 8 p.m. show in Birmingham go on sale Friday, March 21, at 10 a.m. CT via Live Nation/Ticketmaster, after a round of pre-sales. Prices are $78.50, $118.50, $158.50 and $188.50, according to promoter Live Nation.

Pre-sales start on Tuesday, March 18, at 10 a.m. CT and end on Thursday, March 20, at 10 p.m. CT, according to the ticket listing.

Def Leppard, formed in Sheffield, England, “ignited the 1980s reign of metal,” according to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame website. The hard-rocking band, inducted into the Rock Hall in 2019, has many hits and signature songs to its credit, and fans relish hearing those tunes in concert.

During a 2015 appearance at Oak Mountain Amphitheatre in Pelham, for example, Def Leppard’s setlist included “Animal,” “Hysteria,” “Pour Some Sugar on Me,” “Rocket,” “Let’s Get Rocked,” “Let it Go,” “Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop),” “Bringin’ on the Heartbreak,” “Rock of Ages,” “Love Bites,” “Photograph,” “Foolin’” and “Armageddon It.”

“Familiarity, consistency and nostalgia are Def Leppard’s stock in trade these days, and the band delivered on all three counts,” AL.com’s review said. “If Def Leppard rocks your world, this show satisfied.”

Elliott also tossed in a teaser of “Sweet Home Alabama” on that occasion, playing the intro on acoustic guitar. “A brief sing-along ensued, with the audience providing most of the vocals,” AL.com said. “There was barely enough time for a lusty ‘Roll, Tide, roll!’ but Crimson Tide fans managed to sneak it in before Elliott switched gears.”

Over the years, Def Leppard has performed at venues such as the Legacy Arena at the BJCC, the former City Stages festival and Boutwell Auditorium in Birmingham. The list also includes the Mercedes-Benz Amphitheater in Tuscaloosa, The Wharf Amphitheater in Orange Beach and the Von Braun Center in Huntsville.

Michaels, 62, has appeared in the state several times in the past, both with Poison and as a solo artist. The charismatic singer, known for his energetic stage presence and ever-present bandanna, has a long hit list to mine, as well. Crowd pleasers on his setlists typically include Poison’s “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” “Something to Believe In,” “Nothin’ But a Good Time,” “Talk Dirty to Me” and more.

Def Leppard’s concert in Birmingham is a new addition to the lineup for the Coca-Cola Amphitheater, a $46 million concert venue that’s currently under construction.

The Coca-Cola Amphitheater should be ready for the public in June, according to organizers. The 9,380-seat amphitheater — owned by the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex and managed by Live Nation — has confirmed 23 concerts for 2025 thus far, ranging from comedian Matt Rife (June 22) to country star Jason Aldean (Sept. 26).

Shows by James Taylor, Pantera, the Alabama Shakes, Rod Stewart, Jason Isbell, Nelly, Luke Bryan, Dave Matthews Band and Hardy are on the agenda, as well.
