Def Leppard played another show with Journey on the 2018 North American tour last night in Columbus, OH with 16 songs performed.

The show took place at the 10,500 capacity Value City Arena at Schottenstein Center.

The band last played Columbus on 14th October 2015 on the World Tour 2015.

The 12th show the band have played in Columbus and third time at this venue.

The first visit was in September 1981 at the Franklin County Veterans Memorial Auditorium with Blackfoot.

They returned in June 1983 on the Pyromania tour at Ohio Center.

Ten years later an outdoor show took place at Cooper Stadium in August 1993 during the Adrenalize tour.

A Slang tour show then took place in July 1996 at Polaris Amphitheatre.

They returned to the same venue in July 2000 on the Euphoria tour.

The Vale City Arena was then first played in June 2003 on the X/Ten tour followed the next night by a free show at Nationwide Arena for Honda employees.

That arena was played again in October 2005 on the Rock Of Ages tour with Cheap Trick and Ricky Warwick.

The Germain Amphitheater was played in September 2006 with Journey on the YEAH! tour.

Germain Amphitheater was played for a second time in July 2007 during the Downstage Thrust tour.

They returned to Value City Arena for the last show here in October 2015.

As you can see from one of the social posts below unfortunately one fan was hit by a car as they left the show.
