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

The show took place at the 41,268 capacity Wrigley Field baseball stadium.

The fourth of ten stadium shows with support from The Pretenders.

The band last played Chicago on 24th June 2017 on the Summer Tour 2017.

The 26th show the band have played in this city (Chicago or Rosemont) and the first time at this venue.

The first visit here took place in June 1980 at Rosemont Horizon as support to Ted Nugent on their very first US tour.

A further two shows were played in July 1980 at Aragon Ballroom with Scorpions.

The first arena show took place in April 1983 as support to Billy Squier.

A run of five In The Round shows followed in 1987 (x1), 1988 (x2) and 1992 (x2) at Rosemont Horizon during the Hysteria and Adrenalize tours.

The Adrenalize tour also saw the first show at this venue in August 1993.

Last year's show was the tenth time playing at Tinley Park.
