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

The show took place at the 22,000 capacity FargoDome.

The final show on leg 2 of the tour.

The band last played Fargo on 21st October 2006 on the YEAH! Tour.

The sixth show the band have played in Fargo (or West Fargo) and third time at this venue.

The first visit was in August 1983 in West Fargo on the Pyromania tour at the Red River Valley Fair. A show which featured a partial stage roof collapse.

They would not return until ten years later in August 1993 for their first show at the FargoDome on the Adrenalize tour when they were also honoured as part of the local Walk Of Fame.

The Fargo Civic Memorial Auditorium was then played in July 1999 on the Euphoria tour.

A return to the Red River Valley Fair in West Fargo on the X/Ten tour in June 2003.

Like the 1983 show at the same event this show suffered from bad weather conditions and had to be stopped after just 12 songs.

The FargoDome was played for a second time in October 2006 during the first tour with Journey for the YEAH! album.

One of the less well attended shows on that tour with the capacity set at 11,772 and only 7,887 showing up according to Billboard.

Setlist

'When Love & Hate Collide' and 'Man Enough' were played for the first time in Fargo.
