DEF LEPPARD Cancel August Live 2026 Tour Show In DUBAI
Def Leppard have now cancelled their scheduled show in Dubai on the Live 2026 tour.
One less show to be played this summer.
Dubai Show Cancelled
The Live 2026 tour dates were first announced in September 2025 and featured their first major UK arena tour shows since December 2018.
Alongside other dates in Europe there was also a third planned visit to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The show would have seen them play a new venue in the Coca-Cola Arena which has a maximum capacity of up to 17,000 fans.
The largest arena of its kind in the Middle East.
As of yesterday the show was still listed on the venue website but has now been removed.
The show page now redirects to the venue homepage and it has been removed from ticket sites.
Curiously the venue's Instagram page does not mention the cancellation.
Despite recent events in the region the concert still seemed likely to happen with many others still taking pace at the venue.
A show by Richard Marx for October is still listed along with three events taking place this month.
This is the third such cancellation on recent tours after Florida (January 2025) and Mexico (December 2025).
Both festival shows which were both removed from the schedule without explanation.
