DEF LEPPARD Live 2026 Tour In Querétaro, Mexico (Show Report/Setlist)
Def Leppard played a Live 2026 tour show in Santiago de Querétaro, Mexico last night with 18 songs performed.
The show took place at the 31,000 plus capacity Infield @ Autódromo de Querétaro.
The band's first time at this venue.
Also the first time playing in this city and state.
Night Of The Legends In Querétaro, Mexico
After opening this tour leg in Florida the band and crew headed south and back to Mexico.
The city of Santiago de Querétaro which is in the state of Querétaro in central Mexico.
Known for its "Spanish colonial architecture" and a racetrack called Autódromo de Querétaro.
The venue for the show which was billed as Noche De Leyendas (Night Of The Legends) with two other acts added to the originally announced line-up of Def Leppard and Extreme.
One band from the 90s and a familiar name who has a connection to Vivian and appeared on the Adrenalize tour in 1992 as a special on stage guest.
Travelling over 3,000km to the west of the last show, the band were greeted by cold, UK-like, weather.
The venue had hosted a festival earlier this month called Pulso GNP 2026 with a line-up that included Robbie Williams and Travis as well as local acts.
The same stage structure was kept in place for this event.
Smash Mouth
The band from San Jose, California who formed in 1994 kicked off the show.
Their short set included their biggest hit "All Star" from 1999 which went 3 x Platinum in the UK and USA.
They also did a cover on 'I'm A Believer' by The Monkees which was also a hit for them in 2001.
Lou Gramm
Once lead singer of Foreigner Lou Gramm was up next with his solo band.
This showing coming a few days after the anniversary of the release of his 'Long Hard Look' solo album from 1989.
Which featured Vivian on guest guitar and led to him joining Lou in the band Shadow King in 1990 before joining Def Leppard in 1992.
Lou's set included many of Foreigners biggest hits like 'Waiting For A Girl Like You' and 'Feels Like The First Time'.
Extreme
Extreme rejoined the Live 2026 tour for the first time since Paris in July.
Their set included 'More Than Words' with its mass sing-a-long.
Windy Night In Querétaro
After the opening acts it was time for Def Leppard to headline the Noche De Leyendas (Night Of The Legends).
And help warm up the crowd in very cold conditions.
Unfortunately following the show from elsewhere was difficult with almost no posts made during the concert.
With a late start of 10:20pm would the band shorten the set or make any changes?.
It was hard to tell but more posts and videos since the show ended have revealed that 'When Love & Hate Collide' was cut from the encore section.
With the band returning to playing at altitude it seemed likely something might be cut but it may have been for time reasons or the late night show time.
This show started at 10:20pm local time and ended at just around midnight.
A packed venue with around 31,000 fans had waited in the cold to see the headliners close the night.
Joe referenced this being their first time in the city having been a band for 49 years just before 'Rock On'.
And acknowledged that they had braved the could windy weather to see the band.
Footage of 'Hysteria', 'Rock On' and 'Photograph' shows that this crowd were there to rock and make a lot of noise.
Adios Amigos!
At the end of PSSOM, as the crowd chanted 'Ole Ole Ole, Leppard Leppard', Joe informed them that:
"You guys have been amazing tonight." and "Let's do this again one day okay?.".
Suggesting a possible return in the future.
The first of three shows in Mexico got the Latin American section of this tour off to a great start.
Now the band travel back to the capital city of Mexico and one of their most enthusiastic crowds.
18 Song Setlist
'Rejoice' and all other songs were played here for the first time.
'RWhen Love & Hate Collide' was cut from the set.
