DEF LEPPARD Live In Craven, SK 2025 (Show Report/Setlist)
Screenshots
Def Leppard played a 2025 tour show last night in Craven, SK with 18 songs performed.
The show took place at the 23,500 capacity Country Thunder Saskatchewan Campground.
Part of the four day Country Thunder Saskatchewan music festival.
The first show in this village.
First Time In Craven
The Canadian trek continued moving from Alberta over to Saskatchewan.
And from Rockin' Thunder to Country Thunder at the Country Thunder Saskatchewan Campground.
The final night of the four day Country Thunder Saskatchewan Music Festival.
A first visit to this village located around 20 miles to the North West of the city of Regina, SK.
As of 2021 Craven has a population of only 266, even less than Thackerville, OK played back in June.
The show taking place on the big stage within the Festival Bowl area.
A scene not unlike the many State Fairs played in the USA with the show played within an oval and a grandstand at the back.
The band's first time in Saskatchewan since playing in Saskatoon in July 2019.
And for the first time playing a Country Festival.
Support Bands
Three Canadian artists started this event at around 3pm with Hailey Benedict kicking things off.
She was followed by two more acts from Canada in Owen Riegling and The Road Hammers.
The Road Hammers were interviewed backstage and said how they had also opened for the Scorpions before so playing before DL was not strange for them.
And then the only American artist on the bill Kip Moore played from 7:30pm.
Toque, who played the last two shows, were also here but played in the Beer Garden venue and not on the main stage.
Cowboy Phil From Walthamstow
9:30pm came along and the festival shared a pic of the Pyro Clock showing they arrived on stage on time as darkness descended in Craven.
They followed this up with almost one minute of footage of Rock! Rock!.
Sadly outside of one media photo posted by a radio station not much showed up as they played.
Now after it all ended enough has been posted to show that another great concert took place on the 2025 tour.
Despite the odd looking line-up on paper.
Joe thanking the crowd at the end and noting that this was "our first ever country festival" followed by "what a vibe" and "just beautiful".
And doing so while he and Phil both accepted cowboy hats thrown on stage.
Phil wearing his longer than Joe which is his first time doing so since San Antonio, Texas in 2024.
As captured on stage by the band's trusty videographer Ryan and sure to make the cut of an upcoming Behind The Scenes episode on YouTube.
Hopefully some fan footage will show up on YT at some point too! - none as yet.
But as you can see below Facebook fans came good after the show and have shared a decent amount of footage.
Enough to confirm Joe's words that his was a great show played with good vibes and good humour.
Def Leppard fully accepted by this country crowd which in fairness probably contained quite a few long time Def Leppard fans.
View some great footage below which includes PSSOM, Hysteria, Animal, Armageddon It, and the end speech with cowboy hats moment (Yee haw!).
And next up they head back East into Ontario and get two days off which, according to Rick at least, is much needed.
Moving from Country to Blues at the Bluesfest - not their first as they played the Skanevik Blues Festival in Norway in July 2013.
18 Song Setlist
An 18 song setlist was played.
'Just Like '73' and all other songs played here for the first time.
Craven/Regina History
No history for Craven but Regina, SK was first played in July 1983 on the Pyromania tour at Agridome.
In fact 14th July 1983 - 42 years ago to this very day.
After a long 20 year wait they returned to the Agridome in September 2003 on the X tour.
The last visit to Regina was in April 2015 at Brandt Centre.
Most of the shows in this province have been played in Saskatoon.
Last night's show was the first performance in Craven.
The next Def Leppard show takes place in Ottawa, ON on 16th July.
