DEF LEPPARD Live In Highland, CA 2025 (Show Report/Setlist)
Screenshots
Def Leppard played a 2025 tour show last night in Highland, CA with 18 songs performed.
The show took place at the 3,000 capacity Yaamava' Theater.
Another show in a casino based theater.
The first visit to this city.
First Time In Highland
And welcome to the "Yaamava' Theater @ Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel".
A short trip from the last show in Pasadena for the America's Got Talent taping.
And for Rick and Phil a very short trip from their own homes for the last show (at least for a while) in California.
A return to a small indoor theatre venue and part of another casino complex.
Like some played before, based on a Native American reservation, and actually not in Highland (a close city) or San Bernardino (a bigger city further away).
Joe decided they were in Yaamava (but we'll stick with Highland from the show poster/ticket listings).
The first show ever at this venue was all set to happen but not before another event on the same night.
America's Got Talent/PSSOM Video
Yes, as recorded on the 18th in Pasadena, CA, the band's performance of 'PSSOM' was broadcast on NBC in the run up to show time.
And later posted to YouTube (and Facebook, just in time to be included in the Live Updates.)
Updates that thankfully featured lots of video and photos and not the almost complete silence of some indoor shows on this tour.
Yaamava Gets Rocked!
Like the previously 8pm scheduled shows this one got going at around 8:15pm.
Joe decided to greet the crowd with "Good evening Yaamava!" before 'Let's Get Rocked'.
And "get rocked" they did with another one hour and 40 minutes or so of high energy rock.
Everyone getting a great view in this small theatre.
Like Springfield basically the full show with the big screen and this time two big side screens plus use of extra lights inside the theatre.
Joe remarking that he liked the place and "we should do this again one day" before the acoustic section began.
With Sav still getting his outfit ready as he was introduced by Joe.
And, as seen on TV, sporting his new haircut.
The full show video has been posted and shows you that another great night occurred in California as many were also watching another great TV performance get broadcast elsewhere from two nights before in the same state.
A very loud crowd and the band rocking away with 'just Like '73', 'Let It Go' and 'Die Hard The Hunter' as the usual mid show 'rock' highlights.
And when they were done pouring more sugar in California Joe thanked everyone from "wherever" they were from.
Not many shows left to play now on this Summer Tour 2025 in the USA, three in fact.
Up next a few more extra days off before the band head off east and back to another State Fair Grandstand.
18 Song Setlist
An 18 song setlist was played.
'Just Like '73' and all other songs were played here for the first time.
Highland History
No history for Highland, CA.
The first visit to nearby San Bernardino, CA took place in July 1993 on the ADrenalize tour at Blockbuster Pavilion.
A June 2005 show then took place on the Rock Of Ages tour with Bryan Adams at Arrowhead Credit Union Park.
They returned to Blockbuster Pavilion in October 2006 on the YEAH! tour with Journey.
The last visit to San Bernardino/Devore was in September 2009 with a third show at San Manuel Amphitheater (formerly Blockbuster Pavilion).
Last night's show was the first performance in Highland/Yaamava.
The next Def Leppard show takes place in St. Paul, MN on 26th August with the band at another State Fair.
