Special holiday pricing will soon be available for tickets to see Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Def Leppard, who will bring their legendary live show to the Illinois State Fair Grandstand on Saturday, August 16, 2025. Tickets, which go on sale November 16, are discounted through December 31, with prices ranging from $85 to $165.
With over 110 million albums sold, two prestigious U.S. Diamond Awards, and a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame® induction, Def Leppard—Joe Elliott (vocals), Phil Collen (guitar), Rick Savage (bass), Vivian Campbell (guitar), and Rick Allen (drums)—are hailed as one of the greatest live rock bands of all time. Known for groundbreaking albums "Pyromania” and "Hysteria,” and an arsenal of hits like "Rock of Ages," "Pour Some Sugar on Me," and "Foolin’," they bring unmatched energy and showmanship to the stage.
"Our team has worked hard to elevate the quality of musical acts at the Grandstand during the Illinois State Fair,” said Illinois Department of Agriculture Director Jerry Costello II. "Def Leppard has a core memory tied to every one of their songs. For me, it’s "Photograph.” I’m looking forward to taking it all in at the Illinois State Fair.”
Holiday ticket prices are valid through December 31, with SRO Track and Tier 1 ticket prices increasing by $10 on January 1. The Illinois State Fair runs August 7-17, 2025, in Springfield.
