Def Leppard Goo Goo Dolls & The Struts

Def Leppard Goo Goo Dolls & The Struts at T-Mobile Center

Def Leppard and Goo Goo Dolls share a Kansas City bill at T-Mobile Center, with The Struts joining as special guests. It's a meeting of two established melodic-rock identities: Def Leppard's hard-rock drive and Goo Goo Dolls' alternative-rock pull give fans more than one reason to care about the night.

Joe Elliott fronts Def Leppard, whose melodic hard-rock sound earned a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2019. That's a career marker, but the Kansas City appeal is more immediate: a band whose guitar-driven style has given listeners years of music to connect with, sharing this bill with a very different rock voice.

Goo Goo Dolls bring a different energy—alternative melodies, emotional depth, the kind of rock that balances power with introspection. Hearing them alongside Def Leppard gives fans of either band a chance to enjoy the contrast without treating one sound as a substitute for the other.

The Struts add a third announced rock act to the lineup, bringing another band into the mix for listeners ready to explore beyond the two headliners. The three-act bill makes this a broader guitar-music outing, with room for more than one favorite.

If you've followed either Def Leppard or Goo Goo Dolls through the years, this is your chance to see them both without waiting for separate tours. See all three acts on April 26 at T-Mobile Center—get tickets for the full guitar-rock bill.
