Written by megarock on January 19, 2025
eteran British rockers DEF LEPPARD played their first concert of 2025 last night (Saturday, January 18) at Feria Estatal De León in León, Mexico. As was the case with the band’s October 14, 2024 private show in Nashville (as part of the Daimler Truck Customer Appreciation Event),guitarist Vivian Campbell was unable to join his bandmates at the León gig and was replaced by John Zocco, who is Phil Collen‘s guitar tech.
Prior to launching into the song “Foolin'”, which was the fourth song of DEF LEPPARD‘s set in León, DEF LEPPARD singer Joe Elliott told the crowd that Campbell had to miss the performance because “he’s just recovering from some treatment for his cancer.” Joe added: “Please say hello to the guy that’s standing in for tonight, Mr. John Zocco.”
The setlist for the León concert was as follows:
01. Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop)
