Various 2023 Band Headlining Set Times vs Def Leppard
Def Leppard 90m
Guns n Roses 180m
Metallica 120m
Foo Fighters 120m
Will Def Leppard ever headline a stadium tour alone? No co-headlining tours.
Know of any Headlining bands Set Times to compare?

Iron Maiden tend to do 1 hour 45 minutes which is about perfect. GnR 3 hours is too long, set loses energy, then drags. 75 minutes too short for a band of Lepps history. Extra 15 minutes for Lepps would mean extra 3 deeper cuts which could be rotated, keep forum happy!
Leppards star has kept rising, coheadlining stadiums maybe their limit unless a gloried song like Sugar suddenly goes viral. Coheadlining stadiums not bad problem to have.

Leps are doing 90 mins, its still not enough for me. Maiden might play longer but play less songs due to the long ones they are throwing in. |

I meant Lepps should do 1 hour 45 minutes, not 1 hour 30 minutes.

Agree with this. Those extra 15 minutes probably would yield an extra 3 songs and a couple of those could be nice deeper cuts. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a pretty solid set as it is. But add in something like Let It Go, TLFL and Wasted and it really becomes fantastic. Of course I'd rather see a 2 1/2 hour set though! My daughter just say Taylor Swift recently and she played 40 songs in 3+ hours. Now a Def Leppard show like that would be something to see! I meant Lepps should do 1 hour 45 minutes, not 1 hour 30 minutes. |

The big problem is this tour is (I believe) seen as a festival style appearance and they won’t play much that’s deep outside the hits. Which makes it all very boring for people that go to more than one show. As much as I love seeing them I can’t see them ever getting too deep or doing longer shows outside of residencies or special one off gigs. But you’re right an extra 3 tracks would be chucking a bone to the die hards that are in the crowd. |

I don't think the time (90 min) is the main reason for not playing more hard rockers or epics.
15 extra minutes today could mean a longer acoustic section + Excitable and Slang.
