Road Work Highlights: Def Leppard, Goose, Madi Diaz & Mitch Rowland Tour News

Get the scoop on Def Leppard’s Vegas residency, Goose’s festive celebrations, Madi Diaz’s new album tour, and Mitch Rowland’s upcoming releases.

Def Leppard Returns for Third Vegas Residency

Def Leppard, the legendary U.K. rock band, is heading back to Las Vegas for their third residency, following their popular stints in 2013 and 2019. They’ll be rocking the Colosseum at Caesars Palace with 12 shows from February 3 through February 28, 2026. Tickets will be available to the public starting July 25.

Frontman Joe Elliott shares,

“Las Vegas has always been such a main attraction for Def Leppard. There’s no place on earth where you can have the likes of Adele, U2, and the Eagles all playing sold out shows on the same night. We’re really looking forward to coming back for our third Vegas residency and to do a run at the iconic Colosseum at Caesars Palace is such an honor given the giants that have blessed that stage.”

Def Leppard is also currently on a summer North American tour, with their next stop in Saratoga Springs, New York, happening tomorrow, July 22.

Goose Celebrates Goosemas & Upcoming Tour Dates

Jam band Goose is gearing up for their 12th annual Goosemas celebration happening December 12-13 at the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island. Fans can secure various upgraded ticket and travel packages right here.

They’re keeping busy on the road until the cold hits, including a performance this Friday at the Newport Folk Festival and a special opening spot for Dave Matthews Band on August 31 at the Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington State. Goose is also hosting their second Viva El Gonzo destination festival from May 7–9, 2026, in the stunning setting of San José del Cabo, Mexico.

Madi Diaz’s New Album ‘Fatal Optimist’ & Fall Tour

Singer-songwriter Madi Diaz is set to support her upcoming album Fatal Optimist with a North American tour kicking off October 11 in Nashville. The album, co-produced with Gabe Wax—known for his work with Zach Bryan—drops a day before the tour starts via ANTI-.

The lead single, “Feel Something”, is already out and gives a heartfelt glimpse into Diaz’s emotional journey. She says,

“‘Feel Something’ is about the deep yearning and desire to connect. It’s the moment when you’re trying to call in the love that was lost. It’s the first single off the album because it has the sense of urgency and panic that I felt at that first moment I noticed I was alone in my relationship.”

Before the album hits shelves, Madi will perform in locations like Maine, Alberta, and New York, including opening for Caamp on September 12 at the iconic Radio City Music Hall.

Mitch Rowland’s ‘Whistling Pie’ Release & Intimate Shows

Grammy-winning collaborator of Harry Styles, Mitch Rowland, is back with his sophomore album Whistling Pie, set for release on September 12 through Erskine Records/Giant Music. To celebrate, he’ll perform exclusive club shows in Los Angeles (September 13 at the Troubadour) and New York (September 15 at Baby’s All Right), followed by seven UK dates in late October. Tickets are available at mitchrowland.com.

Following the style of his 2023 debut Come June, Whistling Pie features 13 tracks produced by Rob Schnapf, famed for working with Elliott Smith and Beck. Interestingly, much of the album was recorded at Rockfield Studio in Wales, the same studio where Queen laid down the legendary “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
