Amul India celebrates Def Leppard India tour
New Delhi, March 28
Rock fans across India are witnessing a landmark moment as Def Leppard embarks on its first-ever full-scale headline tour of the country in March 2026, marking a long-awaited return after a previously cancelled visit in 2008.
The iconic British band is currently performing across three major Indian cities, with each stop drawing large crowds and enthusiastic fan response.
Adding a distinctly Indian flavour to the tour, Amul India marked the occasion by releasing a special topical creative dedicated to the Def Leppard India Tour 2026.
"Amul Topical: English rock band Def Leppard tours India," Amul India wrote in the caption.
The tour has been described by fans as a full-circle moment, given the band's decades-long popularity in India despite never having completed a proper tour before.
The Mumbai leg of the tour concluded on March 27 to considerable fanfare. Several well-known faces, including actor Preity Zinta and Dino Morea, were spotted attending the concert. Earlier the band had performed in Shillong, with the third leg commencing in Bengaluru.
Audiences at the shows have been treated to some of Def Leppard's most enduring hits. The setlist features classic anthems such as "Pour Some Sugar on Me," "Hysteria," "Photograph," and "Rock of Ages," songs that have defined the band's global legacy and continue to resonate with multiple generations of listeners.

Saw them in Mumbai! The energy was electric. "Pour Some Sugar on Me" with thousands singing along... unforgettable. My parents listened to them, now I do. Truly a band for all ages. Glad they included Shillong too, the rock capital of India!
While it's great to see such concerts, the ticket prices were through the roof. Makes it an event only for the elite in metros. Wish more cities were covered and prices were more accessible for the average fan.
The Amul ad is the best part for me! It's so clever how they capture current events. Def Leppard must have been thrilled to get the "Amul treatment". Hope this encourages more legendary bands to tour India.
My father had their cassettes. I grew up on these songs. Seeing them live in Bengaluru with him was emotional. This tour proves India's concert scene is truly world-class now. Jai Ho, Def Leppard! 🤘
As an expat living here, it's amazing to see the universal language of rock music. The crowd knew every word. The blend of Western rock and Indian fan enthusiasm (and Amul butter!) is something special.
