An iconic 1980s rock band took the stage on Thursday, June 19, at Summerfest 2025 in Milwaukee, and fans old and young alike were blown away by how great they sound four decades later.
, the British rock band behind such hits as "Photograph," "Rock of Ages," "Foolin'", "Pour Some Sugar on Me," "Hysteria," "Armageddon It" and "Love Bites," took the stage at Summerfest on Thursday night and TikTok exploded with all the videos from the legendary concert of all their greatest a video posted by the official Summerfest account, lead singer Joe Elliott yells to the audience, "It's good to be here again, it's been a while. It's good to make your acquaintance one more time," before launching into their 1992 hit "Let's Get Rocked."
On the below video of them performing "Love Bites," one fan writes, "Def Leppard #1 💕💕💕 You are the Best 💕💕💕 I love you too eternity 💕💕💕💕💕💕."
On another video of the iconic song "Hysteria," one fan writes, "Thank you for sharing 🦋🌹," and another simple dubs it "amazing."
Indeed, the band can still absolutely rock out, and it sounds like lead singer Elliott hasn't lost a single step with his vocals. And of course, their drummer, Rick Allen, who famously lost his left arm in a car accident in 1985, is still wailing on the old skins, as you can see in this video of his incredible drum solo during the concert.
There are other great videos — here are two videos of the song "Photograph" from different angles, here is one of the iconic "Pour Some Sugar on Me," here is one of "Rock of Ages," and here is one of their power ballad "Foolin'."
It looks like they put on one heck of a show.
