The Wait is Over: Led Zeppelin Announces ‘The Led Zeppelin Legacy Tour 2025’
In an announcement that has sent shockwaves through the music world, Led Zeppelin, the legendary rock band that redefined the genre, has confirmed their highly anticipated reunion tour, aptly titled ‘The Led Zeppelin Legacy Tour 2025.’ The tour is set to kick off on June 10, 2025, at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium, marking the beginning of a series of performances that promise to be unforgettable celebrations of the band’s iconic hits.
A Historic Reunion
The forthcoming tour marks the first extensive series of performances by the original lineup since their 2007 reunion at London’s O2 Arena. That one-off concert left fans yearning for more, but it wasn’t until December 2024 that the band addressed the possibility of future tours. Guitarist Jimmy Page remarked, “At the time of the O2, myself, John Paul Jones, and Jason Bonham thought there was going to be… it was said that there were gonna be some more dates. It didn’t come off.” He further added, “It seems really unlikely that there would be a tour in the future.”
However, in December 2024, the trio announced a special one-time performance to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their seminal album ‘Physical Graffiti.’ This event, held at London’s Wembley Stadium, featured Page, Plant, and Jones, with Jason Bonham filling in on drums. The success of this performance reignited discussions about a full tour, leading to the announcement of ‘The Led Zeppelin Legacy Tour 2025.’
