Jimmy Page Announces Epic North American Tour on Behalf of Led Zeppelin.
In a historic moment that has sent shockwaves through the music world, legendary guitarist Jimmy Page has officially announced a powerful North American tour on behalf of the iconic rock band, Led Zeppelin. After decades of speculation, hints, and longing from millions of fans, the announcement confirms what many had only dreamed of: the return of one of the greatest rock bands in history to the live stage.
Speaking from a press event held in London, Page stood before a backdrop bearing the familiar symbols from Led Zeppelin IV and made the long-awaited declaration: “It’s time. The music lives on, and we’re ready to bring it back to the stage in a way that honors the legacy we built and the fans who have stood by us all these years.”
The tour, titled “Stairway to Eternity”, is slated to kick off in early 2026, spanning major cities across the U.S. and Canada, including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Toronto, Vancouver, and more. The setlist is expected to include a mix of their timeless classics—“Whole Lotta Love,” “Black Dog,” “Kashmir,” and of course, “Stairway to Heaven”—alongside a few deep cuts that haven’t been performed live in decades.
While original drummer John Bonham tragically passed away in 1980, his son, Jason Bonham, will once again take his place behind the kit. Jason previously performed with the surviving members during the 2007 one-night reunion at the O2 Arena in London, which was hailed as a triumphant return. Robert Plant, who has often been reluctant to revisit Zeppelin’s catalog in full-scale tours, is said to be more committed than ever to this project, having worked closely with Page in recent months to reimagine the band’s sound for modern audiences without compromising its raw power and spirit.
Bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones has also confirmed his participation, noting in a statement, “The chemistry is still there. It’s different, of course, but the energy, the connection—it’s real. We want to honor our roots, but we’re not just reliving the past. We’re bringing Led Zeppelin into the now.”
The announcement has already triggered a frenzy online, with pre-sale tickets crashing servers and social media flooded with emotional reactions. Promoters anticipate the tour will break attendance records and introduce a whole new generation to the magic of Zeppelin’s legendary live performances.
For longtime fans, the return of Led Zeppelin is more than a concert—it’s a resurrection of a band that helped shape rock music as we know it. For newer audiences, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the thunderous riffs, haunting melodies, and electrifying stage presence that made Led Zeppelin immortal.
As Jimmy Page closed the announcement, his message was simple but powerful: “The hammer of the gods will once again pound the road. We’ll see you out there.”
