Breaking News: The Time Has Arrived — Legendary Rock Band Led Zeppelin Announces Their Final 2025 North American Tour Across Six Cities Today
June 5, 2025 — In a moment that has stunned and thrilled music fans across the world, legendary rock band Led Zeppelin has officially announced their Final North American Tour, set to take place in 2025. The news broke earlier today via a surprise livestream from Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones—three of the band’s original surviving members—who appeared together to confirm the long-rumored farewell.
The six-city tour, dubbed “Stairway to Eternity,” will be Led Zeppelin’s first major North American trek in over a decade, and the band insists it will be their last. The announcement has ignited a wave of nostalgia and celebration across the rock community, as fans clamor for what could be their final chance to witness the gods of rock perform live.
Six Cities, Six Epic Nights
The “Stairway to Eternity” tour will hit six major cities across the United States and Canada. The dates and locations are as follows:
July 15 – New York City, NY – Madison Square Garden
July 22 – Toronto, ON – Rogers Centre
July 29 – Chicago, IL – Soldier Field
August 5 – Los Angeles, CA – SoFi Stadium
August 12 – Dallas, TX – AT&T Stadium
August 19 – San Francisco, CA – Oracle Park
Each performance will be a stadium-scale event, with promises of immersive visuals, rare live renditions of classic tracks, and potential guest appearances from some of today’s top rock musicians.
A Reunion Years in the Making
Led Zeppelin disbanded in 1980 following the tragic death of drummer John Bonham. Since then, full-scale reunions have been extremely rare, with only a handful of performances in the decades that followed—including the now-legendary 2007 O2 Arena show in London, which was released as the concert film Celebration Day.
Rumors of another reunion have swirled for years, but nothing materialized—until now.
“This isn’t just about playing music. It’s about legacy, it’s about family, and it’s about saying goodbye the right way,” said Robert Plant during the livestream announcement. “We’ve had our time apart. Now it’s time to give something back to the fans, one last time.”
Jimmy Page, who turns 81 this year, hinted that the performances would include deeper cuts alongside the band’s anthemic staples. “Expect surprises. We’re digging into the vault. This tour is a tribute to everything Led Zeppelin ever stood for.”
The Return of the Bonham Legacy
To the delight of fans, Jason Bonham, son of the late John Bonham, will once again sit behind the drums for the tour. Having performed with the band during the 2007 reunion show, Jason is widely considered the natural heir to his father’s thunderous style.
“It’s an honor beyond words,” Jason said via a press release. “My dad’s spirit will be with us on every stage.”
Tickets and Global Demand
Tickets for the six shows will go on sale starting Friday, June 14 at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster and select authorized retailers. Given the band’s iconic status and the limited number of shows, fans are advised to prepare for a high-demand, potentially record-breaking scramble for tickets.
According to insiders, pre-sale registrations have already crossed the 2 million mark—just hours after the announcement. VIP packages, special edition merchandise, and exclusive tour memorabilia are also expected to accompany the tour rollout.
A Farewell to a Golden Era
For many, Led Zeppelin’s announcement represents the closing of a monumental chapter in rock history. With over 300 million albums sold worldwide and a genre-defining legacy spanning decades, their final bow will be one of the most significant cultural events of 2025.
From Whole Lotta Love and Black Dog to Kashmir and the timeless Stairway to Heaven, the band’s catalogue remains as potent and influential as ever. This final tour offers fans a last opportunity to experience the magic of Led Zeppelin—not as a memory or a streaming recording, but alive, loud, and electrifying.
As Robert Plant poetically concluded during today’s announcement:
“This isn’t the end of the song. It’s the final note of a magnificent symphony. Let’s make it thunder.”
Stay tuned for more updates, behind-the-scenes features, and exclusive interviews as the “Stairway to Eternity” tour approaches. One thing is certain: history is about to be made—one final time.
