Led Zeppelin Announces First Official Reunion in Over 15 Years: Global Tour and New Live Album Confirmed*
In what many are calling the most shocking rock announcement of the decade, Led Zeppelin has officially confirmed their first reunion since 2007. The legendary band will embark on a limited global tour in 2025 and release a new live album titled Led Zeppelin: Live Reignited this fall.
The news broke Monday morning through a joint statement released by Atlantic Records and confirmed by Rolling Stone. “The time felt right,” said guitarist Jimmy Page. “We’ve been sitting on hours of material. And when we played together recently, it just clicked.” The reunion will feature original members Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones, with Jason Bonham stepping in once again to honor his late father on drums.
The upcoming tour—titled The Reignited Tour—is expected to hit 10 major cities across North America, Europe, and Asia, starting in London in September and wrapping in Los Angeles by December. Specific dates and venues will be announced later this month. A pre-sale for official fan club members begins May 20.
What’s even more exciting is the live album that’s been in the works for over a year. Led Zeppelin: Live Reignited is a curated selection of remastered performances from the band’s legendary 1973 and 1975 tours, including never-before-released tracks. According to NME, the album will be available on vinyl, CD, and all major streaming platforms on October 4.
For years, fans have speculated about a full reunion. While individual members have occasionally worked on Zeppelin-related projects, Robert Plant had long resisted the idea of a full-scale tour. In a surprising turn, Plant told BBC Radio 6, “Things change. There’s a window now, and we’re all feeling inspired. It’s not about nostalgia—it’s about energy.”
The buzz across social media has been electric. Within hours of the announcement, hashtags like #LedZeppelinReignited and #ZepReturns began trending worldwide. Prominent musicians, including Dave Grohl and Jack White, publicly celebrated the news, calling it “historic” and “a dream come true.”
Fans can expect a full press conference next week where the band will answer questions and reveal more about the tour, setlist, and surprises. While skeptics may wonder how long the reunion will last, the band has made one thing clear: this isn’t a one-off. “We want to play. We want to give fans something real,” said John Paul Jones.
If you’ve waited decades to hear “Kashmir” live again, this may be your once-in-a-lifetime chance.
