In a stunning announcement that has electrified the music world, Led Zeppelin has officially confirmed a one-night-only reunion concert, set to take place in London in 2025, under the emotional banner “For the Spirit of Bonham.” This marks the first time the surviving members will share the stage in nearly two decades.
The concert is a tribute to John Bonham, the band’s iconic drummer, who passed away in 1980 and whose death marked the end of the band’s original run. In a brief joint statement, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones said:
“This is for Bonzo. For the spirit that never left us. One night, one memory, one heartbeat.”
Scheduled for October 19, 2025, the concert will take place at London’s Wembley Stadium, with a limited audience capacity of 90,000. Demand for tickets is expected to break records, with a global livestream also being arranged for fans worldwide.
Adding even more emotional weight to the event, Jason Bonham, John’s son and an accomplished drummer in his own right, will take his father’s place behind the kit. Jason previously performed with the band during the iconic 2007 O2 Arena reunion, which was hailed as one of the greatest rock performances of all time.
According to insiders close to the band, the setlist will feature career-spanning classics such as “Stairway to Heaven,” “Kashmir,” “Whole Lotta Love,” and “Rock and Roll.” Fans are hopeful for a few surprises and deeper cuts from their storied catalog.
Reactions across the industry have been immediate and intense. Rock legends, critics, and lifelong fans have taken to social media to express their excitement and emotional connection to the momentous announcement. Music journalist David Fricke tweeted, “This isn’t just a concert. It’s a resurrection.”
Ticket registration opens July 10, 2025, with priority given to fan club members and verified presale subscribers.
This isn’t just a concert. It’s a piece of history, and for many, a once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness the magic of Led Zeppelin live — once more, for Bonzo.
