Led Zeppelin hosted a press conference at New York City’s Museum of Modern Art ahead of the U.S. premiere of Celebration Day at the Ziegfeld theater

In a highly anticipated event that set the music world ablaze, legendary rock band Led Zeppelin hosted a star-studded press conference at New York City’s iconic Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), just days before the U.S. premiere of their concert film *Celebration Day*. The event was a celebration not only of the band’s incredible legacy but also of their return to the public eye following the monumental success of their 2007 reunion show at London’s O2 Arena. This press conference was a precursor to the much-awaited screening of *Celebration Day* at the famed Ziegfeld Theater in midtown Manhattan.

 

The excitement was palpable as fans, journalists, and industry insiders gathered at MoMA, ready to hear from the iconic group. The conference marked the first time in years that all surviving members—Jimmy Page (guitar), Robert Plant (vocals), John Paul Jones (bass/keyboards), and Jason Bonham (drums)—sat together to discuss the band’s remarkable journey, their influence on the music industry, and their legendary performance at the O2 Arena.

 

In an era where many bands have seen their relevance fade over time, Led Zeppelin remains a pillar of rock and roll history. Their presence at MoMA was a testament to their enduring legacy, as the event drew attention from fans who wanted to know more about how the concert film came to life. *Celebration Day* is not just a live performance documentary; it is a timeless reminder of why Led Zeppelin remains one of the most influential bands in music history.

 

The film captures their stunning 2007 reunion show, which saw them perform in front of a sold-out crowd of 20,000 eager fans. The band played a setlist that included some of their biggest hits like “Stairway to Heaven,” “Whole Lotta Love,” and “Rock and Roll,” marking an unforgettable moment in rock history. For those who weren’t lucky enough to attend the O2 Arena show, *Celebration Day* offers the next best thing—a cinematic experience that transports viewers straight into the heart of the action.

 

During the press conference, each member shared their thoughts on the concert, with Jimmy Page reminiscing about the energy in the room, Robert Plant discussing the chemistry between the band members, and John Paul Jones reflecting on the band’s musicianship. Jason Bonham, who filled in for his late father John Bonham on drums, expressed his deep honor and gratitude for being part of this iconic event, adding a personal touch to the band’s reunion story.

 

While the reunion show in 2007 was meant to be a one-off event, the overwhelming success of the concert and the band’s electric chemistry raised questions about a possible future tour. However, the press conference made it clear that Led Zeppelin has no plans for a full-scale tour. Instead, the focus remains on preserving their legacy and sharing their music with the next generation through projects like *Celebration Day*.

 

As the press conference came to a close, the anticipation for the Ziegfeld Theater premiere was palpable. Fans eagerly awaited the chance to witness the magic of Led Zeppelin on the big screen, while the band’s place in rock history was solidified once again. Whether through their timeless albums or unforgettable live performances, Led Zeppelin’s influence continues to resonate with music lovers around the world.

 

Led Zeppelin may not be touring anymore, but with *Celebration Day*, they’ve shown that their music will live on forever. The film is a testament to the band’s enduring impact and offers a rare opportunity to experience their magic, even for those who never got to see them perform live.
