Breaking News: Led Zeppelin Announces Final World Tour – Dates and Cities Revealed…

In a stunning and long-awaited announcement that has electrified the global music scene, legendary rock band Led Zeppelin has officially revealed plans for their final world tour. Titled **“Stairway to Forever: The Final Tour,”** the band’s farewell run will span six continents, touching down in 30 cities across the globe. The tour will kick off in London this September and conclude in Los Angeles in July 2026, marking what is being billed as the final opportunity for fans to witness the iconic group live on stage.

 

This announcement comes after years of speculation and near-reunions that left fans hoping for more. Led Zeppelin, whose influence on rock music is immeasurable, last performed together in 2007 at London’s O2 Arena for a one-night-only tribute concert to Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun. Since then, rumors of a reunion tour have persisted, but nothing materialized—until now.

 

In a statement released early Thursday, surviving members Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones expressed both excitement and sentimentality about the upcoming tour.

 

*”This isn’t just a tour,”* said lead vocalist Robert Plant. *”It’s a celebration of everything Led Zeppelin has meant to us and to the generations who grew up with our music. We’re closing the circle, and we’re doing it in the biggest way possible.”*

 

Drummer Jason Bonham, son of the late John Bonham, will once again join the band behind the kit. His performance in 2007 earned widespread acclaim and cemented his place in what many consider the only lineup capable of honoring Led Zeppelin’s legacy.

 

The tour will begin on **September 15, 2025, at Wembley Stadium** in London. From there, it will travel to iconic venues such as New York’s Madison Square Garden, Tokyo Dome, Sydney’s Accor Stadium, and Rio de Janeiro’s Maracanã Stadium. The North American leg alone will include stops in Toronto, Chicago, San Francisco, and Miami.

Critics and fans alike are already calling this one of the most anticipated tours in rock history. Music historian Simon Reynolds described the announcement as *“a full-circle moment for the greatest band of the classic rock era.”*

 

Led Zeppelin’s influence spans generations, with hits like “Whole Lotta Love,” “Black Dog,” “Kashmir,” and the immortal “Stairway to Heaven” remaining staples of rock radio and live covers to this day. The tour promises a mix of classic hits, deep cuts, and reimagined arrangements that showcase the band’s evolution over the decades.
