Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening has added a Summer 2025 North American leg to their ongoing tour commemorating the 50th anniversary of Led Zeppelin’s iconic 1975 album, Physical Graffiti. Following their current spring run of shows, which winds down on May 31 at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, the summer jaunt begins on August 1 in Omaha, Nebraska, and concludes on August 31 in Vancouver, with stops in cities like San Antonio, Denver, Tucson, and Seattle along the way. The show will feature drummer Bonham and his band performing Physical Graffiti in full as well as other Zeppelin classics. A pre-sale starts on Thursday (May 29), with general ticket sales beginning on Friday (May 30). Bonham, son of the late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, says, “This is my favorite Led Zeppelin album of all time. Being able to celebrate it the way we are planning on this tour is something I am extremely excited about.” (Consequence of Sound)
