In a monumental announcement that has electrified the music world, legendary rock band Led Zeppelin has unveiled plans for a summer 2025 tour, marking their first major series of performances since their historic 2007 reunion at London’s O2 Arena. This revelation comes as a delightful surprise to fans who have long awaited the return of the iconic British group.
Tour Overview
The “Reign of Fire Tour” is slated to kick off in North America in May 2025, with subsequent performances across Europe, Asia, and Australia.

This global itinerary ensures that fans worldwide will have the opportunity to experience Led Zeppelin’s legendary live performances once more.
Band Members’ Perspectives
Guitarist Jimmy Page expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We’re ready to take this music to the world. There’s nothing quite like the energy of a live performance, and we can’t wait to bring that power to our fans, old and new.” Vocalist Robert Plant added, “I think we’ve all been waiting for the right time, and the right inspiration, to revisit the magic we created back in the day.” Bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones emphasized the band’s commitment to both legacy and innovation: “This is about celebrating the legacy of Led Zeppelin while also forging ahead with new sounds.”
Fan Expectations
While the exact setlist remains under wraps, fans can anticipate a blend of classic hits and new material. Timeless tracks such as “Stairway to Heaven,” “Whole Lotta Love,” and “Immigrant Song” are expected to feature prominently, alongside fresh compositions that reflect the band’s musical evolution. The inclusion of rare tracks and deep cuts from their extensive catalog has also been hinted at, promising a rich and varied concert experience.
Historical Context
Led Zeppelin’s last full concert took place in 2007 during a one-off reunion at London’s O2 Arena, a performance that was met with critical acclaim and left fans yearning for more.
