Legendary rock band Led Zeppelin has announced that they will host a highly anticipated concert at London’s O2 Arena in 2025, honoring the memory of their iconic drummer, John Bonham. The event will mark a poignant tribute to Bonham, whose unparalleled drumming style shaped the band’s sound and earned him recognition as one of the greatest drummers in rock history.
John Bonham, affectionately known as “Bonzo,” tragically passed away in 1980 at the age of 32, leading to the band’s decision to disband rather than continue without him. This upcoming concert will commemorate his immense contributions to music and the enduring legacy of Led Zeppelin.
Scheduled to take place on Friday March 28 2025, the O2 Arena show will be Led Zeppelin’s first major performance since their historic 2007 reunion concert, also held at the O2. That event, which celebrated the life of Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun, was attended by over 20,000 fans and set records for ticket demand.
While the full line-up and special guest appearances are being kept under wraps, it is expected that surviving members Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones will unite for the tribute. John Bonham’s son, Jason Bonham, a talented drummer in his own right, is likely to play a key role, continuing the legacy of his father on stage.
Fans from around the world have already expressed their excitement over the announcement, with tickets expected to sell out within minutes once they go on sale. The concert promises to be not only a celebration of Bonham’s life and talent but also a nostalgic and powerful journey through Led Zeppelin’s timeless hits, ensuring his memory lives on for generations to come.
