JASON BONHAM’S LED ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE:
LIMITED ENGAGEMENT TO COMMEMORATE THE 30th ANNIVERSARY OF THE PASSING OF A ROCK & ROLL LEGEND
SET TO LAUNCH OCTOBER 8
ONSALE IN SELECT MARKETS BEGINNING
FRIDAY, AUGUST 20
JASON BONHAM’S LED ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE will celebrate the life and music of his father–the legendary Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham. The limited engagement of concert dates–timed to take place just after the 30th anniversary of his Dad’s passing on September 25th, 1980–will launch in North America October 8 in British Columbia. JBLZE will kick off in the U.S. October 19 in Minneapolis and continue through late November, reaching major North American cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia, Toronto, Montreal, Houston, Seattle, Vancouver and many others (see the initial dates listed below with more to be announced).
Bonham–who has teamed with Annerin Productions, the heralded company behind “The Pink Floyd Experience" and the aforementioned "Rain, A Tribute to the Beatles”–is anxiously anticipating the show’s opening night. “I can’t wait,” Jason enthuses. “I’m sure it will be an emotional night, especially the first time we do it in front of an audience, but it’s a commemoration of Dad’s life and my life with the music and the company of Led Zeppelin. And I’m really looking forward to doing it.”
As BONHAM and his band rock through Led Zeppelin's hallowed catalog, a state-of-the-art sound system and light show will enhance their live performance onstage. Behind them, giant screens will display futuristic art and mood-setting historical video footage and photos. The stunning atmosphere and powerful live performance will take concert-goers through a personal journey into JASON’s past and put them front and center at this stunning multimedia concert experience.
On sale beginning Friday, August 20, JASON BONHAM’S LED ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE will take place in grand theatres offering excellent sightlines, promising an epic, intimate and unforgettable night of rock n' roll.
Tickets are available online at Ticketmaster.com and all Ticketmaster outlets.
