Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones Announce 2026 Tour Titled ‘One Last Ride’ — A Soul-Stirring Historic Reunion Awakening the Immortal Spirit of Led Zeppelin — Tour Dates and Cities Revealed…
Rock history has just been rewritten. After decades of speculation, fleeting one-off performances, and countless rumors, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones have officially announced they will reunite for a monumental 2026 world tour. Titled “One Last Ride,” this is being billed as the final time the surviving members of Led Zeppelin will share the stage — and for fans around the world, it’s a dream made real.
The announcement came during a surprise press conference in London’s Royal Albert Hall, the same iconic venue where Zeppelin once carved their legend in the early ‘70s. The three rock icons walked on stage together to thunderous applause, exchanging knowing smiles before Plant leaned into the microphone:
“It’s been a long time… maybe too long. But the music has a life of its own — and we’re ready to let it roar again.”
A Reunion Decades in the Making
While Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones have each remained active in their own projects over the years, full-scale Led Zeppelin tours have been elusive since drummer John Bonham’s death in 1980. The 2007 Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert in London’s O2 Arena, featuring Jason Bonham on drums, gave fans a glimpse of what could be — and now, nearly two decades later, that vision is set to become reality.
Sources close to the band say the decision was fueled by a combination of creative spark, fan demand, and the members’ desire to go out on their own terms. Page noted:
“We’ve always been careful about when and how we do this. This isn’t nostalgia — this is a celebration, a final statement, and we’re going to give it everything we’ve got.”
The Setlist and the Stage
While exact details of the setlist are being kept under wraps, insiders promise a career-spanning journey: thunderous epics like “Kashmir” and “Achilles Last Stand,” timeless anthems like “Stairway to Heaven,” and blues-drenched staples like “Since I’ve Been Loving You.” Expect new arrangements, extended solos, and the kind of improvisation that made Zeppelin concerts legendary.
The tour will feature state-of-the-art stage design blending cutting-edge visuals with a vintage rock ‘n’ roll soul. Massive LED walls will display never-before-seen archival footage, while the band performs beneath a towering, illuminated Zeppelin airship suspended over the stage.
Jason Bonham, son of the late John Bonham, will once again take the drum throne, his presence a living bridge between past and present.

The Emotional Weight of “One Last Ride”
For many, this tour is more than just music — it’s a chance to witness the living embodiment of rock history. Fans from multiple generations will stand shoulder-to-shoulder, singing the same words that shook the world half a century ago.
John Paul Jones summed it up best:
“It’s about connection. We’ve been part of people’s lives for so long, and they’ve been part of ours. This tour is our way of saying thank you.”
Tickets for One Last Ride are expected to sell out within minutes when they go on sale next month. VIP packages will include exclusive merchandise, limited-edition vinyl recordings, and even opportunities to attend soundchecks.
Whether you’ve been following Led Zeppelin since the ‘70s or you’re a younger fan who’s only ever experienced them through speakers, this tour promises something rare: a living, breathing moment where past and present collide in one final, unforgettable celebration.
One last ride. One last roar. And one last chance to stand in the shadow of giants.
If you want, I can also make a punchier Rolling Stone–style version with more grit, live-photo imagery, and crowd energy so it feels like a front-page concert feature. That would make it even more electrifying.
