Led Zeppelin collectors and fans have something to cheer about after a rare banner from the band’s legendary May 1975 Earl’s Court residency sold for £1,500. The banner had initially failed to sell at auction on December 2, but subsequent negotiations led to a confirmed sale. While the final price landed below the auction house’s £2,000–£3,000 estimate, it remains a prized piece of rock history for any serious collector.
That 1975 Earl’s Court residency is regarded as one of Led Zeppelin’s most defining moments. Returning to London after two years of massive U.S. touring, the band staged five sold-out nights from May 17 through May 25, playing to 85,000 fans across the five evenings. The shows featured some of the era’s most ambitious rock concert production: a groundbreaking 40-foot video screen—the first ever used in a UK rock show—lasers, and 40 tons of equipment transported from their American tour. Each performance stretched beyond three hours and included extended improvisations on classics like “Dazed and Confused” and “No Quarter,” as well as intimate acoustic moments including “Going to California” and “That’s the Way.”
2025 has been a landmark year for Led Zeppelin fans, as the band celebrated the 50th anniversary of Physical Graffiti. A four-track live EP released on September 12 highlights audio from the Earl’s Court shows, featuring “In My Time of Dying” and “Trampled Under Foot.” For collectors and audiophiles, it marks the first time these performances are available outside the 2003 Led Zeppelin DVD on vinyl, CD, or digital platforms. Complementing the EP, a deluxe edition of Physical Graffiti was issued, including a replica of the original Earl’s Court concert program and a bonus promotional poster—perfect for fans looking to relive the band’s historic London return.
The band’s legacy continued through 2025 with several notable events. A major IMAX documentary chronicling Led Zeppelin’s early years premiered in February, showcasing restored archival footage alongside interviews with surviving members. Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening toured throughout the year, performing Physical Graffiti in full, while May 17 marked a 50th-anniversary fan gathering hosted by band archivist Dave Lewis in London.
Looking ahead, Robert Plant is keeping the Zeppelin spirit alive with his “Spring Fever 2026” U.S. tour alongside his band Saving Grace, featuring co-vocalist Suzi Dian. This 16-date trek runs from March 14 in Albuquerque to April 7 in New York City, hitting major southern, southwestern, and northeastern markets along the way, including Red Bank, NJ at the Count Basie Center for the Arts on April 6. Texas alt-country singer-songwriter Rosie Flores opens the tour, adding a fresh contrast to Plant’s signature blend of rock and folk. Tickets are available now, with presales having started earlier in December.
