Led Zeppelin Announce Worldwide Cinema Release Of 'Celebration Day'

October 17th will see the worldwide cinema release for one day only of 'Celebration Day', the Led Zeppelin film of their first live show in 27 years.

This film is the closest thing to seeing the band actually play live. The likelihood of getting to see the band play live again is very slim, so this really is a must-attend/once in a lifetime event for any Led Zeppelin fan; for any rock fan. Check out the press conference held detailing the event, below.



Led Zeppelin took the stage at London’s O2 Arena to headline a tribute concert for dear friend and Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun. What followed was a two-hour-plus tour de force of the band’s signature blues-infused rock ’n’ roll that instantly became part of the legend of Led Zeppelin. Founding members John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant were joined by Jason Bonham, the son of their late drummer John Bonham, to perform 16 songs from their celebrated catalog including landmark tracks 'Whole Lotta Love,' 'Rock And Roll,' 'Kashmir,' and 'Stairway To Heaven.'

Although 20 million people applied for tickets, the band’s first headline show in 27 years was seen only by the 18,000 ticket holders who were fortunate enough to have secured seats through the worldwide lottery.

The film of 'Celebration Day' will see a worldwide theatrical release by Omniverse Vision on 1,500 screens in over 40 territories on October 17th. The theatrical screenings will follow premières in London, Los Angeles, New York, and other major cities. Tickets for the public screenings are on sale now via www.ledzeppelin.com.

'Celebration Day' will then be available in multiple video and audio formats on November 19th from Swan Song/Atlantic Records.

Led Zeppelin has also been selected as one of the recipients of the 2012 Kennedy Center Honors. The band is set to receive the Honors at the annual gala on December 2nd in Washington, DC.
