Jason Bonham’s ‘Led Zeppelin Evening’ Bringing ‘Physical Graffiti’ Anniversary Tour To Australia In 2026

If you’ve ever wondered what it might’ve felt like to stand in front of Led Zeppelin at their absolute peak – this is about as close as it gets in 2026.

Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening (JBLZE) has announced an Australian tour this April, marking the final leg of a massive world tour celebrating the 50th anniversary of Led Zeppelin’s all-conquering double album Physical Graffiti.

The tour will see Bonham and his crack band perform Physical Graffiti in full, front to back – meaning live renditions of era-defining monsters like ‘Kashmir’, ‘The Wanton Song’ and ‘In My Time Of Dying’, alongside deeper cuts including ‘In The Light’ and ‘Boogie With Stu’. And because this is a Led Zeppelin show, it doesn’t stop there – expect additional classics like ‘Good Times Bad Times’, ‘Whole Lotta Love’ and ‘Stairway To Heaven’ rounding out the set.

For Jason Bonham, this run is deeply personal: “For me, this isn’t just an album – it’s the album,” Bonham says. “Physical Graffiti has always been my ultimate Led Zeppelin record.”

Originally envisioned as a 50-show celebration, the tour has since ballooned into an 80-date global juggernaut, with Australia and New Zealand selected as the final chapter – a nod to how fiercely JBLZE shows are embraced down under.

And it makes sense. Jason Bonham doesn’t approach this project as a tribute act – he approaches it as a continuation of lineage. From playing alongside Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones at the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary Concert, to holding down the drum throne at Zeppelin’s historic 2007 reunion show, Bonham’s connection to this music runs far deeper than nostalgia.

Since launching JBLZE in 2010, he’s built a live experience that balances faithful musicianship, massive visuals, and emotional weight – something Rolling Stone once praised for being “strikingly faithful to the originals.” Billy Joel even personally selected JBLZE to open shows, which is about as strong an endorsement as you’ll ever get.

The April 2026 Australia and New Zealand dates will mark Bonham’s return following a hugely successful previous run, with the drummer promising the final leg will “raise the bar even higher”.
