After decades of speculation, denials, and silence, Led Zeppelin — the gods of rock and roll — have officially confirmed what fans never thought they’d see in their lifetime: a 2026 farewell tour. Titled “One Last Ride,” the tour promises to be a thunderous swan song to one of the most legendary bands in music history.
Yes, you read that right. Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones are reuniting for the final time. And they’re bringing the fire with them
“It’s Now or Never,” Says Page
At a press conference held this morning at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall, Jimmy Page stunned the world with a statement that sent chills through every rock lover’s spine.
> “This is it,” Page said. “We’re calling it One Last Ride because that’s exactly what it is. We’ve had countless offers over the years, but we all felt it. Now’s the time. Not for the money. For the fans. For the legacy. For the final roar.”
He paused. “We can still do it — and we’re going to show the world what real rock and roll sounds like before we say goodbye.”
Robert Plant Joins In — With a Twist
Perhaps the most shocking part? Robert Plant is on board — fully. The notoriously reluctant frontman, who has often distanced himself from Zeppelin reunion talks, said he felt “an ache in the soul” to give fans one final tour.
> “This band changed the world. We owe it to the music, to Bonzo, and to the millions who’ve kept the flame burning,” Plant said, referencing the late drummer John Bonham.
In a bold and emotional move, the band also confirmed that Bonham’s son, Jason Bonham, will reprise his role behind the kit — just as he did in the band’s historic 2007 one-off reunion at London’s O2 Arena.

Social media exploded within minutes of the announcement. Hashtags like LedZeppelinFarewell, OneLastRide, and ZeppelinReturns trended worldwide. Instagram and TikTok were flooded with reaction videos of crying fans, guitar riffs, and bootleg vinyl spinning in tribute.
