Experience the Epic Return of Physical Graffiti in 2025!
Come one, come all! In 2025, witness the extraordinary live performance of Physical Graffiti in its entirety by Kashmir featuring Jean Violet. This iconic 6th album, originally released in 1975, captures Led Zeppelin at their creative zenith. With an abundance of new music that couldn’t be contained on a single album, Led Zeppelin made Physical Graffiti their only studio double album. It was both a critical and commercial triumph, debuting at #1 in the UK and #3 in the US, and has since achieved a staggering 16x Platinum status in the US.

Prepare yourself for an unforgettable evening as the band takes you on a musical journey through some of Led Zeppelin’s most celebrated songs:
“In My Time of Dying”: Revel in the down and dirty blues.
“Ten Years Gone”: Experience the melancholy and soul-stirring melodies.
“Down By The Seaside”: A hymn to nature that captivates the senses.
“Night Flight”: Feel the grinding rhythm of this song of escape.
Rock and Roll Majesty
The evening will also feature straight-up rockers and eclectic tunes that define the album’s diversity:
“Sick Again” and “The Wanton Song”: Embrace the raw energy of these rock anthems.
“The Rover”: Another powerful rocker that promises to energize the crowd.
“Trampled Under Foot”: Get ready to groove to the funk-infused beats.
