Years after its initial festival premiere, the first authorized Led Zeppelin documentary finally has a 2025 release date and a thrilling new trailer.
Becoming Led Zeppelin
Following the release of Jimmy Page’s Gibson EDS-1275 Doubleneck earlier this week, this new official Led Zeppelin documentary finally has an official release date!
This highly anticipated documentary delves into the band’s early years, a period far from the rock and roll royalty they’d become. Packed with electrifying stage footage and candid interviews with surviving members, the trailer offers a glimpse into a time of unwavering belief amidst industry skepticism.
Learn how Led Zeppelin overcame early setbacks and industry rejection to become one of the greatest rock bands ever.
“You could tell it was gonna be a good group.”
“You could tell it was gonna be a good group, but people wouldn’t even book the band,” says John Bonham in a previously unheard audio clip that sets the stage for the documentary’s central theme: Led Zeppelin’s fight to ignite a musical revolution.
Despite the band’s confidence (John Paul Jones: “We knew we were on the right track,” Jimmy Page: “I wanted it to be something they hadn’t heard before”), the music world wasn’t exactly welcoming.
This documentary promises to explore how Led Zeppelin overcame these initial obstacles to become one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

IMAX
Bernard MacMahon directed the documentary, which will be released on February 7th in limited IMAX, preceded by preview screenings in select theaters. Exclusive interviews and meticulously restored footage make it a must-see for music fans, especially Led Zeppelin devotees.
Witness the birth of a legend. The first-ever authorized Led Zeppelin documentary features never-before-seen footage, exclusive interviews, and unheard audio recordings.
