“Becoming Led Zeppelin,” the first official documentary chronicling the legendary rock band’s formation and meteoric rise, is set for release in early 2025. Directed by Bernard MacMahon, the film offers an in-depth look at the individual journeys of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham, culminating in their union as Led Zeppelin and their rapid ascent to global fame by 1970.
The documentary is notable for its exclusive interviews with surviving band members and previously unheard audio from the late John Bonham. It features restored archival footage, including performances from the band’s early concerts in the U.S. and the U.K., enhanced using advanced technology to provide a fresh and immersive experience for viewers.
“Becoming Led Zeppelin” will premiere exclusively in IMAX theaters on February 7, 2025, followed by a general theatrical release on February 14, 2025. Tickets for these showings are currently available for purchase.

The documentary is being distributed by Sony Pictures Classics, and its initial release strategy focuses on theatrical showings.
