The first official trailer for the long in-production Led Zeppelin documentary is finally here. Directed by Bernard MacMahon, Becoming Led Zeppelin is part doco part concert film and tells the story of one of the world’s most famous bands through the eyes of its members.
The doco includes new interviews with Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones, along with previously unreleased interviews with the late, great John Bonham. Fans will also be treated to unseen footage of the band, home movies and family photos, along with concert footage from the band’s gigs at the Filmore West and Texas Pop Festival
“We spent five years flying back and forth across the Atlantic scouring attics and basements in pursuit of rare and unseen film footage, photographs and music recordings,” writer/producer Allison McGourty said in a press release. “Then we transferred each piece of media with custom techniques, so that in IMAX, these 55-year-old clips and music would look and sound like they came out of the lab yesterday.”
Becoming Led Zeppelin will screen exclusively in over 200 IMAX theaters from February 7, 2025.

Arguably the greatest rock act of all time, Led Zeppelin changed the face of music during their short but impactful 12 years together.
Formed by Robert Plant (vocals), Jimmy Page (guitar), John Paul Jones (bass and keyboards), and John Bonham (drums) in 1968, Zeppelin went on to become one of the highest-selling artists in music history, releasing nine studio albums and a host of charting singles, including the #1 ARIA single, ‘Whole Lotta Love’.
The accidental death of Bonham in 1980 put an end to the band, with Zeppelin’s remaining members going on to have varied success as solo performers. 45 years on from the end of the band, Zeppelin are considered one of the greats, having had a massive cultural impact and influencing many of the bands who have come after them.
Catch Becoming Led Zeppelin in theatres on February 7, 2025.
