Following an uber successful bout of dates in January as
well as various one-off shows throughout the year, LED ZEPPELIN 2 —
the ultimate Led Zeppelin tribute band fronted by Yakuza’s Bruce Lamont — will
embark on another journey this Fall. The tour is set to commence on September 5
in Toledo, Ohio and roll through nine cities, including two nights in Allston,
Massachusetts, with additional dates to be added soon.
Comments Lamont: "We’re super stoked to hit the
East Coast this Fall. We have some songs we’re gonna debut for the first time
and other surprises. See you out there!"

Crowned “…the best Zep band going
anywhere,” by Time Out New York and, “…the closest thing to seeing the real Led
Zeppelin,” by The Dallas Observer, LED ZEPPELIN 2brings you the
excitement of the original legends “In Concert” by reenacting the onstage
interaction that earned Led Zeppelin their monolithic status. Rather than a
“greatest hits” show, you get to experience Zeppelin as Zeppelin would have
played live themselves.
LZ2 have been selling-out venues across the
U.S. since 2010 and continue to draw rave reviews for a “spot-on” Zeppelin
show, playing deep cuts and classic tracks from the entire catalog, and
occasionally entire Led Zeppelin performances from specific shows and sets from
the band’s storied history.
“There are a lot of Zep tributes out there, but
this one’s our favorite, not least because its members fully immerse themselves
in the musicianship and style of the four classic-rock heavyweights. That
Yakuza howler Bruce Lamont does a mean Robert Plant is icing on the cake.” —
Time Out Chicago
“…these imitators get the Led out in a way your battered
copy of Physical Graffiti never will, right down to the unearthly tones of
guitarist Paul Kamp’s bowed Les Paul solos. Sure, purists are still holding out
for the real deal’s tour, but even if that happens, it’s doubtful that Robert
Plant can wail the opening lines of ‘Black Dog’ as well as his LED
ZEPPELIN 2 counterpart, Bruce Lamont,” — The Onion
“The band is on its way out of the minor leagues, and is
now playing bigger venues for a generation of fans too young to have ever
experienced the genuine article.” — The New Yorker
“…such authentic raw flair, the entire crowd bought
it, no questions lingering… It was nasty… hard to believe how balls-out
fantastic they are.” — Atlanta’s Backstage Beat
“Bruce Lamont and Paul Kamp (of Yakuza and Busker
Soundcheck fame, respectively) and the killer rhythm section of Ian Lee and
Chris Klein bill themselves as LED ZEPPELIN 2, and they do as good
a Zep as Zep ever did back in the day.” — The Chicago Sun Times
