Lez Zeppelin: All Females, All Zeppelin!
Bristol, CT – [September 25, 2025] – Lez Zeppelin will perform in Bristol, Connecticut on Saturday, October 4, 2025 as part of the Downtown Live event series at the Rockwell Theater.
In honor of the 50th anniversary of the release of Led Zeppelin’s legendary double album, Physical Graffiti, Lez Zeppelin, the world renown all-female rock ensemble, presents: Physical Graffiti in its entirety, an immersive multimedia concert experience. Released in February of 1975, the epic double album captures the mighty Led Zeppelin at the peak of its creativity, power and prowess. Simply put, it is the album everyone wants to hear!
Founded in 2004 by New York guitarist, Steph Paynes, the all-girl quartet, Lez Zeppelin, has since gained unanimous critical acclaim as one of the most exciting live acts around, becoming the first female rock act to pay homage to Led Zeppelin and to garner rave reviews across the board.
Lez Zeppelin stays true to the musically audacious spirit of the original band, delivering blistering arrangements and monstrous sound note-for-note at sold-out frenzied shows around the world.
In June 2013, Jimmy Page (founder and guitarist of Led Zeppelin) attended their show in London and said of the group, “they played the Led Zeppelin music with an extraordinary sensuality and an energy and passion that highlighted their superb musicianship.”
The group has recorded three full-length albums, Lez Zeppelin, which was produced by legendary engineer/producer, Eddie Kramer (Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, KISS); Lez Zeppelin I, a jaw-dropping remake of Led Zeppelin’s first album, which was recorded using the same vintage gear; and The Island of Skyros, which features the band with the addition of a string quartet.
Arianna Therriault, Arts and Culture Supervisor for the City of Bristol, noted, “This is an exciting rock show – we’ve had soft rock, pop, indie-folk, but not quite this style of hard rock music, the theater will be electric on this night!”
The band has appeared at major rock festivals including the Isle of Wight, Bonnaroo, Hellfest, Download and more; and has been featured on many major media outlets, including the BBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, MTV, Sirius XM, VH-1, and NPR. At the recommendation of Jimmy Page, the band was asked to perform a concert in 2019 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art to celebrate the wildly popular exhibit, Play it Loud, Instruments of Rock and Roll.
The thing that sets Lez Zeppelin apart from the others is the unique power, personality and magical force that is far beyond that of a “tribute” act. SPIN magazine called them “the most powerful all-female band in rock history.”
Superintendent Dr. Josh Medeiros remarked, “Downtown Live continues to make an impact in the downtown and city economy, we are thrilled to see Bristol thriving during these events.”
