Led Zeppelin’s 2007 concert film, “Celebration Day”, will make its US television debut on AXS TV on Sunday, November 24 at 8 PM ET.
AXS TV will broadcast encore presentations of “Celebration Day” every night of the week at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT from Monday, November 25 through Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 28.
The concert premiered theatrically last year and is also available on Blu-Ray, DVD, CD, vinyl, and digital download.
"Led Zeppelin is such an integral part of the musical landscape and evolution of rock 'n' roll," said AXS TV founder Mark Cuban. "Making such a landmark performance accessible to millions of households is one of the ways AXS TV intends to bring music back to television."
Following heralded premieres in New York, London, Berlin, and Tokyo, “Celebration Day” made its theatrical debut in 40 countries and over 1,500 screens. The concert was then released in multiple audio and video formats and shot to the top of charts worldwide.
The set captures the reunited band in concert at London’s O2 Arena on December 10, 2007, when they headlined a tribute concert for dear friend and Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun.
What followed was a two-hour-plus tour de force of the band’s signature blues-infused rock ’n’ roll that instantly became part of the legend of Led Zeppelin.
Although 20 million people applied for tickets, the band’s first headline show in 27 years was seen only by the 18,000 ticket holders who were fortunate enough to have secured seats through a worldwide lottery.
To date, “Celebration Day” has sold over two million copies worldwide.
