(NEWTON, NJ) -- The Newton Theatre presents Kashmir on Friday, April 18, 2025 at 8:00pm. Kashmir is the nation’s #1 Led Zeppelin tribute show and is the most authentic representation of Led Zeppelin on the modern national touring scene.

Founded by vocalist Jean Violet in 2000, the band has evolved from performing on the streets of New York City to becoming one of the premier Led Zeppelin tribute acts, captivating audiences both nationally and internationally.

When you attend a Kashmir concert, you are not just listening to music; you are experiencing the mythos and magic of Led Zeppelin. The band performs both the legendary hits and deep cuts that have resonated with fans for decades. The show is a visual and auditory feast, offering the dynamic stage presence and musical prowess that one would expect from a true Led Zeppelin performance.

Each of the four band members assumes their individual role with pinpoint accuracy. Kashmir possesses the live stage show, sound and likeness to bring audiences and fans back to the days when the mighty Led Zeppelin ruled the musical landscape. With the playlist of every classic rock station and the most identifiable voice in rock history, Kashmir’s show features Jimmy Page’s iconic double-neck guitar, John Bonham’s drum solo, the stage show of the era and most importantly, the greatest hits that make up the soundtrack to peoples’ lives. For those who dream and wish to experience a live Led Zeppelin show, dream no more— Kashmir will fit the bill!

Tickets range from $39-$54 and are available for purchase online starting Friday, February 28 at 10:00am. The Newton Theatre is located at 234 Spring Street in Newton, New Jersey.
