(NEWARK, NJ) -- The New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) presents Kashmir - The Spirit of Led Zeppelin Live! on Friday, September 19, 2025 at 8:00pm. Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Physical Graffiti with Kashmir, one of the most popular Led Zeppelin-inspired bands, featuring vocalist Jean Violet. This group is more than just a tribute band; it offers an immersive experience that brings the iconic music of Led Zeppelin to life.

You’ll experience the 1975 double album in its entirety, packed with iconic hits: “In My Time of Dying,” “Ten Years Gone,” “Down By the Seaside,” “Night Flight,” “Sick Again,” “The Wanton Song,” “The Rover,” “Trampled Under Foot” and “In the Light.” And of course, you’ll rock out to the larger-than-life anthem “Kashmir,” which Robert Plant and Jimmy Page called “the band’s definitive moment.” Live your Led Zeppelin fantasy with one of the top Zep tributes in the world.

This concert offers a complete audio and visual experience. The members of KASHMIR not only replicate the sound of Led Zeppelin but also bear a striking resemblance to the legendary band. This visual realism, combined with their intense sound, enhances the overall experience. Attending a KASHMIR concert is like being transported back to an era when musical giants walked the Earth.

Tickets are available for purchase online starting Friday, January 30th at 10:00am, by calling 888.GO.NJPAC (888.466.5722) or by visiting the NJPAC Box Office. New Jersey Performing Arts Center is located at 1 Center Street in Newark, New Jersey.

Founded by 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
