Bonham brings Led Zeppelin Experience to State Fair

Published March 18, 2013 at 11:51 a.m.

It was announced today that Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience has been added to the Wisconsin State Fair's opening night, Aug. 1.

The Led Zeppelin Experience is joining the previously-announced Heart performance at the Main Stage at 7:30 p.m.

Bonham is the son of Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham. Over six million fans watched online as Bonham paid tribute to his father last December at the Kennedy Center Honors, where he memorably performed "Stairway to Heaven."

Officials say that the Heart show will conclude with a special 30-minute tribute to Led Zeppelin.

Tickets are available online for $25 and $35.
