Get the Led Out in Tampa

About Get the Led Out

Get the Led Out is a Led Zeppelin tribute band that's been keeping Plant-and-Page's catalog alive on stages across North America since the early 2000s. They're meticulous about recreating the sound and feel of Zeppelin's studio recordings, which means you're getting the full orchestration of those songs—not a stripped-down bar band version. The band has built a solid regional following by treating this like a real job: studying every note, getting the dynamics right, respecting the source material. They play the obvious hits like Stairway to Heaven and Whole Lotta Love, but they'll also dig into deeper cuts that Zeppelin diehards actually want to hear. If you've always wanted to experience a full Zeppelin show but that door closed in the seventies, this is the closest legitimate substitute. They understand the difference between playing Zeppelin songs and channeling the band.

Sweaty, earnest crowds of varying ages who came specifically to hear Zeppelin. The room gets legitimately loud during the heavy stuff. People sing along, some stand transfixed. Zero irony. It's a working tribute band that takes itself seriously, and that sincerity is the whole point.

Known for Whole Lotta Love, Stairway to Heaven, Black Dog, Rock and Roll, Kashmir

Get the Led Out + Tampa

Get the Led Out brought their meticulous Led Zeppelin tribute to Tampa Theatre in March 2017, running through a 20-song deep dive that proved they understand the source material inside and out. They didn't just hit the obvious marks—opening with "Immigrant Song" made sense, but they earned their keep with "Ten Years Gone" and "The Battle of Evermore," songs that require genuine musicianship to pull off. "Dazed and Confused" was a showcase, "When the Levee Breaks" hit with full weight, and closing out with "Whole Lotta Love" sent people home satisfied. It was the kind of show where even casual fans realized how much substance lives in Zeppelin's catalog beyond the radio hits.
