Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Evening plays Physical Graffiti at The Factory on Nov. 16

John Bonham's son brings his fall tour, built around Led Zeppelin's 1975 double album, to Chesterfield for a Monday night.

A Monday night in mid-November is not usually when St. Louis rock fans get the big night out. Next week is the exception: Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Evening plays The Factory in Chesterfield on Monday, Nov. 16, with the show starting at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets run $64.85 to $258.90 through Ticketmaster. The Factory holds 3,000, which is a big room for a weeknight and a sign of how far this show travels on name alone.

That name is the point. Jason Bonham is the son of the late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, and for years his Led Zeppelin Evening has been a way of paying homage to his dad from behind the same instrument. This isn't a cover band with a borrowed connection; it's a family story played out on a drum riser.

The current shows are built around Physical Graffiti, Led Zeppelin's double album, released in February 1975. The band has been celebrating the record's 50th anniversary with a world tour that has stretched well past the anniversary itself, with the 2026 set built around the album in its entirety. In April the tour reached Australia and New Zealand, and Bonham told Blabbermouth that taking on the whole album, fifteen years into the project, came from wanting a challenge.

This isn't a cover band with a borrowed connection; it's a family story played out on a drum riser.

The fall leg is a 24-date North American run across November and December, according to Ultimate Classic Rock and JamBase. It opens Nov. 11 at the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles, Illinois, and the route into St. Louis runs through Chicago (Nov. 12), Milwaukee (Nov. 14) and Grand Rapids (Nov. 15), with Nashville on Nov. 18 and Cincinnati on Nov. 20 after Chesterfield. The tour then turns south and wraps Dec. 13 at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida. Chesterfield lands early in that run, which means the band arrives a few shows in and fully warmed up.

Physical Graffiti is a big record to take on in full. It's a double album, and playing it front to back means committing to the long stretches alongside the radio staples. For anyone who has only heard these songs on a classic rock station in the car, a full-album night at room volume is a different experience, and the anniversary framing gives it a reason to exist beyond nostalgia.

Practical notes: 7:30 p.m. is the listed start, and Chesterfield is a drive for most of the city, so build in time for traffic on a Monday evening and for parking once you get there. Buy through the official ticket link, and check it for the venue's bag and entry policies before you head out.

It's a Monday. It's also a chance to hear a Bonham play Zeppelin. That's a pretty easy trade.
