SEVERAL artists have been confirmed to be part of the line-up at Redditch’s special party to mark what would have been legendary Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham’s 75th birthday.
Vincent Flatts Final Drive, CODA – A Tribute to Led Zeppelin, Ceri Justice and The Jury, and Taxi For Jesus have all been confirmed for the show, which will take place under the canopies in the town centre, near the Bonham sculpture, on May 27.
The headline act will be announced later this month and there will be special guests at the party, all with links to Bonham.
Bonham was born on May 31, 1948, at 84 Birchfield Road in Headless Cross, the home of local midwife nurse Violet Jones which was commemorated in 2017 with a blue plaque.
The event will be in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust, the charity nominated by the Bonham family when his memorial was installed in the town centre in 2018.
Event director Ros Sidaway said the party’s announcement had already received a fantastic response in Britain and the USA.
She added she hoped the people of Redditch would come together and celebrate John appropriately to show people around the world just how much he means to the town.
Limited Earlybird tickets, priced at £20 each plus the booking fee, will go on sale at 10am on Tuesday, March 7.
