Unseen Led Zeppelin Pictures Charting Their Leap To Stardom

Often regarded as one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time, Led Zeppelin are bona fide musical gods. From their initial formation through The Yardbirds to their later years of musical experimentation and epic rock excess, they're one of the most prolific bands of all time. 

Starting from the 21st August and running until 4th October, Proud Chelsea will be hosting an exhibition charting the unseen evolution of the band from their first ever performance as the New Yardbirds to their final world beating tour of the US. 

Check out the preview snaps for a taster.
