Fans can expect "unprecedented access" to the band, in what marks "the first and only time they have participated in a documentary in 50 years."

The doc will also include new interviews with Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones, plus archive footage of the late drummer John Bonham - who tragically died in 1980, aged just 32 years old

A synopsis of the film explains: "Becoming Led Zeppelin explores the origins of this iconic group and their meteoric rise in just one year against all the odds. Powered by awe-inspiring, psychedelic, never-before-seen footage, performances, and music, Bernard MacMahon’s experiential cinematic odyssey explores Led Zeppelin’s creative, musical, and personal origin story. The film is told in Led Zeppelin’s own words and is the first officially sanctioned film on the group."

Filmmaker MacMahon previously said in a press release: "'Becoming Led Zeppelin' is a film that no one thought could be made. The band’s meteoric rise to stardom was swift and virtually undocumented. Through an intense search across the globe and years of restoration of the visual and audio archive found, this story is finally able to be told.”.
