Led Zeppelin's Summer 1969 North American Tour was the third concert tour of North America by the English rock band. The tour commenced on 5 July and concluded on 31 August 1969.
By this point in the band's career, Led Zeppelin were earning $30,000 a night for each of the concerts they performed.[1] According to music journalist Chris Welch:
One New York concert drew 21,000 people, while support like the Doors and Iron Butterfly were consistently blown off stage by the rampaging Britons.[1]
This concert tour is noteworthy for the number of festival appearances made by Led Zeppelin.[2] These include:[3]
5 July – Atlanta International Pop Festival
6 July – Newport Jazz Festival
11 July – Laurel Pop Festival
12 July – Summer Pop Festival
21 July – Schaefer Music Festival – headliners at New York City's Wollman Rink, along with B.B. King
25 July – Midwest Rock Festival
27 July – Seattle Pop Festival – the infamous shark episode is alleged to have taken place at this time
30 August – Singer Bowl Music Festival
31 August – Texas International Pop Festival
