Jimmy Page confirmed to Guitar World that he will be heading back out on the road next year, and is currently putting together a live band that he says is “totally different” from Led Zeppelin.

“There will be all sorts of material from different eras,” the guitarist told the magazine. “Right across the board; that’s the way I’m seeing it. But like I said, there will be surprises. It won’t be entirely what people might be expecting.”
Page’s last tour was alongside Robert Plant in 1998. He’s also planning a solo release for 2016, his first since 1988 album Outrider. “I haven’t got another 20-30 years left in me,” Page told Billboard late last year, “so I really need to get out there and present myself the way that I like to present myself, and to be seen and be heard.”
