Fun Fact
When Led Zeppelin played Royal Albert Hall in 1970, their performance was so powerful that the venue’s management banned rock concerts for a while! Decades later, rock icons like Eric Clapton and David Bowie reclaimed the stage, proving the hall could handle both symphonies and screaming guitars.
