The Jimmy Page Jake Holmes lawsuit concerning the iconic song “Dazed and Confused” has reached another settlement, more than a decade after their original legal battle.

Holmes, who first wrote and released “Dazed and Confused” in 1967, initially settled with Page in 2011 after alleging that Led Zeppelin had used his composition without proper credit. That case resulted in the song being officially credited as “written by Jimmy Page, inspired by Jake Holmes.”

But in early 2025, Holmes filed a new lawsuit, claiming that Page continued to misattribute authorship in recent releases. The complaint pointed specifically to multiple Yardbirds recordings, issued within the last three years, that featured performances of “Dazed and Confused” credited solely to Page, even though Holmes had always been acknowledged for the Yardbirds-era version in the 2011 agreement.

The lawsuit also referenced the documentary Becoming Led Zeppelin, which included two performances of the song—one by Led Zeppelin and another by the Yardbirds. Holmes contended that the latter, once again, wrongly listed Page as the sole songwriter.

According to court filings from this past Friday, Holmes has now formally notified the court that “a settlement has been reached that resolves the entire case.” The terms of the agreement have not been made public.

This marks the second time the two musicians have resolved legal disputes over “Dazed and Confused,” a track that has long stood at the center of authorship debates surrounding Led Zeppelin’s early work.
