Led Foot Live at SEMA 2025
The industry band is back for one night only to rock the house & raise money for charity…
The legendary industry band Led Foot returns for one night only at the Westgate Hotel’s iBar on Nov. 6 from 9:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. for an unforgettable night of live music, laughs and camaraderie. And it’s all for a great cause, too, as all merchandise sales at the show benefit SEMA Cares, which supports children’s charities across the country.
Led Foot began in 1996, when a few musicians from the automotive industry got together for an impromptu late-night jam session. One thing “led” to another, and in 1998, the band was invited to play at the SEMA Banquet after-party. Ever since, Led Foot has performed for industry friends, selling shirts and hats (donated by PWA) to raise money for the SEMA Scholarship Fund and later SEMA Cares.
In 2006, PWA honored Led Foot for outstanding entertainment and years of support for the association and its members.

Bringing People Together for Good Times & Good Causes
Led Foot is also known for inviting fellow industry professionals to sit in onstage, which has often sparked incredible surprise performances. As Ritchie Fliegler, retired VP of Marketing for Fender Musical Instruments, once told the band: “What you do is something I could never do at a music convention—bring competitors together on the same stage, drop the company hats, and just play for fun. You connect people.”
So come join Led Foot—the band that’s been bringing the automotive aftermarket together for nearly three decades—to rock, hang out and reconnect—and don’t forget to grab some merch to help raise money for the kids of SEMA Cares.
