Led Zeppelin Reuniting For A Show

Rock legends Led Zeppelin will reportedly reunite for a one-off memorial concert in honor of their late record boss.

If true, it would mark the third time that the '70s legends have played since disbanding. The band has only performed a handful of concerts, since their split in 1980 following the death of drummer John Bonham. But singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones will re-group alongside Bonham's son Jason for a special concert in memory of Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun in London.

A source says, "Page, Plant and Jones spoke and agreed to do the memorial concert. They are waiting for a definite date."

"And no one can quite believe it, but during discussions about the concert they all gave the green light to a tour if it all does well and they don't all fall out."

"It has been hoped for and denied for years. But this is the closest they have ever come to a reunion tour. The feeling is that this is going to happen next year."

Ertegun died in December after seven weeks in a coma following a fall at a Rolling Stones concert. The likes of Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Stevie Nicks, and Crosby, Stills & Nash all played his New York memorial in April of this year.

[Mass_debator]

[Saofan12]

OMG this is like unbelievable am i dreaming .. did other people see this?

[Led_Zeppelin992]

YEAHHHHH!!!!! LED ZEP REUNION YEAH!!!!! Holy shit...I still can't believe it.

LONG LIVE THE MIGHTY ZEPP

[hardrocker64]

slim to none. They will keep it in the family with Jason.

MUST SEE

[Birdy266]

YEAAHHHHH!!!!! ZEPPELIN!!!

[j-e-f-f-e-r-s]

effing awesome!!!

[Ikey]

wooo

Wembley perhaps

[hardrocker64]

Didn't Plant and Page get together in 1993 or 1994 and do some stuff? I used to have that CD Unledded. I thought it was live material? Zep would be very sweet to see. I got that Box DVD with the old concert footage. EXCELLENT!!

[Child Of Maiden]

Holy effin' christ! That news just punched me in the face.

[blink-182.5]

Sweet

[Morgy]

Great news.

[TehDoors]

i woudl also sell my soul for a ticket. no doubt .whoop!

[TheForeigner]

WOW!! I'd sale my children and my wife for that gig!!!
But unfortunately i haven't! XD

[TehDoors]

and yes they did do a page and plant tour but that wasn't a led zeppelin reunion, your missing the musically gifted John Paul Jones.

Rejoyce sweethearts, the Zep have returned.....
"DOES ANYBODY REMEMBER LAUGHTER?"

[Xeus]

YES!!!

[Doodleface]

I am breathing VERY heavily, as I must put off buying food, water, and all other things in order to buy a ticket to this.

[theduke92]

Wow, that was a great thing to wake up to...

[LaLaLaLoopy]

AMAZING!, Zeppelin,resurrected! Awesome.Talk about a must see....hope they tour.....Dave Grohl...god no!.....Id rather see n hear Jason on the skins than anyone else,its in his blood,he should be there.

[clap-eric]

it's great to read they are reuniting for concerts
led zepplin the gr8 legend in rock history

[lemon]

I would give my soul to the prince of darkness in order to see this show

[I-AM-NOT-GOD]

AHHHHH!!!!! SHAG ME IN THE ARSE AND SAY IT'S TRUE!!!!! I MAY BE 14 BUT I'LL RISK MY ARMS AND LEGS TO GO TO THAT!!!!! *jizz*

[JilaX^]

This should not be done. I'm a die hard zeppelin fan, but for those of you who don't see how important Bonham is, go listen to their songs. He fills up so much of the space that Page and Plant leaves open. Him and John Paul Jones are unreplaceable. There is not a single drummer alive that can play the stuff Bonham did.

[Xerothunder]

Page and Plant played at the Molson Amphitheatre in toronto, I know that for a fact.

[NOtrab]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT! maybe if i asked them nicely they would come to canada too!

[Gibson_Rocker13]

this is freakin' sweet

[Metalology]

come to Toronto LOL

[PDMChubby]

That's really not true, the rhythms he played weren't that hard, honestly. However, had you said no one could play it LIKE Bonham, I would agree with you 100% there.

I'd love to go, even if they sucked really bad, I just need to see them play once in my lifetime.

[goatgodgarota]

Nice. Hope they do a tour.

[Tool_46n2]

If this truly happens, right after seeing Rush this year, my face would probably explode

Neil peart could.

[mohawkkidJohn]

i would sell my kidneys,liver,stomach,and
all of my other internal organs and my soul to get a ticket to that.

This is a Zeppelin article. Leave Ozzy out of it.

[piangrande]

Amen!!!
A reunion concert and then maybe even a tour???
If true, I hope they don't leave Europe out.
Let's pray this dream comes true.

[burnside658958]

There is a god!!!!

[KeepDreamin]

This is a Zeppelin article. Leave Ozzy out of it.

+1

Wow, i definitely have to check this out. I just started listening to led zep again like last week so this is fait.

[j.pagejr.]

if i could see the three remaining band members play together, i would be happy if it was the last thing i ever did.

[octive12]

umm i can only sit here in disbelief i must have a ticket to this i will do f***ing anything for it ANYTHING

[davedoom]

i may die if this happens

[Rage`]

Oh my god. This is amazing. It's a perfect opportunity for those of us who weren't born the first time around to witness a Zeppelin show.

[Mamono]

oh my f*ck.....wow...this is earth shakingly awesome....wow....=)

[rustymoore91]

FREAKIN' SWEET!

[flea5906]

JilaX^ wrote:

well a lot of people CAN play it but i understand that they cant play it exactly like him because you can never play things like the person who originally did the stuff because they know when they can do little fills and change it because theyve done it so many times. however i think his son (not knowing how good he is) could be more reminiscent of his dad than other drummers

[ToesKa]

wowww

tour in europe tour in europe!

[thejester]

aint gonna happen

[Led_Zeppelin992]

I think the guys know that they could get a better drummer if they wanted, but they want John's son there because it means something, y'know? It's kinda symbolic. John would want his son to do it the best he could.

[kingjiyoon]

wow

[DaveGilmour1189]

^^John's actually REALLY good. He's done work for alot of people.

[hohner]

i'd give my left testicle just to see that show
thats even better than the reuniting of pink floyd, they even got bonhams son to play, thats insane!!!
they gotta make a dvd of that!

[RockhavenGuitar]

That is going to be a great show. They could charge anything they wanted for a ticket and I'm certain they'd still sell out.

[TheFallen1328]

hell, I'd give both my testicles for this show!

[Jtrocks1356]

It will be IMPOSSIBLE to get tickets. They'll sell out in record timing if they go on a tour. I would still want to try to get to see them.

[rollingstones]

Holy s**t. This f***ing rules. Ive wanted this to happen for so long and now its happening.
THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!

[Thursdae]

I am going... I don't care how much the tickets are or what I have to do to get them.. I'll be there.

[Quikslayer666]

whats with all these bands reuniting in 2007? first they do a one off show and then they play a couple more shows and before you know it there doing a reunion tour and a comeback album that would be awesome, and Dave Grohl on drums would kick ass in my opinion he'd be a perfect replacement for Led Zeppelin.

Checked.

[ZeppelinFan3890]

This is pretty good news, and even if the tour (if it does happen) is limited, I'm sure there will be a DVD to go along with it.

[Kadaj]

GIEF. TICKETS. NOW.

[lukejc1]

hell yeah!

[Mr_BTP]

this just floored me when i saw it

id go near anywhere to see this concert, pending reviews....

i just hope they don't suck it up - thatd be a major disappointment

Well, Bonham is gonna play. Except that it's another Bonham. Pessimist.

[xtremepunk0024]

I just saw John Paul Jones play at Bonnaroo Last weekend. The energy was amazing!! Just imagine if They were all on stage!!!!! I am definately getting tickets!

[Ace_GSA60]

I'm saving my money now.....

[rock_guitargod]

if anyone in England read the SUNDAY MIRROR...it was in there, and jason bonham will be playing drums, altho id rather see dave grohl play he gpot better feel for bonhams work than anyone else

[fenderbender111]

[Blackdog93]

[wholovesthesun]

I wonder how much tickets are gonna cost?

[Blackdog93]

some of them have already been, but what a summer for a finnish hippie like me even if i will "only" see metallica gary moore and uriah heep

[bakes71]

amen

[Blackdog93]

zep will play in europe!!! hallelujah!

[BlackMagic17]

i don't know about anyone else but i love the lack of negative comments.
this is incredibly badass. too bad i probably won't be able to go.

[soul_power]

If they are wehh rehersed and tour then kick ass. Unfortunately i will never afford it...

[some_rock_fan]

cool, cool. too bad it'l probably cost 200 bucks a ticket, and it'l be in europe.

[geetarguy92]

D
:YESSSSS!!!!!
im happy

[sphrth289]

Wow... this is... wow.

[kaptink]

Partly I'm happy but Led Zeppelin Concerts have such a reputation and im worried that this might be a letdown.

[hendrixcrazyfan]

this is incredible news, its like an information orgasm. If i coulod afford it, id fly to london and trade my right leg along with ticket cost just to see this concert, unless they tour, in which case ill wait lol. PLEASE COME TO TORONTO OR LONDON!!!

[v_gamer]

i will deffinetly fly to europe to see it..do u think they would preform stairway live though???

[heartwarmingpie]

Come on Waters and Gilmour, just settle your differences and my life will be complete.

[7thriff]

Why the hell wouild you say that! Its not funny! This must happen!Ive beenwaiting for this for years! yay!

[DownInAHole.]

I'm still not convinced. As much as I wish it would happen, I still think otherwise.

[-heartbreaker-]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
I HAVE DREMPT OF THIS MOMENT FOR FAR TOO LONG.

I WOULD GIVE 1000 DOLLARS FOR A TICKET TO SEE ZEPPELIN!

OH MY GOD!!!! WHY NOT HERE TOO!!!!

Plant can't sing anymore, he sounds like Elmer Fudd. Anyone who's heard him failing miserably to replicate his old stuff on the Unledded knows this is the real reason they haven't reunited yet.

Obviously you haven't heard Jason play, almost exactly like his father.

[Dog454]

Oh my god. Please let there be a DVD! Or a tour!

[Campbell22]

jimmy page had something to the hand that was making unable to play, how can this be possible ?

[CousticStrangla]

I don't even know what to say/ I don't even know what to say. I don't even know what to say.

[kmchipower]

yes, jason seemed like an excellent drummer. of course, the only time i have ever heard him play was during that VH1 show "supergroup".

Yea, they are only 30 years older. Musically it could sound better unless they try new versions of songs. I would hope they would not do that. As being on the stage, their age will definitely show.

[hepzibahbaptist]

YES!That is going to be one awesome concert. I HAVE to go.

Much as I love Zeppelin, this is a big "whatever" to me.

Checked

[daytripper75]

a tour would be amazing, assuming it would come stateside.

[b to the adger]

if they go on tour i would pay however much they wanted for a ticket, considering i would swim across the ocean to get to the uk show.

[Mr. Brawl]

HOLY CRAP THIS JUST MADE MY TEENAGE YEARS. We gotta get a petition or something for them to tour the states.
And how can this be "a big 'whatever'" to you? Are you a fan of classic rock at all?

[OrganGrinder]

They aren't gonna do the states. They're not even gonna tour. It's a one shot deal, and I bet it will fall though or something.


plus this tickets would be like $600 :P

[Hidde]

YES!

Mark my words: I will attend this show.

[BlueOyster23]

Bootleg Central...

[Sick_Boy]

I'm gonna give my left testicle for this.

[Justice-For-All]

That's awesome but it's only one show. They should do a whole tour.

GET READY FOR A WORLD CHANGING EVENT EVERY1.

NOW ALL WE NEED IS PINK FLOYD TO DO IT.

Also i might add. That i also heard from an inside source (read it somewhere) that they may be making a new album.


To be honest i don't see why everyone is soo shocked. Its just like The who (half the who) or queen reunion.

They just aren't the same. Without the original members.

I really want to go to that concert 2
but i think the tickets will me sold in 2 minutes and the prices will be extreme high

[str84ever]

Why is everyone talking like its led zeppelin?

It isn't

Its three members of Led Zeppelin with Bonhams son.

Big woop.

[tilleking]

Wow.

[matsif]

if they go on a US tour I will beg, borrow, and steal all the money I need to go.

and to previous poster, so what? his son is a good drummer too

[HETFIELDHAMMETT]

ITS A RUMOR AND RELIABLE SOURCE (WINK WINK)

i dont care how bad they have gotten they are still one of the best to ever live
i would give just about anything to be at that concert, AND PLS GO ON TOUR GOD PLEASE!

God, tickets will be 1000$+ I guarantee that.

[mercedesisbenz]

a tear just came to my eye.

[bassmanjoe08]

Although this is beyond awesome, I wont get my hopes up. They wont come to Atlantic Canada,and the tickets would be far over my price range.
Jason Bonham, by the way, is an amazing drummer.

[gamble232]

I would Rip out both my kidneys and eat them, with not salt to see them live..... HELL YEA!!!!

HOLY SHIT!

I CANT BELIVE IT!!!!

[GiR 2.0]

Been dazed and confused for so long its not true,
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Lots of people talk and few of them know,
Soul of a woman was created below. yeah!
You hurt and abused tellin all of your lies,
Run around sweet baby, lord how they hypnotize.
Sweet little baby, I dont know where youve been,
Gonna love you baby, here I come again.
Every day I work so hard
Bringin home my hard earned pay
Try to love you baby, but you push me away.
Dont know where youre goin
Only know just where youve been,
Sweet little baby, I want you again.
Been dazed and confused for so long, its not true,
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Take it easy baby, let them say what they will.
Will your tongue wag so much when I send you the bill?

[IlikeMetal]

I'm a big Zeppelin fan, but I honestly don't they should do this. I just think they should leave Zeppelin where it was, there is no need for this concert.

[Zanther]

shut up those who disbelieve in Led Zeppelin's doings, if they want to do a show, they can do a show. Besides, I would give just about anything to go.

[fadingboy]

oh my.

i would do all the things people have detailed here + jump any wall fencing the concert off, if need be, to see this show.

[I'm_Guitarded]

YESYESYES!!!!!
1st sabbath, now zeppelin

REUNION MANIA AT ITS BEST!

That's it, it's the end of the world....this is the last glimpse of joy before the earth gets taken over by chaos.

[lowaxnjackson]

It goes to show, Led Zeppelin are STILL one the most monumental acts in history...
For the record, I would sell YOUR soul, MY soul, and punch a few infants just to see Jimmy Page play live for 10 minutes...one of the last living Rock Gods...oh sweet creeping jesus!!! Doubt theyd stop in good ol Missouri tho :P

[scarfacesuit]

i would murder masses of innocent children and babies to see this concert.

...metaphorically speaking.

however i personally wouldn't oppose to them going on tour, but if they were to release another album, then that would be pushing it for me.

[Rebourne]

I don't care where it is... Road TRIP!

I hope I can get tickets.

[codeblack67]

They should just reform the band with Bonzo's son and start making more music. They're still great musicians, and could still write some awesome songs.

[lead_zeppelin]

WÔÔÔÔÔT!!!

[R0CKER1220]

I will see that tour! (If they have it)

[bigal224]

if y'all don't see them play then go to a letz zep concert. great tribute band i went and saw them and they were awesome - the singer even looked like plant!!! and theyre british!

[Gutch220]

I one off show is fine as a tribute, but there can't be a Zeppelin tour without Bonzo. Even the tribute is just 75% Zeppelin

Please. No Tour!

dave is one of the top drummers today IMO

this is cool. unless tickets were reasonably priced, im not going to go. it would be cool, but there will be a dvd.

[Spankey]

Mass_debator :
So what are the chances of the "Dave Grohl drumming for Zep reunion" rumors coming true?

Jason Bonham would play! And if he didn't I would be so pissed off!

[LunchBx]

Who wouldn't sell their sour for a ticket to that.

[RNRSoldier]

Holy shit... this is a goddamn dream come true. I would do more than sell my soul for a ticket.

[Tyler Durden]

This is AMAZING, I would sell my soul and walk across the country to have the opportunity to see this if it were true!!! My favorite band along with THOUSANDS of others, this would be an amazing treat and honor to see.

[blues_fan14]

this is unbelievable!!!! i hope to god i can get some tickets. dream come true.

[nick83]

thank u god.

[tortillamaster]

i think its good they broke up when they did because if you listen to there later albums you realize they would have been the first synth/country band.

Please explain. I'm genuinely interested

If it did indeed happen, I wouldn't go to the gig, and wouldn't be very interested in concerts in general of old Zeppelin stuff. Plant's voice just can't produce the high stuff like he used to, and I'd rather remember them from their prime. So, I'm not too opposed to it, but it doesn't interest me to see the performance. But that's just my thoughts.

Aaand checked

[marvelboy_04]

oh my gosh! please come to the US!!

[grungeisdead312]

wtf!
awesome...i didnt expect this at all.....

[cat_basket13]

FUCK YOU MARVEL BOY!!! YOURE A GOD DAMN MOTHER FUCKING WASTE OF LIFE!!! FUCK YOURSELF THEN RIDE YOUR GOD DAMN FATHER'S DICK SOME MORE, YOU ASSHOLE PRICK!!! FUCK YOU!!!

[datedog]

Oh my god! Thats awesome! I really hope that they're going to visit Finland or some other Nort-Europe country. Zeppelin is the band, seriously.

[GNRrockslife]

Ugh, I hate how every time there's an article about a possible reunion everyone floods it with tour requests. JUST CAUSE THEY'RE DOING A ONE OFF DOESN'T MEAN THERES GONNA BE A TOUR!!! They're called one off gigs for a reason, duh.

Anyways, great news for people that get to see it if it goes through

check

[Jibbs]

I...I cant breathe...too good of news.....gack...

[Fusanti_RHCP]

im gonna break the chain saying
"meh, so what?"

[ElephantTalk]

i was just thinking Dave Grohl should have joined up that would have ruled.

[Jaw Knee]

Oh My God.

Just DIE ALREADY.

[Moonman13]

This is the best news Ive heard in years!! no exaggeration. God Bless Led Zeppelin!

[blacksabbath7]

thats AWESOME. I hope they do a tour

[rockingleper]

I was too young too young to ever dream of seeing these guys live, but now I EFFING CAN!!HELL YEAH!!!

[Zoso68]

this is possibly the biggest thing to hit the guitar world since...ever

[Zoso68]

i mean...seeing this news is less likely than looking out my window and seeing jesus in my driveway in a volkswagen beelte wearing a dress.

thats true....

i need to see this. tickets will be impossible to get though, if they dont already cost a fortune

[Jibbs]

I'm pretty sure LZ would have some say in the price, I don't think they'd go for the ol' $400 Paul McCartney slip.

So what are the chances of the "Dave Grohl drumming for Zep reunion" rumors coming true?

Yeah Dave Grohl is a good drummer but Jason Bonham deserves to be behind the drum kit if this happens. But if Jason can't then the only guy that I can see filling in Bonham's shoes would be Neil Peart. It would be insane to see Neil Peart drumming to some zeppelin tunes. Him and John Bonham are the greatest dummers of all time in my opinion.

[Kody11]

I absolutely have to see these guys live. I don't care where it is, and how much it will cost me, I want to go!

[Princessofdarkn]

GIVE ME TICKETS NOW!!!

i MUST GO!

[bropark08]

these tickets will be at least $1000 and they will be worth every penny. id say $1000 is cheap for how great the tour will be

[fade_to_black18]

i'm sorry but i disagree with almost all of you. i love zeppelin because they're amazing but this honestly won't be zeppelin. there all really old and out of there prime and they don't have john bonham? and no offense but jason sucks ass... okay some offense but seriously.. it just won't be the same and it hurts me to see them like that. for example look at the picture at the top of this..

thats sad hes so old
but i guess it would be pretty cool to hear some of the old songs and stuff live but just not the same..

RIP John Henry Bonham

[arsonite]

That would be awesome. =D

[johnstoner666]

I creamed! I'd sell my body a ticket! Zeppelin needs to reclaim the throne of rock, they are the best band ever! they are all gods! BUT would it be a world tour? because if they dont come to America ill be T.O.ed!

[gamayshark]

I probably wouldnt my soul for a ticket. I'd sell anyone elses though.

[timmEH]

man i am going
thats all

[johnstoner666]

O and people are saying theyre too old U dont even know! The ****ing rolling stones are still playing, B.B king still plays, Cream had a reunion a couple years back and they sounded great! Zeppelin will rock even if Jason is on drums, if Grohls on drums that would be badass but...not the same, Bonham was far too good!

[Garnavis]

I heard they have some all-new stolen material.

[cpt_pimp]

will it be free like ozzfest???

[MX4Life]

Way to jump on the bandwagon.

Someone is obviously looking to make a buck.

[dookie_dude_]

this is ****ing huge news! the one classic rock band Ill never get tired of.

[Nirvana_RATM2]

So lets so Pink Floyd , Rage , Zeppelin , whats next a gnr reunion? Jesus our world can't handle all this rock!!

[Nick Harper]

I would give up my firstborn, secondborn, and I would sell my soul for tickets to this...

[ihaterap69]

holy freaking hell.

[kirkadolph]

This should not be done. I'm a die hard zeppelin fan, but for those of you who don't see how important Bonham is, go listen to their songs. He fills up so much of the space that Page and Plant leaves open. Him and John Paul Jones are unreplaceable. There is not a single drummer alive that can play the stuff Bonham did.

we know that dude but at least its his son. John taught the kid to play

[NightwishAngel]

Aww man!! I wanna see that so bad!!

Checked.

[jthm_guitarist]

Wow all of the great bands are coming back.

[Sun Child]

Yeah!

[walker-rose]

PLEASE LET THEM DO A TOUR AND COME NEAR SOUTH DAKOTA!

[JimmyPageZoSo56]

where are they gonna be playing?
is it just one show?
i'd sell my soul to see Jimmy Page!
hopefully they play in Minneapolis!!!!!

[Koolcow]

oh my god i am practically crying lol

all i know is that these tickets are going to cost a fortune and if i get to go then i will probably die there from all the raging fans lol

[letsgetrockin82]

Maybe if i get lucky they can come by Iowa or Nebraska cuz that would be awesome

[IHateFallOutBoy]

so shocking i have no comment

[dann_blood]

Jesus Fucking Christ... I can only hope they do a Reunion World Tour... if they do itll make my year...

[matt_fender_3]

dave grohl would be AWESOME to play, just one show. but o well jason is awesome too!

[Mobius Man]

Christ a ticket to this would be so worth my left nut. Perhaps even a half of righty as well.

[stumaster18]

I'd rather keep my left nut.
it's pretty special to me

[ajaxexplorer]

I hope Zeppelin relises how many young fans they have that would kill to see them live.

[Muggus]

I can see this rumour blowing out of proportion quickly...

[16kramer05]

I would deepthroat a walrus to get tickets to this!!!!

But seriously.... man.... I think I just pissed a little. This must be the work of the devil! And I totally agree with you ajaxexeplor that they should realize that they will complete people's lives by touring. God, this is just too good of news! What if it's a hoax?...

All these people saying Zep are jumping on the bandwagon:

a) they're musicians who centred a huge part of their lives around recording and touring under the LZ moniker. Its their baby, and if they want to revisit it, why stop them?

b) it's Led Zeppelin! Any wagon they jump on, they take command of!

Holy freaking christ!

I don't care if I have to pay £500 and travel the country, I am going to a show if they tour.

All these people saying 'they're jumping on the bandwagon'. Who cares? Music these days is so crap - it's good to have some decent bands reforming and touring to provide some decent rock music.

There is a possibility that the tickets won't be that expensive though - think about it, they've said before that if they reformed it wouldn't be about the money, so, as far as page/plant/JPJ are concerned, it doesn't matter what the tickets cost.

This is immense though, I mean Zeppelin re-forming? What's next? Chinese Democracy being released?

File this one under “Communication Breakdown.”

Earlier this week, rumors of a Led Zeppelin one-off reunion show and possible 2008 tour circulated throughout the internet.

Yesterday, at a press conference in Greece for this weekend’s RockWave Festival, headliner Robert Plant denied the rumors and said he hadn’t heard anything about a Zep reunion.

When asked about the one-off show, Plant joked, “I don’t know if there would be enough doctors to support it.”

Previously, sources close to the Zeppelin camp had said that members Jimmy Page, Plant and John Paul Jones were planning to reunite for a memorial concert in London for Ahmet Ertegun, the Atlantic Records founder who died in 2006, and that if all went well, a full Zeppelin tour (with Jason Bonham on drums) would commence next year.

The RockWave Festival is happening June 29 and July 1 and 3, and will feature such artists as Plant, Metallica, Chris Cornell, Europe, Mastodon, My Dying Bride, Heaven and Hell, Dream Theater, Iced Earth and others. For more information, visit rockwavefestival.gr.

[Jimi-is-god]

It will probably be just in the uk( if it isn't im sorry for this remark), also Jon Bonhams
son played for white snake and he was also in that super rock group with sebastian bach and nudge so he is highly regarded!

[eddievh2]

if zeppelin cars for their fans, itll happen

[geetarmuzikplyr]

the titans of metal are to return... this is probably the most amazing news i've heard in along time... those of you who are doubtful of the performances being a letdown, you have to realize that these guys haven't played as Led Zeppeling for almost 30 years... people get older and they start to lose abilities from when they were young... obviously plant's voice is going to be nothing like when he was in his 20's on the first couple of zep records, but you have to go with the attitude that its finally happening and its going to be awesome given the circumstances... they're not getting any younger but its should still be a killer show... the only part that will be missing is the John Bonham Moby Dick solo... maybe Jason could compensate for that with something new... i don't know... but still this is going to be awesome if it happens

"WE'RE GONNA GROOVE"

[Shib]

Not

[Zachm16]

if this happens and i hope to god it does but in 09 because ticket price are gonna go through the roof

[jaggerbush320]

OH MY GOD, if they only do one show that's gonna suck. I'm 14 and if its not anywhere near where I live, which its not gonna be, I'll probably like buy a plane ticket and go see it. basically what I'm saying is that I'll run a way from home in order to see Led Zeppelin. If there's one thing I wanna do before I die its see Zeppelin.

[Tster]

well... it was a lie. Theres gonna be no tour.
