Led Zep to replace U2?

[ukslim]

I should say, since I've been called a cretin and a troll...

If Led Zep played, I'd pretty much feel obliged to see them. I just think I'd come away disappointed.

[sifi]

I don't see anything wrong with bands who play in a blues tradition playing songs partly written by blues legends like the Lemon Song is. But then I love Howlin' Wolf's Killing Floor. Which is what it is fundamentally.

[Rossc88]

If Led Zep wouldn't play originally, why is everyone thinking their going to play now?

[plaskins]

Because Jimmy Page said not to rule anything out, I suppose.

Although I don't think it will happen.

[Pinhead]

A friend of mine, and regular Glasto punter, who was lucky enough to work with Plant at a recent gig got the chance to talk to him during rehersals and ask him whether he was likely to be appearing in any shape or form at the festival. His reply at the time, was that he was going to be there, but was 'collaborating with a number of other artists'. At least this could be seen to lend weight to the possibility of him being there. The jump from that to a Zep renunion however is a bigger one.

I think everyone should just be a little realistic, as much as Led Zep playing would be the best thing in the world, its not going to happen, the longer this thread goes on, the more disappointed people are going to be when it doesn't happen.

[Funkyfairy!]

Dizzee will be increased to headliner and Pink will be placed in the line up second onto Dizzee

[dan89]

he sounded game to feature at glasto in some way before havin talks with michael eavis?

surely now that all the rest of led zep are up for going there too and that its a good cause of helping out the best festival in glasto ,and one that gives a shag loada money to different charities?.

if anything this one set at glasto could enhance them even more,itle be legendary,the glasto crowd will blow led zep away and likewise led zep blowin the crowd away!.

if not then macca can go on and do another brilliant set full of classics

[twig14]

Are gorillaz able to play on a stage with such a tight schedule? Don't they need ages (as in, even longer than most bands) to set up their set, and if so, probably be tough to fit them into the existing Pyramid Stage schedule.

[thelizardking]

If only there was longer notice for rehearsal times. Unless of course playing in Led Zep is like learning to ride a bike.

Led zep is the dream.

paulie Mac is a strong possibility that would be enjoyable.

aslong as its not coldplay or dizzie rascal then ile be pleased.

ile prob get a lil typsy and see bootleg beatles if its not Macca or by some divine miracle Led Zep!.

[stf]

hmmmm.... just listened to the 6 music podcast with the rumour starting line from Jimmy Page

podcast

alas it is literally what was tweated "I never ruled anything out" but not in a wink wink nudge nudge way, just a never say never way....

hmmm....

[youngatheart]

Simply wont happen dont get excited closest we will get is either plant in some form or TCV .

[farewellandgoodnight]

If you listen to the podcast what he actually says is that he didn't ever rule anything out after the O2. Doesn't hint at being available for Glasto unfortunately.

[CardiffWanderer]

Prince seems the most logical to me...

he might not get the money he'd 'like', but I'm sure the exposure he'd get would be tempting

[Tugger2k]

I agree Prince would be fantastic, but "the most logical"?! If only that were true.

Think I read somewhere that he charged some fantastic sum last time he played a festival - Monterey Jazz? - so I can't see him doing it, least of all at this stage.

[rexclark]

If Led Zep headlined I doubt I'd go see them, just can't get into them at all.

[frankie boy]

No one has mentioned the chemical brothers?

Whats with the whole glastonbury tweet by one of them band (forgeet the name)

Hope I got the tweet thing right.
