Led Zeppelin?

[joe111]

Right, I know this is unlikely, but last year I remember hearing some small rumors about Led Zep headlining, and I've just heard about the release of some re-issues and 4 unheard songs in June!!!! and with Prince out of the equation now, and nobody really knowing who's going to headline the Saturday, do you guys think there's a chance of them playing??

I think probably not but I can really, really hope.

Isn't Robert Plant's band already playing? Suppose there's nothing stopping him playing twice though

I know people said The Stones were the ultimate, but Led Zep are really the ultimate aren't they? I say this as an enormous Stones fan with only a casual knowledge of Led Zep, I still know they are the giant, they are the one that will make people utterly lose their minds with excitement if they were announced.

No chance. But Robert Plant looks nailed on. Big Glasto shaped gap in his tour.

Think it was mentioned some months ago by Neil that Led Zeppelin were first choice to headline in 2014 (or perhaps I dreamt it). Coupled with Emily Eavis' "dream" line-up comments and it's obvious the festival are keen to pursue them.

Re-issues etc always spark rumours regarding new shows but we've always been left disappointed with Led Zep. Such has been the nature of Robert Plant's abrupt responses to questions of further gigs since that one-off O2 Arena show I would suggest he would sooner do a collaboration with the store manager of the Lidl in Basildon than consider any Glastonbury headline show with Page and JPJ.

Plant will do me fine.

Robert Plant has a pretty extensive tour with the Sensational Space Shifters. He's not just going to slip into Led Zeppelin mode for a weekend in the middle of his tour for an informal little Pyramid headline slot.

So no chance for 2014. I think Led Zeppelin will play again though, somewhere.

[Trebor]

He told Uncut a few months back that he's going to be there with the Shape Shifters, not Led Zep.

I prefer led zep to the Rolling Stones but I think they would get a smaller crowd (still huge though!)

Jason Bonham tweeted months ago that he had some exciting news to break but he was just waiting for confirmation.

It's more likely that he's pregnant than Led Zep reuniting for Glasto this year

Plant & Page secret acoustic gig @ Arcadia on Saturday night..

[dentalplan]

Id say its more likely than ever but I still cant see them playing Glasto

Been saying for a while I can see them playing a gig at Hyde Park or the Olympic Stadium this summer and this makes it more likely.

The fact there is no date over Glastonbury weekend and a gap of a week when the rest of the tour only has 2 or 3 day gaps does get me excited though.

[Englishdragon]

Really? I'm not sure they've ever been less likely.

It all seems pretty calculated to me.

Celebration day comes out last Christmas and sells a ton, a lot of interviews around that time where Plant seemed to be actually having a laugh with Page and Jones, spotify deal at the end of last year and now re-releasing the albums in the middle of summer when all of them are free (Plants solo tour doesnt start until mid june, the albums come out in the first week)

Its all about keeping the interest up and building the hype up for a final set of gigs. Page wants to do it, Jones wants to do, I think Plant is just waiting until the time is right to do it one more time.

[CHRLY]

I'm scared for a situation where they announce a few 'last shows' because I'd be shitting it at the though of getting a ticket

[Englishdragon]

I think there could be a final set of gigs of course, just not this summer. Plant has June and July just about fully booked, with a handful of dates either side of those months. Six days off around Glastonbury is not enough for Robert to click back into Led Zep mode. They'd need months and months of practice to prepare for live shows, as in they'd have already been practicing for a while by now and we know that wouldn't have been kept secret. So if it was calculated then they will have gone back on that idea before the Space Shifters tour started being arranged.

Either way, Glastonbury is definitely out as he's heavily hinted at performing this year but 'not with the band people may want' or something along those lines. Hopefully he's testing the festival out for next year.
