Apparently this is due to be confirmed in the next week. There was advertisements in todays UK newspapers with hotel and ticket deals - on Planet Rock radio this evening they said that they called the record company who told them that the advertisements were released early in error, but things will be confirmed in the next week.

The band will be Page, Plant, Jones and Jason Bonham on the kit.

Thoughts on this?

I wont believe it until i hear the words coming out of Robert Plant's mouth!

    The only doubts I'd have would be Jimmy Page and whether he could still do it. But check out John Paul Jones at the recent Bonaroo festival on Youtube, he's better than ever without a doubt!

    VV was right! She always is! :)

    I saw Jimmy Page with the Black Crows a few years ago, and when it was time for a Page solo, he stepped forth and RIPPPPPPED!!!! It was amazing.
    He actually looked good and healthy, and had a little weight on his bones, too.

    What fucking water do they need to test? People jizz at the mere thought of a Zep reunion.

    JPJ was at Bonnaroo this year. Maybe he'll pull a Stewart Copeland and get the band to play there next year.

    The only way it would work is if they would rework the tunes the way Plant does at his solo shows. His vocals have changed so much since 1980. He's lost a lot of his range, even since the Page & Plant shows in the 90's.

    I think I'd much rather see Plant and the band he had on his last tour than a Zepp reunion. Playing the different arrangments and oddball tracks is worlds interesting than Zepp by numbers a nostallgia tour would most likely be.

    Gonna disagree with who's_pearljam as well. While the Page & Crowes tour was a fun tour, I thought Page's playing was less than stellar. He was always more of a studio guitarist than a live guitarist, and time hasn't been too kind to him.

    I hope my baby gets here soon then. I have promised to sell my unborn child if what is left of Zeppelin reunites.

    I have witnessed Page and Plant, but Jonesy adds sooooo much. Hopefully Bonzo's boy can at least come within the same galaxy.

    i'd go for sure.... but i don't see any reason why after this much time has passed that they would finally do this unless they needed the bucks and that doesn't sound right they should be loaded. i'm not complaining i just would be baffled by their decision to go ahead with this. if of course this rumor is true, these things have been rumored since 1980 and never have they come together under the zeppelin name. i think robert plant believes the name is cursed.
