Big music news today. Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page told AP Tokyo moments ago that Led Zeppelin will TOUR! … starting around September!

NO WAY!!!

”The amount of work we put into O2 was what you would normally put into a world tour anyway,” said Page.

The world tour wil begin with in the southern U.S. this spring. They will tour Europe in May before returning for the US for June and July dates to be announced!

”We wanted people who might not have even been alive in 1980 when we finished to understand what we were … But we did the show, and it was great, …. It was instant in terms of chemistry.”

As lalate first reported to you in November, Led Zeppelin is set to return to the stage for the first time in 19 years. Tonight, it will happen.

Billed as the biggest event of the year, some 20 million people sought to purcahse the 18,000 tickets, priced at $250 each, for the show at London’s O2 Arena tonight Monday.

But whether it will ever happen again after tonight, don’t cross your fingers. Taking the stage are original members Page, 63; John Paul Jones, 61, and Robert Plant, 59. New is Jason Bonham, 41, to take the place of his father, John Bonham, who died in 1980.

But whether there could be any future tours, Page has said he wants to, Jones has been noncommittal and Plant has said “Don’t ask.”

How big is this event? One person paid $170,000 for two tickets!

Led Zeppelin is having their reunion gig in London December 10 at OC, and now one man has bought two tickets for the tune of $170,000 ! WOW

The tickets, sold for charity, are to Zeppelin’s OC one time concert. Normal tickets started at $250 (if you could get them). After online sales crashed the website’s servers, the concert’s promoter called the December one-time gig the “largest demand for one show in history”.

How many people?

Reportedly 1 billion page impressions for just 20,000 tickets!

Other acts will include Pete Townshend, Paul Rodgers, Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings, Paolo Nutini, and Foreigner.

The charity winner who paid $170,000 is Kenneth Donell.
