Led Zeppelin to Play Bonnaroo 2008

Q: What do Stewart Copeland and John Paul Jones have in common?

A: They both played Bonnaroo without the bands that made them famous, only to return to the festival alongside their famous bandmates to headline the festival.


Early this morning, Bob Lefsetz revealed, from a reader letter to his Mailbag, that the reunited Led Zeppelin will be one of the headliners at next years Bonnaroo in June 2008. I have no reason to believe this rumor, but I also have no reason not to. After all, how do you follow-up previous Roo headliners Radiohead and The Police? By going after the band with the biggest buzz today. With Bonnaroo as the richest festival in the world, they certainly have the money to pay for whoever they want...Led Zeppelin included. Oh, and also of note, the email mentions that Metallica will be a headliner as well.

The real impact of having Led Zeppelin on the Bonnaroo festival bill will be known once all the tourdates for Zep are released. If they are making a large number of stops in the US, then this will be less of an event and less people will be coming to Tennessee just because they want to see the reunited Zeppelin. But it would certainly be the biggest 'get' yet for the organizers of the event and it could just sell out with the annoucement of one band.

Let's see if this rumor gains any traction in the near future.

I don't think it would be announced if they were to play Bonnaroo. Why would they want to sell out such an original crowd? It would sell out the first day tickets are released, and people who want to come for more than that wouldn't have to much of a chance, but don't get me wrong, it would be amazing.

If you were to read when this was posted, you'd see that we wrote this 6 months ago when there were rumors flying everywhere about LED Zeppelin playing Bonnaroo. I caught some of LEZ Zeppelin's set on Thursday night and they were very very good.
