Led Zeppelin to Tour in 2009
Sep 28, 2008 News
The Sun is reporting that Robert Plant finally caved, and Led Zeppelin is going to do a summer tour in 2009. From what I’ve heard, it looks like Jimmy Page, Jason Bonham, and John Paul Jones really wanted to do a tour, but Plant kept holding out. Then, the 3 found a guy who could replace Plant so that they could go on tour. After hearing this, Plant decided that he should be the one to go on tour. In all honesty, I don’t like this guy. Look at his picture on the right. Does he look like a nice man?
Either way though, Led Zeppelin will be touring in 2009. They’ll probably hit a few cities in the United States, so the American fans will be able to get a taste of Led Zeppelin. Looks like summer ‘09 is already heating up!
Unfortunately, Zeppelin Isn’t Touring Soon

If you were to ask the magic 8-ball ‘what are the chances of Zeppelin touring?’, the answer would come back ‘outlook not good’.
Unfortunately, Robert Plant just does not want to tour again with John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page, and Jason Bonham - the son of John Bonham. At least not anytime soon. Robert Plant will be touring with Alison Krauss until at LEAST October 5th. That means we wouldn’t be able to see a Zeppelin reunion until at least November, or possibly December.
If they were to play though, I would hope to God that they played in the United States. After all, the UK already had their chance to see them.
As soon as Plant finishes up with Krauss though, he may or may not want to play with Zeppelin again. We’re not even sure if he wants to play with them again. At this point, we can only hope.
Nothing Is Like Woodstock

In terms of music festivals today, none really parallel Woodstock. However, what I would say to be the closest would be Milwaukee’s Summerfest. Chicago also has Lollapalooza, but I think the bands are terrible. Nine Inch Nails? Come on. However, some people do like it, and I guess everyone has their own opinion.
Woodstock might be semi-recreated though. I heard they were planning a 2009, 40-year anniversary show, with bands like Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Bob Dylan, and others. Hell, maybe even get Led Zeppelin out there!
Hopefully the 40-year anniversary doesn’t suck like the 30-year anniversary did. We shall see though.
