Without fail, there's always some rumor every few years that Led Zeppelin has been offered a ton of money to reunite for some major show or festival. The most recent rumor was about the band reuniting for the 2019 Glastonbury Festival, which of course did not materialize.
So what are the actual chances of Led Zeppelin reuniting for a show? According to guitarist Jimmy Page on BBC Radio 2 (via NME), it's probably not going to happen. Page said the band originally had plans to tour in 2007 after their reunion show at The O2, but it just didn't come together.
"At the time of The O2, we thought — myself, John Paul Jones and Jason [Bonham] — that there was going to… it was said that there were gonna be some more dates. It would've been really good to have done that after the O2, 'cause we'd put a lot of work into The O2 and we were really on it, y'know? But it didn't come off."
"It seems really unlikely that there would be a tour in the future. Unlike The Rolling Stones, they do sort of know that the fans love that — also I know that with Led Zeppelin [fans too]. But it doesn't look as though there’s anything in the future, unfortunately.
"We're talking about a concert that was gigantic at the time, but that was 2007: time passes, y'know?"
Page made headlines earlier this week when an unreleased The Rolling Stones track featuring his guitar work surfaced.
