Led Zeppelin confirm reunion gig

The surviving members of legendary rock group Led Zeppelin are to reform for a star-studded tribute concert in London. Singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones will play at the show to remember the late Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun. The one-off concert, the trio's first performance for 19 years, will take place at the O2 arena on 26 November.

Tickets will cost £125 and be allocated by ballot. Pete Townshend, Bill Wyman and Paolo Nutini will also perform.

Ertegun, who signed Led Zeppelin in 1968, died last year.

The place of Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, who died in 1980, will be taken by his son Jason.

1. I predict it will suck large.
Because I can't go. Dammit. I hope it sucks out loud.

Actually, I bet it will be freakin' incredible.

2. Seeing how they pretty much sucked the times I saw them
I am guessing it will probably do the same.

3. No...
Unless they can somehow resurrect Bonham.

Having JPJ back in the mix will help, but Plant's voice ain't what it used to be.

5. Didn't care about them then, don't care now.
It's just not my thing.

I've got lots of friends that will be very excited I'm sure.
