manderlyh Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 http://www.idahostatesman.com/apentertainment/story/287026.html Led Zeppelin heads Bonnaroo lineup - The Associated Press Edition Date: 02/05/08 NEW YORK — The reunited Led Zeppelin will headline the 2008 Bonnaroo Arts and Music Festival, concert organizers announced Wednesday.Led Zeppelin, who reconvened for a single December concert in London, had for months been rumored to be heading to Bonnaroo, which will be held Jun 13-15 on a 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tenn. Confirmation of Led Zeppelin's Bonnaroo performance was sure to stoke further speculation on a possible reunion tour. Last week, guitarist Jimmy Page said he was eager to tour with singer Robert Plant and bassist-keyboardist John Paul Jones. (Jason Bonham, son of late drummer John Bonham, has joined on drums.) Plant will also perform at Bonnaroo with bluegrass star Alison Krauss, with whom he made the hit duet album, "Raising Sand." Led Zeppelin recently released "Mothership," a two-disc compilation. Also scheduled to perform are Metallica, Pearl Jam, Jack Johnson, Kanye West, My Morning Jacket, Willie Nelson, B.B. King, Phil Lesh and Friends, Sigur Ros, the Raconteurs, Against Me! and Death Cab for Cutie. A lineup of comedians performing in the festival's "Comedy Tent" will include Zach Galifianakis, David Cross, Janeane Garofalo, Jim Norton, Mike Birbiglia and Brian Posehn. Tickets to the seventh annual festival go on sale Feb. 16. More acts will be announced later, with an expected total of over 100 bands. Please, please, please don't tell me I'm a nOOb!!!

fortunata811 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I was just posting the same thing and I thought I better check again to see if anyone else was posting it at the same time. AP Wire has had it for just over 10 minutes but the Bonnaroo site is down now so can't check there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rover Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Still Unconfirmed ? ? ? From the Daily News Journal -- Murfreesboro, Tenn. http://dnj.midsouthnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/...NEWS01/80205097 No Led Zeppelin, but Plant & Kraus, Pearl Jam top Bonnaroo The appearance of Krauss, accompanied by her new musical partner, Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant, is likely to fuel the already widespread rumor that the recently reunited Led Zeppelin could perform at Bonnaroo this year. When asked outright, Capps denied that the band would make a surprise appearance. “Believe me, if Zeppelin was going to be there we would be shouting it from the rooftops,” he said, adding that no one would be more surprised than him and his team if the band did perform. The organizers are showing their sense of humor by adding all-female Zeppelin cover band Lez Zeppelin to the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rover Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Or this from the AP Wire: Metallica Headlines Bonnaroo Lineup NEW YORK (AP) — Metallica and Pearl Jam will headline the 2008 Bonnaroo Arts and Music Festival, concert organizers announced Wednesday. The seventh annual festival will be held June 13-15 on a 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tenn. Notably absent from the announced slate was Led Zeppelin, who has for months been rumored to be heading to the festival. The British band reunited in December for a single show and speculation has abounded that a world tour is possible. Last week, guitarist Jimmy Page said he wanted to tour with singer Robert Plant, bassist John Paul Jones and drummer Jason Bonham, who replaced his father, John, who died in 1980. Instead, Plant will be heading to Bonnaroo with bluegrass star Alison Krauss, with whom he made the hit duet album, "Raising Sand." The festival organizers, alluding to the Led Zeppelin reports, trumpeted a performance by the cover band Lez Zeppelin at the festival. Also scheduled to perform are The Allman Brothers Band, Kanye West, Jack Johnson, My Morning Jacket, Willie Nelson, B.B. King, Phil Lesh and Friends, Sigur Ros, the Raconteurs, Against Me! and Death Cab for Cutie. A lineup of comedians performing in the festival's "Comedy Tent" will include Zach Galifianakis, David Cross, Janeane Garofalo, Jim Norton, Mike Birbiglia and Brian Posehn.

Honeydripper Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Ah ha!!!! Gotcha!!! LEZ Zeppelin is performing NOT LED Zeppelin! The AP is as trustworthy as the E channel nowadays. Until you see a press conference w/ the 3 remaining members....don't believe a fucking thing about any of the rumors....because until that said conference, that's all the news will ever be.

solar Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Someone likely saw "Lez Zeppelin" and mistakenly thought it was "Led Zeppelin."

fortunata811 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Sorta of the Zeppelin equivalent of "Dewey Defeats Truman" headline by the Chicago Daily Tribune. A moment of elation then crushed again...now it's time for a good chuckle because it's pretty funny that they would confuse Led Zeppelin with Lez Zeppelin.

solar Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 For the record, here's the mandatory kill notice from AP: "Eds: RECASTS thruout to CORRECT lineup does not currently include Led Zepplin." The story was up and out there for 17 minutes and quickly was killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
