Alick Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 This in finnish news today: "According to reliable sources Led Zeppelin will perform in Finland in late summer 2009 as part of their world tour". The rest of the news is just reminiscent of their previous gig in Finland in 1970 and general info of the band, no details of other shows. But you get the point. The dream is coming true.

Aquamarine Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I figured out that "drummer" in Finnish is "rumpali." I like that, for some reason. But anyway, "according to reliable [unnamed] sources" isn't exactly a confirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyway, "according to reliable [unnamed] sources" isn't exactly a confirmation. There is no confirmation yet on the Achilles Last Stand website at led-zeppelin.org. I'll be checking the website from time to time. This would be major news if its true. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. ROCK ON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alick Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Maybe I did exaggerate about the confirmation, but this news is all over finnish media now. Another online newspaper says (again according to a reliable source) that LZ will announce the tour details in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxie Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 This is similar to the "4 shows in Toronto" rumor a few months ago. 2 months from now another city will supposedly host a Led Zeppelin reunion show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alick Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 I CALL BULLSHIT. Whatever. If it was in the US news first you'd have no problem believing it. The way I see it, there is just 1 place in Finland Zeppelin could perform: the Helsinki Olympic Stadium, which holds 50 000+. The stadium must be booked well beforehand as it hosts many big acts every year, and f.ex. the soccer World Championships qualifying games etc. Therefore some people not connected to booking agencies and such will definately know about it. I believe that's where the news came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHD Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I would be astounded if this was true. And not just because it's Finland, I would feel the same if the news were from any part of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the Hill People Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 This will happen right after Kid Rock stops going to strip clubs, Peter Doherty actually does something that would entitle being called a musician like "making music" & Dane Cook tells a funny joke.

danelectro59 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I would be astounded if this was true. And not just because it's Finland, I would feel the same if the news were from any part of the world. We should all be so hopeful, but being the devil's advocate here, I would think any news of Zep playing anywhere on the planet live, would spread over the newswires like a wildfire in California. It's that big. So, not to discount Alick, I have to question the validity of the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunChild Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hey, is there any way we can have the naysayers and the people who have ocean front property in Arizona go to the end of the line for tickets when a tour is announced? Or at any rate, have the people who are actually hoping for it to happen and who will be at least a little happy when it does get first crack at tickets?

Harvey, darling, you keeping track of who's who, here? There's a big difference though in saying you don't think this IS a confirmed announcement, and saying you HOPE it isn't a confirmed announcement, though! Many people are hoping for it to happen and just don't want to set themselves up for disappointment, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alick Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Some info about the source; The Voice TV is owned and operated by the SBS Broadcasting Group, based in London, so it's not some small finnish site looking for publicity. I would assume they'd remove the article if it was not correct. And about the subject in general; it's been 9 months since the O2 and Robert Plant has not said LZ will definately not tour. Either LZ will tour or he has not made up his mind yet, which I don't believe as the tour preparations take months. The only reason I can think of is he will not want the LZ hype interfere with the tour he's on at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternal light Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Well, I've always wanted to visit Finland. Most certainly. I would assume they'd remove the article if it was not correct. If they knew it was incorrect, but it is hard to be sure if they received correct information. I know, let's ask Robert Plant. Maybe he knows. It would be an excellent question for his very next interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
