Led Zeppelin fans worldwide have been collectively churning a recent mega-rumor: that the band could reunite for a concert, possibly in 2018, and possibly at the Desert Trip festival in California to celebrate the band's 50th anniversary.
Speculation was set off by a cryptic post to lead-singer Robert Plant's website: "Any time now..."
Then the fire was really set by a brief post at Feel Numb.

With Glenn Shorrock?
LINK WRAY is the only person to have an instrumental banned from radio airplay. It was feared that his song RUMBLE would incite teenage violence.
Link Wray, Rumble , 1958.
“But onstage visually The Who were a much better band to watch than Zeppelin.”
Never saw Zep - but from what I have seen via videos I would agree with you . Saw The Who once , at Woodstock . I was 17 and hitch hiked with a friend from eastern CT .
indeed - there are some activities one stops when reaching a certain age.
Skin tight jeans at 70 for example
Moon coined the phrase Led Zeppelin. Beck’s Borlero was the tune with Ox and Moon
John Paul Jones is the most under rated musician.
How could they turn down $100m for 50 shows?
Robert said no, but I think he was just the designated bad guy. You are no better than your last encore and could they nail it every night for 50 shows? Not likely.
“I grew up hearing about Led Zeppelin. Here all this time, I thought it was a man, not a group!”
Ha! I took Frank Zappa to a club in Milwaukee. We set up a meet and greet line. I introduced people to Frank. One pretty yoing gal asked me, “Is that really Mr. Zeppelin?” I introduced her, “Donna, this is Mr. Zeppelin.” Frank took it well, but his bodyguard, John, totally lost it. John and I called Frank Mr. Zeppelin for the next three days.
I have the CD of Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, No Quarter (1994), and the vocals suck. I don’t think I care if there is a 3/4 reunion.
hey...speak for yourself.
My jeans didn’t start out skin tight, but that’s where they are at now....
I have to give credit to Zeppelin for enhancing my wayward youth.
Oohhh...and flashback to a major argument with my mother about not letting me drive 200 miles to see Zep in Tampa when I was in high school.
We all get old and not look so good with shirt off anymore.
“Why ABBA Turned Down $1 Billion To Reunite In 2000 “
I don’t care why, I just say thank God.
You should only hope to be such a geezer. :-)
Of course, and I’m just kidding around, I don’t care what he does, really...... I certainly wouldn’t have gone open shirt on a stage at any age!
