This news totally gives me the 'orn.

will i need to take out a personal loan to afford this?

I call bullshit.
prove me wrong.

It's the nuts for sure.

This is not true. You've been sold a bill of goods.

Sorry Kat, its just not true. Its school holidays in August and we never tour then.

I believe it when tickemaster emails me....make sure you have a passport to enter Canada....

Actually just joking!

We are in the middle stages of securing the venues. Can't wait to get out and see all the fans!

ok a half hour away from me that would do if it were true

well if it is true, then it will be at the end of augest or 4 dates not together. If you look at the events calender, for augest its pretty full. The blue jays , argos and even buffalo bills have dates that month. So if true then there are only a few days left, augest 2,3,11,12,13,16,17,18, and the 24 thru the 31

4 nights at Madison Square Garden? Sure. 4 nights at the "Rogers Center/Skydome"? Ain't happening.

I'll be doing the vocals on Battle of Evermore again so see ya soon matea!!!!

Can this really be true? I hope it is, 'cause I wasn't around when Bonzo was alive.

Well, I can tell you it's not our band booked for those dates. But I'm a huge Led Zeppelin fan, and I really hope it's those guys. If so, I'll be there for sure! But won't Robert still be on tour with Alison Krauss? Sounds fishy.

Not if *I* have anything to do with it!

Bob, if you're not around I'll be waiting in the wings.

Hmmmm...

I knew it was to good to be true

Robert, you've got to "milk" our partnership dry first. Then go off and play with your retirement buddies.

wtf no-one invited me again

I'll keep an eye on those bloody bootleggers.

I'd rather smoke me old man than watch *them* wankers flailing about in their dotage!

You stole my band Keef....

Much as I would like this story to be true, I must tell you that, regretably, there are no firm plans for a tour at this time.

We've all agreed that it might be fun to play together again but as you know, Robert is off on his own tour with Alison Kraus until at least August, so we'll have to wait and see what he feels like doing after that. I do hope that we can have a band meeting before then to at least discuss the possibility of doing another show or two. And maybe put to rest those recurring rumours about which band would open for us before, say, the Spice Girls jump on the bandwagon and claim that they are waiting for a call from Jimmy. Here's a hint: We don't use opening acts. So I'm afraid any hopes of a quadruple bill featuring Velvet Revolver, The Cult, David Coverdale and Led Zeppelin will be dashed.

But I would certainly love to play with Jimmy, Robert and Jason again.

Actually the rumours are not entirely wrong. However the city is wrong. The actual city is the same one that Led Zeppelin kicked off two their world tours. Vancouver is the city where Zeppelin wil be doing 4 shows. One at Pacific Colisuem, one at General Motors Place, one at BC Place, and the 4th will be a spot at a festival somewhere near Whistler. Jimmy Page actually owns a house in West Vancouver, as well as the remaining band members own land on Keats Island.

Good news as the ticket price will be $100 for all the tickets. There will be no corporate tickets as 99% of all tickets will go to the public.

Extra safeguards against scalpers will be taken. Only credit cards within a one hundred mile radius of the venue will be honoured on the first day of sales.

Ticket distribution will be a lottery. When you arrive at the venue, you present the credit card that was billed for the tickets. The tickets are printed and that is when you find out the exact location of your assigned seats. This will also deter scalper's profit margins as no one will know the exact seat location until the ticket is claimed.

Once you have your ticket printed, you will directly enter the venue.

That's no secret as that is exactly how the lottery was drawn for the O2 show. Kudos to Led Zeppelin sans John Bonham for being aware of the scalping issue and nipping it in the bud.

If they come to Toronto in August I will eat my shorts....k?

Oh they're comin'..you can already feel the earth shaking.

I will refinance my home to take my grandson to Canada to see Zepplin anytime
thats a given.

I live in Vancouver but have some trouble believing somthing like this, even though bands/artists like the Police, U2, Janet Jackson and Aerosmith have used Vancouver in the past as a 'launch site' for tours or studio work. The festival near Whistler could be the Pemberton fest but that is in late July so not going to happen thereat least.
