Led Zeppelin One Time Reunion Gig Set For London

September 12, 2007 at 9:33 AM | 0 Comments

Rock legends Led Zeppelin are set to announce a one time comeback concert today, nearly three decades after breaking up. Of course Plant and Page have joined forces a number of times over the years to mixed reviews. However, this gig, slated for November at London's 02 Arena will include Page, Plant, and John Paul Jones -- Jason Bonham, son of John, will be on drums completing the quartet.

The group split in 1980 after the death of drummer John Bonham and have performed only a scant few reunion gigs, last taking the stage 12 years ago at their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

London's O2 Arena is part of the Millennium Dome on the Greenwich Peninsula, in South East London, and holds up to 23,000. Tickets will no doubt go fast, and it looks like the O2 arena web site is already down due to heavy traffic, so make your travel arrangements soon.

Van Halen Reunion Tour Coming This Fall

August 14, 2007 at 10:04 AM | 0 Comments

Van Halen announced their 25-date North American tour, which was postponed back in March when Eddie entered rehab, is on for this fall. The always loquacious, sometimes lead singer, David Lee Roth said the reunion could lead to a world tour and a new album. Let's just wait and see how the current band, comprised of three Van Halens and a Roth, works together on the road this fall before proclaiming world tours and dropping albums.

The tour will start in Charlotte, at Bobcats Arena, and mid-size arenas will be the norm for this tour -- think anywhere an NBA team plays. The tour concludes in early December with three dates in Canada.

If you are planning to travel to see the reconstructed Van Halen, you should know original bassist Michael Anthony has been replaced by Van Halen's 16-year-old son, Wolfgang. We are guessing that means you will be able to see the Frankenstrat guitar, but not the Jack Danies bass.
