Lez, not Led, Zeppelin to play Bonnaroo in US

It was the news all Led Zeppelin fans were waiting to hear; the legendary rockers had lined up another performance that would surely herald the start of a worldwide reunion tour.

Newswires were quick to jump on the line-up announcement for the 2008 Bonnaroo Arts and Music Festival, with the Associated Press and Press Association foreign wires announcing that Led Zeppelin had signed to a long-rumoured appearance at the US extravaganza.

Lez Zeppelin, not to be confused with Led Zeppelin

The Telegraph was among the news outlets swept along by the reunion excitement.

But if it all sounded too good to be true, that's because, well, it transpires that it was.

Closer examination of the line-up details showed that it's not Led Zeppelin the festival has signed, it's Lez Zeppelin. That's the all-female tribute act and most certainly not the world-famous rockers.

Led-Zeppelin Heads Bonnaroo Lineup 8 hours ago NEW YORK (AP) — 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. http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jXic ... wD8UKK3O80

I highly recommend spending a few extra bucks, and getting the VIP tickets.

Anyone still planning on going? Even without Zeppelin there a ton of great artists. Robert Plant Metallica Pearl Jam My Morning Jacket Allman Brothers Jack Johnson Phil Lesh and Friends BB King The Raconteurs Bela Fleck Umphrey's Yonder Mountain String Band Derek Trucks Darkstar Orchestra Donovan Frankenreiter Little Feat Chris Rock from the comedy side of it would be cool to see too. Overall it sounds like it'll definitely be worth it and looks like one of the better music festival lineups this summer
