It has been rumored that Led Zeppelin will be headlining (alongside Metallica) at 2008’s Bonnaroo Music and Arts festival in Manchester, TN.

Led Zeppelin, arguably the greatest rock and roll band of all time, have not played together since the early 1990’s. They recently announced a one-off tribute show at O2 Arena in London for the late Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegün.

Over 20 million fans from all over the globe requested tickets to the December 10 show. As of today it will cost at least $2,000+ dollars to buy a ticket on the resale market.

Like The Police in 2007, Led Zeppelin’s decision to headline “the largest hippy festival in the world,” frequented by college students on summer break is a great way to introduce themselves to a new (read: younger) group of hardcore fans.

The four-day festival begins June 12, and the official Bonnaroo website says tickets will go on sale in March of 2008. Start saving now.
