Led Zeppelin to Play Four Toronto Shows This August?

Led Zeppelin will reportedly play four shows in Toronto this summer at the Skydome/Rogers Centre stadium this August. A "reliable source" tells MuchMusic that the dates will be announced shortly. No other shows will be announced, and the band apparently will not tour in the U.S., according to the report.Rumors of a Led Zeppelin tour have ballooned since December, when the three surviving original members and drummer Jason Bonham performed a two-hour concert at London's O2 Arena as part of a tribute to the late Atlantic Records co-founder Ahmet Ertegun. Guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones seemed eager at the time to continue the reunion, with singer Robert Plant widely viewed as the lone holdout.
Plant is touring through to September with singer Alison Krauss in support of their 2007 disc, 'Raising Sand.' However, Plant has not dismissed performing with Zeppelin in the future. "I really enjoyed it. And hopefully, one day we could do it again for another really, really good reason," Plant told Uncut following that gig. After exiting the stage at the conclusion of that show, bassist John Paul Jones admitted, "it felt like the first night of a tour."
"You think, 'Oh, I could do that a bit better, or change something in that song,'" Jones added. "And we didn't get a chance to do any more." The band has supposedly been offered as much as $200 million for a full tour.
