Ian Astbury, lead singer of The Cult, has confirmed that they have been roped in to support the recently-reformed band on a jaunt next year.According to Billboard, during a gig in Cincinnati on November 17, Astbury said: "We'll be back next year, because we're opening for a band you may have heard of. The name starts with an 'L' and has a 'Z' in it."Hearing the announcement, a fan in the audience shouted, "Led Zeppelin." Astbury nodded an affirmative response, and raised an arm into the air.Led Zeppelin are yet to announce official details of any new tours. However speaking about their reunion on December 10, guitarist Jimmy Page has revealed the band will play one of their songs live for the first time ever.Keep checking NME.COM for the latest on the Led Zeppelin reunion and in the meantime read our brief history of Led Zeppelin online now.http://www.nme.com/news/led-zeppelin/32664 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For them to tour with zep is probably there comeback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zint Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 If they are enjoying playing together as much as the reports say...why not do some more gigs?I tend to think it will be a somewhat exclusive tour though.The Cult opening?...I wouldn't have a problem with that.I saw them in Orlando at the House of Blues a couple of weeks ago and they were pretty damn good!(I caught Ian Astbury's tambourine when he threw it into the crowd)Although,I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being "an evening with Led Zeppelin".Regardless...any opportunity I get to witness this,I'll be there...somehow....somewhere.....if it really does happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 The Cult rule. If Zeppelin can't get a record out after all this time, they should just say they aren't going to do it.Firewoman you're to blame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDeeds Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 But Robert Plant has a tour booked for next year with Allison Krauss.But if they went, why not have an opening act? I don't care who it is, it helps to build up the last-minute anticipation. Besides, with tickets probably costing $500-$700, then $1,500+ for VIP, I think you deserve more than one band.

I almost guarantee the price of a so-so ticket will be over $350 if they do tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it would be nice, but people would give up their left arm to see Led Zeppelin on a ticket at any price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I would say they're a little past their prime. Do you really think it's worth $25-50 a live song from each person in the audience every night? Come on. That's a fortune.
