Led Zeppelin Refuse Offer to Headline Download Festival

 Writer: Ian S. Russell


With the latest additions to the Download Festival 2010 line-up being announced last-night the festival world has once again seen an eruption in activity - all be it slightly disapointed activity from what I've seen.

To add to that disapointment, Andy Copping - the key figure from the Download Festival booking commity, has confirmed that Rock Legends Led Zeppelin turned down an offer to headline this years festival.

In an interview with XFM he made the following comments on the subject:
“Every single festival in the world approaches Led Zeppelin or their management to get them to pay at their festival,” Copping told XFM. “Loads of money gets thrown out. It’s not what they want to do at the moment and that’s fine. They probably never will, but everyone has a stab at it.”

Led Zeppelin have been on hiatus since there 1 off reunion gig in December 2007, it is said that Jimmy Page is very anxious to return to the live stage, but with Plant working on a new album, fans may have a while to wait.
