Well, I sure hope none of you got your hopes up about a Led Zeppelin reunion at this year’s Desert Trip (a.k.a. “Oldchella”). , Despite recent rumors to the contrary, it doesn’t look like it’s gonna happen, according to Billboard:

“Gary Tovar, the founder of AEG’s Goldenvoice promotion unit, told The Guardian in an interview last month that ‘we’d like to bring up the Led [Zeppelin], if you know what I mean,’ fueling the rumors even though Tovar is no longer part of the company.

“But there’s no deal in place to get Led Zeppelin’s surviving members — Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones — back together, sources say, while AEG hasn’t announced another Desert Trip festival for this year.

“The promise on Mr. Plant’s website, meanwhile, is more likely a tease to a forthcoming album than to an upcoming performance, sources tell Billboard.”

Metal Injection notes that “the rumors have some weight to them” and that “there’s no deal in place” doesn’t mean “it’s definitely not happening.” Which is fair; it’s entirely possible that the band, or one of the band’s members, is holding out for a better deal. So we’ll see.

Just maybe don’t put ALL your eggs in this basket, okay?
