By now, you’ve read David Fricke’s concert review, perused the post-show aftermath and watched the fan footage on YouTube. So what’s next for Led Zeppelin? As soon as Jimmy Page rested his guitar following “Whole Lotta Love,” tour rumors started swirling. According to Gigwise, who cites a non-existent story on NME.com (at least we couldn’t find it), Led Zeppelin is in talks to play two shows at London’s Wembley Stadium, per two “industry insiders.” Those “industry insiders” may be the same anonymous sources who leaked that Led Zeppelin will play this summer’s Bonnaroo festival. Well, they were a quarter-right: Reports now indicate that Robert Plant and Alison Krauss will perform at the Tennessee fest as part of the Raising Sand tour. But then there’s the biggest rumor of them all, courtesy of British newspaper The Sun via Blabbermouth via NME, which said backstage banter between bandmembers led to one of them admitting he wants to return to the States to play three shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden, the site of the concert flim The Song Remains the Same. While all these rumors remain just that, the fact is Led Zeppelin mania has returned — the band’s merchandise and discography has enjoyed a significant increase of sales in the weeks leading up to, and the days following, their O2 Arena concert.
