Robert Plant's 2018 Aussie Gigs Are The Closest We'll Get To A Led Zeppelin Reunion

If you, like so many others, are holding out for a Led Zeppelin reunion, then you should be seriously thinking about getting a ticket to one of rock royalty Robert Plant's 2018 Australian gigs now because that's as close as you're gonna get. 

The revered frontman is set to hit the country next year with his band The Sensastional Space Shifters in support of Bluesfest 2018 and some newly-announced sideshows in what will be Zeppelin's 50th anniversary since their first-ever performance, but in a new interview, Plant says there are no plans for the iconic rockers to reunite. 

Speaking with the Telegraph (via NME), the 69-year-old singer said there is little chance Zeppelin will ever reform again. 

"You can't ever really go back. It's tough enough repeating yourself with something that’s a year old, never mind 49 years old," he said.

"I've got to keep moving."

Plant has confirmed however that he will perform some of Zeppelin's biggest hits during the Australian tour to celebrate the 50th anniversary.

Other names announced on the first Bluesfest line-up for 2018 includes Lionel Richie, Tash Sultana and The New Power Generation.
