Led Zeppelin will tour in 2008, the band that has been booked as their opening act has revealed.
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 17th, 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 has yet to announce official details of any new tours.
However, speaking about their reunion on December 10th, guitarist Jimmy Page has revealed the band will play one of their songs live for the first time ever.
The guitarist said that his band will perform a track they have never played live before at their forthcoming O2 Arena show in London on December 10th.
Speaking to Reuters, Page gave a vague clue as to the period the song comes from--although he offered a 12-year time zone.
"There's one number that we rehearsed, I assume that it will make it to the Dome, that we never played at any point in time," he explained. "It dates from when the band was together between 1968 and 1980. It's a really intense number."
