Led Zeppelin to reunite for one show only

Reuniting for ONE NIGHT ONLY, Led Zeppelin announced a show to be performed on November 26th in London at the O2 arena, which means some lucky folks are going to get their faces rocked off in the UK.

The band made the decision in order to raise money for the Ahmet Ertegun Education Fund, a charity that pays for college scholarships in the United States, the United Kingdom and Turkey. Named after recently deceased founder of Atlantic Records, Ahmet Ertegun, the band's choice to play the show is seen as an homage to Ertegun, who helped further Zep's career.

Original members Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones will perform, and Jason Bonham, son of deceased drummer John Bonham, will play in his father's place.

If you want to go to the show, tickets are only a measley 125 pounds, or about 250 U.S. dollars. The tickets will be distributed by lottery, and registration for the lottery can be found at AhmetTribute.com.

The site has been clogged since the announcement, probably crashing the servers into web traffic hell.

Good luck!
