Following Led Zeppelin’s reunion show last night (December 10) at the O2 Arena in London, thousands of fans have called for the band to announce a full tour.

Rumours of a full tour have increased over the past few months, with guitarist Jimmy Page regularly hinting that he would be interested in taking Led Zeppelin on the road in 2008.

According to live industry sources the band have two nights at Wembley Stadium in London on hold for next summer, which if confirmed would please the fans who have swamped the band’s official forum demanding more shows.

“I think they’ll tour,” wrote Led Zeppelin fan ‘Matt’. “From what I saw at the O2 Arena show, it was amazing.”

“I think they will tour,” added ‘Pinky’. “There’s more hype for them to tour than there has ever been.”

‘JoeZep’ wrote: “How can they not [tour]?” ‘Bluesyzep’ added: “If the crowd response didn't convince Robert then nothing will. If he was half as excited as we are it's a done deal.”

‘Zoef’ wrote: “Of course they will tour. A two-hour tribute? Come on, this is all way too expensive to put on for just one show.”

i was there last night and they are still the best band in the world without a doubt. Selfish git that I am I don't care if they tour as I a saw them once after 20 years of waiting and that's once more than i could have ever dreamed off. But I think they will. They absolutely enjoyed themselves last night, even John Paul Jones smiled. Their musicianship is still at the top and the vibe from the crowd, full of tears and joy must have confirmed to them that they are still the most loved band around. So yes Mr. Plant, get over it and tour for all those millions of fans who missed out. As you said last night after Stairway....Ahmet we did it....just do it again.

Nothing will ever top last night, but the thought off travelling the world and seeing the mighty Zeppelin (well 75 % off it - saying that Jason was awesome, his dad would have been proud) over and over again is very appealing.

It was emotional but my life is complete

they should definitely tour but not charge the amount that they did.i'd say £70 would be more than enough.being realistic the best band in the world(art brut) are only charging £11.50! a few stadiums here or there next summer would be brilliant.
