Led Zeppelin reunion: Jimmy Page hints at new material

Jimmy Page has hinted that Led Zeppelin may begin working on new material following their one-off reunion gig.

The band will reform for a show at the O2 Arena in London on November 26.

The gig is being held to raise money for the Ahmet Ertegun Education Fund, which pays for university scholarships in the UK, US and Turkey.

When asked about new material, Page said: “Look, I’d be really surprised if there wasn’t – you know, I mean I just know the way we are. We’re musicians...as we’re playing we’ll probably be coming up with all manner of things.

"And that will be fun. I mean that’s what it’s all about. Let’s do the O2 show, shall we? And then we’ll speak to you afterward.”

He also was hesitant to say if this would lead to a full-blown reunion.

“Basically we are concentrating on this show," said Page. "That’s where all the energy is going. I mean, who knows? But one step at a time.”

Page said there were no plans for a DVD, telecast or webcast of the show, reports JAM! Music.
