Led Zeppelin approached to headline Download

Andy Copping who books the bands that fans witness every year taking to the stage of the UKs Download Festival has station that he approached Led Zeppelin but was unable to secure their name.

Speaking to Xfm, Copping stated that having AC/DC and Zeppelin on the same bill would constitute his dream bill.

“If I could get Led Zeppelin to play at Download, it would be phenomenal”, said the festival chief. “If that’s not going to happen, I’m more than happy with what we’ve got”.

“Every single festival in the world approaches Led Zeppelin or their management to get them to pay at their festival. Loads of money gets thrown out. It’s not what they want to do at the moment and that’s fine. They probably never will, but everyone has a stab at it.
