Lez versus Led

It's been rumored for months that Led Zeppelin would play Bonnaroo, so when the Associated Press reported late last night that the band was reuniting for the multiday Tennessee festival, it wasn't a total shock.

Except, well, they weren't playing.

Instead, it was Lez Zeppelin, an all-girl tribute band to the English rockers.

They're pictured above, in a photo lifted from the act's MySpace page. Led Zep vocalist Robert Plant is indeed on the Bonnaroo bill, performing with Alison Krauss, so Zep fans excited by last night's erroneous news may not have to face a total letdown today.

And who knows, maybe the good cheer from the fest will inspire Plant to invite the lady rockers on stage. And, Zeppelin fans, think of all the money saved on airfare, hotels and scalped tickets.

To be fair, the Bonnaroo press release provided little detail on the band, stating only that "Lez Zeppelin" is confirmed.

As for the Bonnaroo lineup, headliners include Pearl Jam, Kanye West, Jack Johnson, Metallica and Phil Lesh and Friends, among many, many others. But I've already gotten my feelings toward summer fests off my chest over here.
