Stairlift to heaven ... Led Zep at O2

Legendary rockers Led Zeppelin look set to re-form and play the O2 arena this autumn.

There has been no official announcement that they will perform again 27 years after the group disbanded following the death of drummer John Bonham but advertisements appeared in the national press today with top-price ticket and hotel packages on offer for £369.

A cheaper package from the Premier Entertainments company, including a night in a four-star hotel, is available for £269.

Callers today were told: "It's just about to be officially announced." Speculation had been mounting for some time that the band would get back together soon.

The three surviving members - John Paul Jones, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page - reunited at the Live Aid concert

in Philadelphia in 1985 for a short set with Phil Collins as one of the stand-in drummers. The band's albums and song Stairway To Heaven have remained popular and a new best-of album is due this year.
