Led Zeppelin is done – well, technically they have been pretty much done for quite some time now. But over the past few years there has been some speculation of a reunion tour of the group, and this grew even more as the band did in fact reunite – although it was only for one show at the 02 Arena in London. Hell, the band even entertained possibilities of doing the tour without Robert Plant, who was adamantly against the reunion the entire time. But now it is official – their plans just didn’t work out, and the Led Zeppelin reunion tour will not happen; with or without Robert Plant.

If you’re a fan of Umphrey’s McGee – actually, scratch that. If you are a fan of MUSIC, you’re not going to want to miss the upcoming Umphrey’s McGee show at the Royal Oak Theatre near Detroit, Michigan – it’s set to take place on Thursday, March 12 at 9:00 pm.

Umphrey’s McGee is no stranger to the area by any means, and they’ll certainly be back – but this is their first Michigan show in support of their up and coming CD release, Mantis. I haven’t heard the entire CD yet myself, but from what I have heard this show is going to be awesome!

Finally, we have some kind of solid news concerning Rothbury 2009 – the dates are set, and the 2009 Rothbury Music Festival will take place on July 2 – 5 of 2009! Of course we’ve been expecting it, but there has been talk of the fest possibly being moved a week or two ahead or behind. I’m just thankful we have some kind of official news, straight from www.rothburyfestival.com.

Mark your calendars now, and make your plans today to go to Rothbury 2009, July 2 – 5. I’ll be there for sure, partying it up with 40,000 of my best friends in the whole world!
