The rock band have rarely played together since the death of drummer John Bonham in 1980, most recently reforming for a 2007 tribute to record executive Ahmet Ertegun.

Glastonbury promoter Michael Eavis sparked rumours of a possible Led Zeppelin reunion earlier this year when he said that he was certain that the band would regroup at some point.
Led Zeppelin guitarist Page was asked about the groundswell of support for a Glastonbury reunion by BANG Showbiz over the weekend.
"I agree with them, it's good music isn't it," he replied, before joking: "Maybe I could just go out on my own then and call myself Led Zeppelin."
Page went on to suggest that Glastonbury would be a perfect fit for Led Zeppelin because of the band's cross-generational appeal.

He explained: "I think the reason people want it is the fact Led Zeppelin's music has touched people all the way through and every year seems to bring new young musicians and a new audience.
"I've just been out promoting the first three releases of Led Zeppelin's albums and it's young people that are there and young journalists - it's not the old school. So, I know what it means to people and it's a really nice thing."
Singer Robert Plant hinted last year at a potential reformation in 2014, saying: "I'm not the bad guy. You need to see the Capricorns - I've nothing to do in 2014."
That reunion has not come to pass thus far, with Plant playing last weekend's Glastonbury Festival with his new backing group the Sensational Space Shifters.
Iron Maiden were recently tipped by bookmakers as the likely headliners for next year's festival.
