Paul Sexton from Billboard.biz is reporting:

The three surviving members of LED ZEPPELIN regrouped in London today for a press conference to mark the launch of Celebration Day, the upcoming film of the band's 2007 one-off reunion concert at the 02 Arena.

Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones were in jovial form at the event, which followed a media screening of the two-hour concert movie, directed by Dick Carruthers. But they sidestepped any and all questions from the floor that made reference to future reunions, apart from one moment near the end of the conference, when Plant answered the shouted question "Will you do it again?" by simply saying: "With you?"

"We don't see each other too often," Plant said earlier, "but we've just spent about an hour together...and no sooner we start talking, than some little innuendo creeps in. It's just what happens when you've spent a lot of time together."

Responding to a question about why it has taken five years for the concert film to be released, Jones got one of the biggest laughs of the occasion by saying drily: "Five years is like five minutes in Zeppelin time. I'm surprised we got it out so quickly."

Celebration Day will see a worldwide theatrical release by Omniverse Vision on October 17th. Celebration Day will then be available in multiple video and audio formats on November 19th from Swan Song/Atlantic Records.

A preview of the release, featuring the classic track 'Black Dog', can now be seen below:

On December 10th, 2007, Led Zeppelin took the stage at London’s O2 Arena to headline a tribute concert for dear friend and Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun. What followed was a two-hour-plus tour de force of the band’s signature blues-infused rock ’n’ roll that instantly became part of the legend of Led Zeppelin.

Founding members John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant were joined by Jason Bonham, the son of their late drummer John Bonham, to perform 16 songs from their celebrated catalog including landmark tracks 'Whole Lotta Love', 'Rock And Roll', 'Kashmir', and 'Stairway To Heaven'.

Although 20 million people applied for tickets, the band’s first headline show in 27 years was seen only by the 18,000 ticket holders who were fortunate enough to have secured seats through the worldwide lottery.

The film of Celebration Day will see a worldwide theatrical release by Omniverse Vision on 1,500 screens in over 40 territories on October 17th. The theatrical screenings will follow premieres in London, Los Angeles, New York, and other major cities. Tickets for the public screenings are available via LedZeppelin.com. Celebration Day cinema listings can be found here.

Celebration Day will then be available in multiple video and audio formats on November 19th from Swan Song/Atlantic Records. Specific product details will be announced soon.

Led Zeppelin has also been selected as one of the recipients of the 2012 Kennedy Center Honors. The band is set to receive the Honors at the annual gala on December 2nd in Washington, DC.
