Showbiz 411’s Roger Friedman has revealed that Led Zeppelin refused $14 million in order to perform at this October’s Desert Trip Festival in Indio.
Says Friedman: “Led Zeppelin is on trial right now for maybe copying some of “Stairway To Heaven” from another song. But the Zeps have bigger problems: they turned down $14 million to play the “Oldchella” Desert Trip shows this fall with Paul McCartney, the Stones, Neil Young, The Who, Roger Waters and Bob Dylan.
“My sources say that Jimmy Page was all for it, but Robert Plant wouldn’t agree to any kind of reunion. “Jimmy went crazy,” one source told me. “He really wanted to do it.”
“All the acts, I’m told, are being paid $7 million per weekend. The shows run the two middle weekends of October in Indio, California.”
