Zeppelin to play Bonnaroo?

This report first surfaced on the weekend, but I didn't buy it, so I didn't post it. I have changed my mind - I will post it: still not buying it.

Led Zeppelin will play its first U.S. show since July 24, 1977, this June at the Bonnaroo festival in Manchester, Tenn., according to an email published in industry commentator Bob Lefsetz's newsletter.
The best part of the story?

The report also says Metallica will headline the event.
Led Zeppelin and Metallica will play the same event, and Metallica will headline? Think even the guys in Metallica would believe that line?

Bonnaroo takes place in June in Tennessee, and is one of those all weekend events: bring your tent and sleeping bag middle aged Zeppelin fans! It runs from Thursday evening until Late Sunday and has six stages. John Paul Jones was all over last years Bonaroo, playing with Ben Harper, Government Mule, Uncle Earle and Gillian Welch (video of which are all available at youtube).
