Abba, Led Zeppelin Offered Some of Michael Jackson's O2 Arena Slots
Michael Jackson sold out fifty concerts at London's O2 Arena. AEG Live now has some big spaces to fill. The Sunreports that AEG Live is going to offer some of the vacancies to Abba and Led Zeppelin, two groups that can sell lots of concert tickets.
Led Zep stars Jimmy Page, 65, Robert Plant, 60, and bassist John Paul Jones, 63, have been approached.
They played their only concert in 19 years at the O2 in 2007 and are seen as one of the few acts who could rival Jacko. His This Is It tour was due to start at the London venue on July 13.
AEG face multi-million pound losses if they cannot fill the slots. A source said: "Only Michael Jackson could sell out 50 nights at such a big arena, but Led Zeppelin and Abba combined might just rival him. There is huge money on the table."
The two groups have not yet been confirmed for the 02 Arena slots.
