Well this is pretty cool!! Organizers are planning the biggest music event in history with twelve days of concerts during the 2012 London Olympic games. More details after the jump!
The shows could see Madonna, Paul McCartney, and the Rolling Stones headlining, it has been revealed.
And organizers would like to see Led Zepplin and the Spice Girls reformed for the events.
It is also hoped Jay-Z, Stevie Wonder, Pink Floyd, Take That and Simon and Garfunkel will perform.
Charities are expected to benefit from the concerts, which will be promoted by the Live Nation entertainment company.
A source told The People: ‘Everything is being done to make sure this will be the biggest music extravaganza ever.
‘It is going to be huge. teh hope is that the organizers can persuade some of the mo0st successful and popular music acts ever to perform.
‘Led Zepplin are at the top of the list. If they will re-form then it will be a massive coup for London and the Olympics.
‘The idea behind the project is that artists from across the world will come together to celebrate the games.
‘Pink Floyd coming back together would be huge. It would be the most exciting event to happen to London in a long time.’
More than one million tickets will go on sale for the shows, which will be held at Hyde Park and Victoria Park in Hackney, east London.
Other features at the concerts include large screens beaming sporting games.
The first show is to kick off on July 28, the night after the opening ceremony.
They will run for a further 11 nights until the closing ceremony on August 12, when the Olympic torch will be handed over to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
At the farewell ceremony in Beijing in 2008, Led Zepplin’s Jimmy Page performed Whole Lotta Love on top of an iconic double decker bus as Leona Lewis sang.
Organisers are apparently going to approach his band mate Robert Plant to join him for this year’s spectacular.
The band split up in 1980 after the death of drummer John Bonham. Page and Plant have played together with bassists John Paul John on and off over the years, last appearing together in 2007.
