Led Zeppelin will reform for a one-off show at the O2 Arena in London on November 26.

The show is being held to raise money for the Ahmet Ertegun Education Fund, which pays for university scholarships in the UK, US and Turkey.

The fund was created in honour of Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun who died last year. He worked helped further the career of a host of acts, including Led Zeppelin.

Tickets for the show cost £125 each, and they are limited to two per person, and will be distributed by ballot only.

all of it going to charity though so it's acceptable i guess it's not like they are cashing in personally.

in fact it's an event they were asked to take part in, they were asked to do a 30 minute set and they got together to rehearse and enjoyed it so much they said they would do a full set of 2 hours.
