LONDON, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- The iconic British rock band Led Zeppelin plans to perform at the upcoming Bonnaroo festival in Tennessee, the Daily Mirror reported Monday.

The group performed a triumphant gig at London's O2 arena earlier this month. It marked the first time the surviving members of the band had played a full set together since 1980.

The Bonnaroo festival is set to run June 12-15.

If all goes well, the band may consider going on tour, the Mirror said.

"This is the news that will drive their fans absolutely wild," a source told the newspaper. "(The fans) have been bombarding their Web site to get back together for good, but only Robert Plant wasn't keen to commit. Now he's had a change of heart and if it goes well, they are also talking about touring."
