Still seems a little ambiguous. On the NME homepage they say they'll be announcing a "surprise headliner" later that night, so it doesn't look like they just randomly screwed up...
This is what we all wished for. Led Zeppelin being there without being announced. A few too many sources are saying they will headline for this to be incorrect. I think Superfly did us a favor and Led Zeppelin will be announced shortly after tickets go on sale.

I don't think so, because eight hours ago NME posted on their website that they would announce a "surprise headliner" later that night...so I think this might be legit.

When asked outright, (Ashley) Capps denied that the band would make a surprise appearance. “Believe me, if Zeppelin was going to be there we would be shouting it from the rooftops,” he said, adding that no one would be more surprised than him and his team if the band did perform.
The organizers are showing their sense of humor by adding all-female Zeppelin cover band Lez Zeppelin to the bill.
how could the AP, a UK music mag, and the best concert website in the world all blow such a monumental announcement like this?? I just can't believe they would let jack johnson close roo... i just don't believe it.
