Robert Plant announces fall 2025 US tour with Saving Grace: Cities, dates, tickets
The one-time Led Zeppelin frontman connected with the musicians in 2019 and they played together during the 2020 COVID lockdown in England. "They have become unique stylists and together they seem to have landed in a most interesting place," Plant said in a news release announcing upcoming tour dates.
The collective made up of vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, cellist Barney Morse-Brown have played together over the past six years and are currently touring Europe. The tour wraps up this month with dates in France and Spain.
Plant last performed in the U.S. in September 2024 with Alison Krauss. The duo won five Grammys including album of the year for their 2007 album "Raising Sand." They also released a 2021 follow-up "Raise the Roof."
In addition to tours with Krauss, Plant's previous performances in the U.S. included tours in 2010 with the Band of Joy, which featured Nashville musicians including Patty Griffin and Buddy Miller, and the Sensational Space Shifters in 2013.
Plant and Saving Grace had planned to tour the U.S. in 2020, the iHeart radio news site reported, but the COVID pandemic nixed those plans.
"About the group, '"We laugh a lot, really. I think that suits me. I like laughing,' Plant said about the group in the news release. 'You know, I can't find any reason to be too serious about anything. I'm not jaded. The sweetness of the whole thing … These are sweet people and they are playing out all the stuff that they could never get out before. They have become unique stylists and together they seem to have landed in a most interesting place.'

French pop band cancels North American tour over 'very worrying' US political climate
French electro-pop band Yelle announced on Wednesday that they are canceling their North American tour slated for the fall due to the "very worrying" political climate in the United States. The band cited concerns over immigration and freedom of speech as part of the reason they are canceling their North American tour dates — adding that since they are traveling as a family with their young child, they "need to feel safe." "Today we have made the immensely difficult decision to cancel our North American tour. There are multiple reasons why we came to this decision," Yelle told their Instagram followers. "The current political climate in the US, especially in regard to immigration and freedom of speech, is very worrying. We are now traveling as a family with our young child, so more than ever, we need to feel safe," the band shared on their Instagram page. Aside from their worries about the U.S. political climate, the band also expressed concerns over the "great financial burden" the tour has placed upon them. "In addition, the overall costs of this tour are becoming barely possible to balance and it is putting a great financial burden on us," they stated. As noted by online music outlet Pitchfork, Yelle is part of a growing list of international acts who have expressed concerns over performing in the U.S. following President Donald Trump's return to the White House. Members of the British punk band U.K. Subs claimed that they were denied entry into the U.S. in March, citing incorrect visas and other undisclosed reasons. The band's bassist, Alvin Gibbs, theorized that his "regular and less than flattering public pronouncements regarding [Trump] and his administration were a factor" in his entry being denied. Bob Vylan, the British punk duo whose anti-Israel set at the Glastonbury Festival drew widespread condemnation, had their U.S. visas revoked by the State Department following their controversial performance. Another international artist, Bells Larsen — a transgender singer-songwriter from Montreal — said he had to cancel his tour after being unable to apply for a visa due to new U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services policies that do not recognize transgender identities.

Lady Gaga kicked off her ‘Mayhem Ball Tour.' What songs made the setlist?
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. The 'Mayhem Ball' has finally dropped. Four long months after releasing her seventh studio album 'Mayhem,' Lady Gaga launched her highly-anticipated North American arena tour at Las Vegas' T-Mobile Arena on Wednesday, July 16. Over five exquisitely-titled acts and an encore, Ms. Germanotta delivered 27 songs. They ran the gamut from chart-topping radio staples like 'Poker Face,' 'Paparazzi' and 'Just Dance' to her emotive, soul-baring duets 'Shallow' and 'Die With A Smile' to cuts from 'Mayhem,' according to Set List FM. When all was said and done, she closed the concert with the slinky party-starting singalong 'How Bad Do U Want Me.' 'Its ideas were as big as its presentation, and Gaga kept its focus with over-the-top theatrics and an even greater vision,' Variety raved in a review of the Sin City show. '…but at the heart of her performance was a parade of hits that served as the backbone of the Gaga experience, one that continuously elicited screams and chants from the attendees decked out in Gaga costumes.' Variety also noted that Gaga had surprisingly switched up the second half of her live show compared to what she'd staged in Singapore this past spring while warming up for the tour. 'There was no 'Blade of Grass' or 'Always Remember Us This Way,' as she'd sung in Singapore; instead, she folded in 'Applause' and 'Summerboy,' and swapped 'How Bad Do U Want Me' as the evening's closer. She sang a new rendition of 'Die With a Smile' at the lip of the stage on a piano; 'Shallow' had a fresh arrangement that offered a different texture to the melodramatic ballad.' If you'd like to see the shape-shifting, versatile 14-time Grammy winner put on her one-of-a-kind show live, tickets are available for all upcoming North American concerts (including her five at Madison Square Garden this August and September). For more information, our team has everything you need to know and more about Lady Gaga's 'Mayhem Ball Tour' below. Lady Gaga tour schedule 2025 A complete calendar including all North American (and some European) tour dates, venues and links to buy tickets can be found below. Lady Gaga set list On Wednesday, July 16, Gaga played her first official 'Mayhem Ball Tour' concert at Las Vegas' T-Mobile Stadium. According to Set List FM, here's what she took to the stage. Act I: Of Velvet And Vice 01.) 'Bloody Mary' 02.) 'Abracadabra' 03.) 'Judas/Aura' 04.) 'Scheiße' 05.) 'Garden of Eden' 06.) 'Poker Face Act II: And She Fell Into A Gothic Dream 07.) 'Perfect Celebrity' 08.) 'Disease' 09.) 'Paparazzi' 10.) 'LoveGame' 11.) 'Alejandro' 12.) 'The Beast' Act III: The Beautiful Nightmare That Knows Her Name 13.) 'Killah' 14.) Zombieboy' 15.) 'LoveDrug' 16.) 'Applause' 17.) 'Just Dance' Act IV: Every Chessboard Has Two Queens 18.) 'Shadow of a Man' 19.) 'Kill for Love' 20.) 'Summerboy' 21.) 'Born This Way' 22.) 'Million Reasons' 23.) 'Shallow' 24.) 'Die With a Smile' 25.) 'Vanish Into You' Finale: Eternal Aria of the Monster Heart 26.) 'Bad Romance' Encore 27.) 'How Bad Do U Want Me' Lady Gaga new music On March 7, Lady Gaga dropped her seventh studio album 'Mayhem.' The energetic, maximalist dance pop record — which many rightly call a return to form — rarely takes a moment to breathe (save for the final two tracks, which veer into singalong ballad territory). Over its 53-minute runtime, Gaga goes hard providing her signature powerful vocals over shimmery synths, thumping percussion and the occasional epic guitar riff. And, yes, it's an absolute blast that we went gaga over. Standouts here include the anthemic, electro 'Disease,' disco jam 'Abracadabra,' creepy, hypnotic bop 'Killah,' glittery foot-stomper 'Zombieboy' and retro, New Wave-esque 'Don't Call Tonight.' Still, our top track has to be the lead single, Gaga's throwback 'Die With A Smile' duet with Bruno Mars. Sweeping yet intimate and thrillingly romantic, the heartfelt tune pairs perfectly as an upbeat counterpart to her similarlly swooning 'Shallow.' It's essential and we'd bet will likely become a staple at Gaga tours for the next few decades. If you'd like to fire up the record right now and find your own favorite song, 'Mayhem' can be found here.
