Robert Plant announces fall 2025 US tour with Saving Grace: Cities, dates, tickets
Robert Plant will be touring the U.S this fall with his latest band of collaborators, the band Saving Grace.
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.'
