Robert Plant Plans Saving Grace Album Release, US Tour

Robert Plant, the legendary Led Zeppelin frontman, is set to release his first album with his acoustic band Saving Grace on September 26 via Nonesuch Records. The album, described by Plant as "a songbook of the lost and found," features covers of traditional folk tunes and songs by artists such as Memphis Minnie, Blind Willie Johnson, and Low, including a reimagined version of Low's "Everybody’s Song." Plant has praised the joyful dynamic and creative synergy he shares with his bandmates, including vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown. After several years of touring across Europe with Saving Grace, Plant and the band will embark on their first North American tour starting October 30 in Wheeling, West Virginia, with stops in cities like Brooklyn, Chicago, and Los Angeles. The album was recorded between 2019 and 2025 in England's Cotswolds and the Welsh Borders, showcasing the band's unique stylistic blend and Plant's enthusiasm for the project. Tickets for the tour go on sale July 18.
