Robert Plant BioSnap a weekly updated Biography. Robert Plant has been especially active in the past week, and it is an exciting season for fans of the Led Zeppelin icon. The biggest headline is Plant’s official announcement, confirmed through both the UK rock press and his own social media, of the new studio album titled Saving Grace. Dropping September 26 on Nonesuch Records, this marks Plant’s first album with his recent band lineup including vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown. Plant personally described the project as “a song book of the lost and found,” sharing that the group formed organically in England during lockdown and has grown through a six-year incubation period of collaboration and camaraderie. He isn’t jaded; he says the sweetness and laughter with these “unique stylists” is what keeps him going, and together they’ve landed in a “most interesting place,” as quoted in recent interviews with Classic Rock Magazine and as covered by Clash Music and several music news sites. Promotion for Saving Grace kicked off full tilt. Tour dates have been announced and plastered across music outlets and social media. From December 8 through 23, Plant and Saving Grace will embark on a 10-date UK run, opening in Portsmouth and wrapping in York. The support act for the entire tour is London-based indie-folk duo Burr Island. Tickets go on sale this week and Plant’s official Threads account has been abuzz since September 11, amplifying the announcement, thanking fans, and teasing appearances. This tour and the new album headline the fall music calendar for many UK fans, as reported by Planet Rock, Bristol World, and Burnley Express. Stateside, Plant’s presence continues with Saving Grace’s first US performance scheduled for November in Chicago, as promoted by the Old Town School of Folk Music and US-based outlets, further extending his footprint beyond Britain. Anticipation for tour setlists is high, with fans speculating online about what classics and new material will be performed. On the project front, in a newly published interview for October’s Classic Rock Magazine, Plant revealed that a second Band of Joy album, recorded years ago with Buddy Miller and Marco Giovino, is “right here on my phone” and will “see the light of day.” He was careful not to confirm a release timeline, but Plant’s hints to possible future albums and ongoing sessions have reignited speculation among followers and music writers. Plant’s online activity, particularly on the official Threads account, has drawn thousands of mentions and reposts since his Saving Grace announcement.
