Robert Plant Announces ‘Saving Grace’ Album, Band & Tour

Robert Plant is teaming up with vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley and cellist Barney Morse-Brown for a new venture, Robert Plant & Saving Grace, with the group releasing their debut album on Sept. 26 via Nonesuch Records and unveiling plans to tour this summer and fall.

“We laugh a lot, really,” Plant said in a statement. “I think that suits me. I like laughing. 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.”

The album was recorded between April 2019 and January 2025 in the Cotswolds and on the Welsh Borders. The band will perform for the first time in the U.S. this fall, with an initial run of a dozen shows announced. The trek kicks off on Oct. 30 in Wheeling, West Virginia, with stops including Lincoln Theatre in Washington, D.C., the Brooklyn Paramount in Brooklyn, New York, Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York, and The Vic in Chicago. The first run of dates wraps up on Nov. 18 at The Moore Theatre in Seattle, Washington.

Robert Plant is booked by High Road Touring’s Frank Riley in North America and International Talent Booking’s Rod MacSween worldwide, excluding North America. With 100 headline reports submitted to Pollstar’s Boxoffice dating back to 2001, Plant has sold 346,972 tickets, grossing $21.6 million.
