Debut US tour begins next month, including NYC's Brooklyn Paramount, Port Chester's Capitol Theatre, Chicago's The Vic, Los Angeles' United Theater & more, plus Big Ears Festival added for 2026

Today, Robert Plant releases Saving Grace: his first album to feature a new band of distinguished musicians. Accompanied by vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown, these ten songs explore the evolution of roots music both vintage and modern, from deep cuts by Memphis Minnie and Blind Willie Johnson, to treasured gems by Bob Mosley (Moby Grape), Martha Scanlan, Mimi Parker and Alan Sparhawk's Low, Sarah Siskind and The Low Anthem, an African-American spiritual and more. "[Robert Plant and Suzi Dian] harmonize while the band reconfigures some of Plant's favorite musical elements: the blues, Celtic picking, Arabic modes," the New York Times said in naming Saving Grace one of Fall's Most Anticipated Albums.

While Plant had already received great acclaim for his GRAMMY® Award-winning forays into American roots music with singer and fiddler Alison Krauss—and alongside Patty Griffin and Buddy Miller, in his 2010 GRAMMY®-nominated Band of Joy—Saving Gracebegan at his home on the Welsh borderlands. First united in 2019, Plant and the band members were drawn together by a shared love of roots music—of blues, folk, gospel, country and those tantalizing sounds that lay in between. They recorded informally in a barn setup and sometimes outdoors; across the album, the band incorporates elements of hypnotic, droning grooves, Malian desert blues, and psychedelic folk, with sounds that can seem mysterious, melancholic, and foreboding.

From serving as an unheralded opening act on a handful of dates for Fairport Convention, to touring extensively across the UK and Europe in recent months and years, Robert Plant and Saving Grace will soon perform for the first time in the US this fall. Their tour stops in fifteen North American cities, including shows at NYC's Brooklyn Paramount, Port Chester's Capitol Theatre, Chicago's The Vic, Los Angeles' United Theater, and others, with support from Rosie Flores. Robert Plant and Saving Grace will also return to the US in 2026, with the recent announcement of a headline performance at Big Ears Festival, following a ten-date UK tour just added for December. The full schedule is below, and tickets are available at robertplant.com/#tour.

Praise For Saving Grace

"Robert Plant must have enjoyed sharing vocal duets on his two albums with Alison Krauss. He fronts his new band, Saving Grace, alongside the singer Suzi Dian...they harmonize while the band reconfigures some of Plant's favorite musical elements: the blues, Celtic picking, Arabic modes."

The New York Times, The Fall's Most Anticipated Albums

"A reconnection for Plant with the musicians of the region and a rediscovery of some of the songs of his youth. It also revitalises his craft...These musicians turn out to be his most powerful outfit in decades. It's hard to see a limit to their powers, such is their skill with both the sweet and the sour, the delicate and the bruising."

Uncut, Album of the Month, 9/10

"This carefully curated mix of British and American influences, both ancient and modern, clearly bears Plant's personal stamp. Saving Grace may appear an accidental bullseye, but there's little doubt that this seemingly informal ensemble is run with military precision."

Record Collector, New Album of the Month * * * *

"Saving Grace feels guileless, almost serendipitous. Across 10 intimate songs magic happens. This is Plant as enthused musicologist, sharing inspirations, passing batons."

Mojo * * * *

"Plant and the Saving Grace band have been building a classic songbook all their own. Plant's journey continues ever on, and it's one worth falling in step with."

Classic Rock, 8/10

"The album proves the 77-year-old Plant to be one of the few artists of his vintage who refuses to rest on his laurels...By looking to the past again, Plant continues to secure his ever-evolving legacy."

Ultimate Classic Rock

"There's a soft-spun sensuality to Plant's singing as he duets with Suzi Dian on a collaborative collection of covers including spirituals, blues staples, and haunted contemporary folk."

FLOOD

"Intimate, emotional and transcendental, a warm mosaic of blues, alt-country and folk storytelling that reawakens the spirit of roots music that has been sympathetically reimagined through the clarity of a modern lens."

CLASH, 8/10
