Robert Plant Announces 2026 Tour in Support of ‘Saving Grace’ Album
Robert Plant has exciting plans for his 2026 tour to support the “Saving Grace” album. The album is described as a “song book of the lost and found” and features a distinguished group of musicians. Plant, who is known for his extensive musical background and collaborations, is gearing up for concerts in the U.S., Mexico, and South America following a successful North American fall tour and ongoing performances in the U.K. until the end of 2025. The album was released in September 2025 under Nonesuch Records and has garnered positive attention worldwide.
The genesis of the band Saving Grace took place during the lockdown when Plant was unable to embark on his usual travel adventures. Despite this limitation, he found a sense of connection and creativity in the English countryside with the group of musicians comprising vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown. Over the past 6 years, they have grown into a versatile ensemble, exploring different styles and weaving together a rich tapestry of music genres with joy and enthusiasm.
The album includes refreshing renditions of classic songs like Donovan’s “Hey Gyp (Dig the Slowness)” and a mesmerizing version of the spiritual track “Gospel Plough.” Plant, now 77, expresses his delight in working with the band, emphasizing the importance of laughter and creativity in their collaboration. He commends the group’s unique stylistic approach and appreciates the interesting musical space they have created together.
The album itself is a treasury of century-old songs that have been revitalized by Plant and Saving Grace. Featuring tracks originally performed by legendary artists such as Memphis Minnie, Bob Mosley, and Blind Willie Johnson, the album breathes new life into these timeless classics. Songs like “Chevrolet,” “Everybody’s Song,” and “Gospel Plough” showcase the band’s ability to reimagine and interpret music from different eras with a modern twist.
Plant and Saving Grace have captivated audiences with their performances, offering a fresh perspective on traditional music and creating a memorable experience for their listeners.
