Robert Plant Sets 2026 Tour to Support Mighty Fine ‘Saving Grace’ Album
by Best Classic Bands StaffRobert Plant has announced new concert dates with his current band, Saving Grace. The fall 2026 shows are in support of their fine, recent album, Saving Grace, which he calls “a song book of the lost and found,” featuring a new group of distinguished players. The new U.S. concerts, announced on June 9, follow dates in the U.K., Mexico, South America and a previous North American tour. A pre-sale for the shows begins June 10. Tickets for the general public go on sale June 12 here. The Saving Grace album arrived September 26, 2025, via Nonesuch Records, and is available in the U.S./worldwide here and here, in Canada here and in the U.K. here. Listen to many of the songs below.
From the original album announcement: the genesis of Saving Grace began during the lockdown in “The Shire,” when Plant’s customary wandering was all but forbidden. While his recent adventures have centered around Nashville, having reunited with Alison Krauss for 2021’s chart-topping, multi GRAMMY-nominated Raise The Roof, it was in the English countryside that Plant connected closely to this diverse group of musicians, who through their own experiences had a shared lean towards his much-loved corners of evocative song. Together, Plant and Saving Grace – vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, cellist Barney Morse-Brown – have spent the past six years growing into a wide-ranging workshop of styles and personalities, weaving through time and circumstance with joy and abandon.
“Chevrolet” is their rendition of Donovan’s 1965 “Hey Gyp (Dig the Slowness),” which is itself an adaptation of Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy’s 1930 Delta blues classic, “Can I Do It for You.”
With “Gospel Plough,” they transform a centuries old spiritual number into a hypnotic and alluring mélange of vocals, steel banjo, and acoustic guitar.
“We laugh a lot, really. I think that suits me. I like laughing,” says Plant, who turns 78 on August 20. “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.”
Listen to Plant and Saving Grace’s reimagined rendition of Low’s “Everybody’s Song”
The album, produced by Plant and Saving Grace – and recorded between April 2019 and January 2025 in the Cotswolds and on the Welsh Borders – breathes fresh life into a collection of century-old music. A treasury of songs featured back in time by Memphis Minnie, Bob Mosley (Moby Grape), Blind Willie Johnson, The Low Anthem, Martha Scanlan, Sarah Siskind, and Mimi Parker and Alan Sparhawk’s Low.

Jump into a conversationtrack sounds like Geoff & Maria Muldar’s version of song to me; Memphis Minnie/Kansas Joe’s version is great imo w/ better interplay of male/female voices…also have live ver by Ed Young/Emma Ramsey that has its charms, even have ver by Taj Mahal, that is so-so, and of course studio/live versions by Donovan, but MY FAVE version is Eric Burdon/Animals version…that ver I tend 2 play over & over again in lots of repetitions…while I was pleased/curious seeing Mr Plant was doing this song, and anxious 2 hear it, feel as said, sounds like knock off/nothing beyond muldaur’s version…glad he brings attention 2 it, and hope it leads 2 folks liking it, and seeking all these other versions of it, esp Animals & Memphis Minnie solo/duet versions…great tune almost 100 yrs old!
my comment above was in response to audio of tune Chevrolet …comments here/now concern this great full album and all the great old folk and spiritual tunes, that I have read that his work/records w/ Alison Krauss showed him how to mine for relevancy post-Zeppelin! And the breadth of all his work/tunes are glorious and exceptional…whether on records, dvds concert material, worth seeking [by me/you] from local libraries/YouTube vids….I find these folk/spiritual tunes, to be so satisfying and enjoyable, both as done by him/this band, and referencing back to the originals…doubly benefitting! One dvd I got from Library, he did 2 recommended tunes: POOR HOWARD and TURN IT UP, both great! As he sings ‘carry me back to where I came from’…indeed! [I love when old songs are brought back to new life and new review…]
