Robert Plant Announces Spring 2026 U.S. Tour with Saving Grace and Suzi Dian, Spanning More Than 15 Cities from March 14 to April 7

 

Legendary rocker Robert Plant is hitting the road again: on December 9, 2025, he announced a new U.S. tour — dubbed “Spring Fever 2026” — with his band Saving Grace and vocalist Suzi Dian.

What the Tour Is About

The tour supports their recently released album Saving Grace, which came out in September 2025.

Saving Grace is comprised of Plant, Suzi Dian (vocals), drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo/strings by Matt Worley, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown.

The album is a collection of cover versions spanning blues, folk, gospel, and roots music — songs originally by artists such as Memphis Minnie, Blind Willie Johnson, Moby Grape, The Low Anthem, Martha Scanlan and Sarah Siskind.

In Plant’s own words, this new formation and sound represent a more intimate, roots-oriented approach: less about rock-star spectacle, more about “playing out all the stuff we could never get out before.”

Tour Dates & Key Stops

The U.S. leg of the tour runs March 14 to April 7, 2026, covering more than 15 cities across the South, Southwest, Southeast, and Northeast.

Highlights include:

Date City / Venue

🎵 What to Expect Musically

This tour marks a significant phase in Plant’s post-rock evolution. With Saving Grace, he’s delving deep into roots — blues, folk, gospel, early country — reinterpreting classic songs through a contemporary lens.

Expect a blend of atmospheric arrangements — banjo, strings, cello — with Plant’s iconic voice and Suzi Dian’s complementary vocal presence. The result: intimate, soulful renditions that differ sharply from his rock-heavy days. A far cry from stadium rock; this is more about nuance, texture and honest musicality.

Many early reviewers and fans have described recent shows as soulful and deeply emotional — a kind of timeless musical journey, weaving old folk and blues sensibilities with understated modern arrangements.

Context: Where This Fits in Plant’s Career

The album Saving Grace was six years in the making — recorded intermittently between 2019 and January 2025 in the Cotswolds and Welsh Borders.

This isn’t his first post-Zep reinvention — but whereas earlier solo projects leaned toward rock and blues-rock, with Saving Grace he’s diving into roots, heritage, and exploring music across time and tradition.

As he’s said, the shift isn’t about chasing grandeur anymore. It’s about collaborating, exploring and “playing out all the stuff we could never get out before” — in simpler venues, with music that feels more grounded, honest, and heartfelt.
