    Robert Plant has been making waves across the music world this week with his ongoing spring tour celebrating the Saving Grace project. The legendary Led Zeppelin frontman kicked off his US tour on March 14 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he surprised fans by debuting three songs never before performed with Saving Grace. According to LedZepNews, Plant introduced the solo track "Calling to You," along with covers of Ola Belle Reed's "Undone in Sorrow" and the traditional folk song "Ain't No Grave." The last time Plant had performed "Calling to You" was back in 2009 during a guest appearance with Francis Dunnery, making this revival particularly significant for longtime fans.

    The tour itself spans from March 14 through April 7, 2026, taking the now 77-year-old artist across the country's south, southwest, and northeast regions. According to the Ryman Auditorium's event listing, the spring tour celebrates Plant's critically acclaimed Saving Grace album, which took six years to complete and features an ensemble including vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown.

    Just this week, Plant delivered a stunning performance in Dallas on March 18 at the Majestic Theatre, which the Dallas Observer described as a hypnotic fusion of past and present. The reviewer noted that Plant's 90-minute set showcased his commitment to artistic evolution rather than nostalgia, with the capacity crowd losing its collective mind whenever he ventured into Led Zeppelin territory. Following the Dallas show, according to the San Antonio Current, Plant and the band were spotted in San Antonio's King William Historic District the next day during a scheduled day off, conducting a photo shoot for upcoming releases or promotional materials.

    On the recording front, Plant recently revealed bombshell news to Record Collector magazine. Speaking about an upcoming four-track covers EP titled "Saving Grace: All That Glitters… with Suzi Dian," Plant disclosed that these songs were originally intended for the band's next full album. The EP, limited to 3,500 copies, drops on Record Store Day April 18 and features covers including Bert Jansch's "Poison" and Gillian Welch's "Orphan Girl." Plant hinted at an abundance of unreleased material, suggesting there's much more Saving Grace music to come.

    Robert Plant kicked off his US spring tour with Saving Grace and Suzi Dian last night in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at the sold-out Kiva Auditorium, according to Nonesuch Records, marking a pivotal moment in his post-Led Zeppelin evolution toward roots music mastery. This launch supports their critically acclaimed album Saving Grace, blending blues, folk, gospel, and country, with Nonesuch highlighting it as a fresh chapter after years of barn sessions and small gigs since 2019. No major headlines emerged in the past 24 hours, but the tour's momentum builds biographical weight, showcasing Plant's shift from stadium rock god to intimate collaborator at 77.

    The itinerary heats up fast: tonight he hits Tulsa, then Dallas on March 18 at Majestic Theatre with Rosie Flores opening, per JamBase; Austin on March 21 at ACL Live, as listed on their site; San Antonio, New Orleans, Memphis, Nashville's Ryman Auditorium on March 26 via Ryman and Visit Music City listings; and more through Louisville, Raleigh, Asheville, culminating April 7 at New York City's Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Nonesuch also teases a vinyl EP, Saving Grace: All That Glitters, dropping exclusively at indie stores on Record Store Day, April 18—a collector's gem underscoring Plant's enduring vinyl legacy.

    No fresh public appearances, business deals, or verified social media buzz surfaced in the last few days beyond tour hype—no Instagram posts or X mentions from Plant himself, and gossip mills stay quiet on personal scoops. Speculation swirls online about setlist surprises drawing from Blind Willie Johnson or Moby Grape covers, but that's unconfirmed fan chatter. This tour cements Plant's Welsh borderland roots revival, six years post-album, potentially rivaling his Grammy-winning Krauss collabs in long-term lore.
