About this listen
Robert Plant has made headlines this week for both his business savvy and his artistic vitality. On November 13, Plant revealed on Chicago’s 93XRT radio station that he and his band Saving Grace are set to return to the US for another round of touring in March. He emphasized a preference for intimate venues over massive outdoor arenas, signaling an approach that puts musical connection over spectacle. Notably, confirmed appearances include the Big Ears festival in Knoxville, Tennessee on March 28 and a newly announced slot at C6 Fest in São Paulo, Brazil on May 24. Local fans are already clamoring on social media for more US dates according to Led Zeppelin News.
Fresh from the road, Plant graced the stage at Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music on November 13 for a sold-out and widely celebrated performance—an event that doubled as a benefit. Just three days earlier, his band Saving Grace debuted at Toronto’s Massey Hall, drawing raves for its blend of British folk mysticism and inventive reworkings of Led Zeppelin classics, according to Roots Music Canada. Plant’s chemistry with Suzi Dian and the new band drew special attention for its freshness and intimate energy, with covers like “The Rain Song” and “Black Dog” achieving both nostalgia and surprise.
In business news, Robert Plant achieved a milestone by finally securing a US trademark for his iconic feather symbol from Led Zeppelin’s fourth album, following a lengthy legal process. According to Led Zeppelin News, this trademark now spans music, podcasts, clothing, and live performance merchandise—signaling not just shrewd brand management but a preemptive strike against counterfeiters as Plant moves ahead with new tours and merchandise drops.
On the media circuit, Plant made a notable public appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert this November, sharing anecdotes about Led Zeppelin’s early days and revealing that his Tolkien-inspired lyrics often went over the heads of his legendary bandmates—a story Parade highlighted as both endearing and a testament to his enduring love for mysticism and storytelling.
Social media buzz has been strong, with concertgoers and music writers sharing glowing reviews and snippets from his recent shows. Bob Boilen of NPR posted an enthusiastic Instagram photo from the November 12 Lincoln Theatre gig in DC, while YouTube is filling up with fan videos capturing Plant’s powerful renditions of both new material and Zeppelin staples.
No major scandals or controversial moves have surfaced—if anything, the consensus is that Plant, at 77, remains not only uncompromising in his artistry and business dealings but continues to surprise with his ongoing creative evolution and refusal to rest on his Led Zeppelin laurels.
