About this listen
Robert Plant’s November has been a whirlwind of stage lights, soulful harmonies, and more than a few headline moments that remind us why he still commands fascination half a century after Led Zeppelin’s heyday. The spotlight was brightest on November 10, when Plant and his new band Saving Grace made a powerful Toronto debut at Massey Hall, transforming the first snowfall into an atmospheric backdrop for their eclectic mix of British folk, American roots, and trademark Zep mystique. Reviewers noted how the chemistry between Plant and vocalist Suzi Dian brought out both the gravity and playful edge in his voice, the set list weaving through new Saving Grace tracks and inventive, emotional spins on Zeppelin classics like Ramble On, Four Sticks, and a moving version of The Rain Song. The performance was hailed as proof that Plant’s creative engine is running as strong as ever, with critics calling Saving Grace his most authentic solo band yet according to Roots Music and Spill Magazine.
The North American leg of the Roar in the Fall tour kept Plant in motion, with a November 13 concert benefiting Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music—an intimate affair at the Maurer Concert Hall that drew both superfans and roots aficionados. The stint marks the U.S. live debut for Saving Grace and follows the release of their debut album on September 26 through Nonesuch Records, which Plant describes as a “song book of the lost and found,” produced over several years in the English countryside and the Welsh borders. The album and shows have received enthusiastic coverage, confirming that at 77, Plant is more interested in exploration than nostalgia.
Media appearances have complemented his musical run. On November 4, Plant appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, discussing the Saving Grace project and sharing anecdotes about Led Zeppelin’s Tolkien-inspired lyrics that apparently flew under his bandmates’ radar at the time, according to Parade. The segment trended briefly on X and Instagram, as fans marveled at the footage of Plant delivering a soulful rendition of The Rain Song—clips that sparked fresh appreciation for his enduring range.
Socially, Plant was spotted dining in Greenwich, Connecticut, his presence causing ripples in local circles and fueling quick-blazing social media chatter, as reported by Greenwich Time this morning. He also teased in a November 13 radio interview with 93XRT that he will resume U.S. touring in March, building speculation about expanded dates and festival appearances in 2026.
It’s worth flagging that from October 26 to November 12, Wikipedia falsely claimed Plant had directed a Netflix docuseries about his life—a story debunked by Led Zeppelin News, who also confirm that Plant and the documentary Becoming Led Zeppelin were overlooked in this year’s Grammy nominations.
With stage triumphs, an acclaimed new album, late-night TV charm, and nonstop rumors, Robert Plant moves through mid-November 2025 not as a classic rock relic, but as an ever-evolving, impossibly relevant icon—once again reasserting control over his story, his voice, and his ever-growing legend.
