About this listen
Robert Plant is back in the headlines with major developments that promise to be significant chapters in his storied career. The most important news is the official announcement of his first album with his new band, Saving Grace, a project that has been quietly brewing since 2019. The album, simply titled "Saving Grace," will be released on September 26, 2025, through Nonesuch Records, and it’s being described by Plant himself as “a song book of the lost and found.” This record is a notable shift as Plant ventures deep into acoustic and folk territories, working alongside accomplished musicians Suzi Dian, Oli Jefferson, Tony Kelsey, Matt Worley, and Barney Morse-Brown—an ensemble he says has grown into “unique stylists” over their six years together. According to a press release cited by LedZepNews, the album was recorded between April 2019 and January 2025, in the Cotswolds and on the Welsh Borders, infusing it with a deeply English countryside feel and the intimacy of a long-bonded band.
The album features a diverse tracklist, reimagining songs from blues legends like Memphis Minnie and Blind Willie Johnson alongside contemporary covers—Moby Grape’s “It’s a Beautiful Day Today” and Low’s “Everybody’s Song” are already drawing particular attention, the latter serving as the lead single and capturing both critical and fan excitement. Plant’s announcement was first made public during his set at the Lucca Summer Festival in Italy on July 13, which Rolling Stone Italy and LedZepNews confirmed. He told the crowd to expect the debut in six weeks, officially lighting up international buzz. Plant’s own Instagram post celebrated the album’s six-year gestation and camaraderie with the new band.
Alongside the album, Plant is embarking on a highly anticipated Saving Grace tour, hitting venues across France and Spain in July before kicking off the North American leg in Wheeling, West Virginia, on October 30. The tour will include major stops like New York City, Washington D.C., Chicago, Toronto, Denver, Seattle, and Los Angeles, signaling Plant’s ongoing relevance and drawing both older Led Zeppelin fans and a new audience. Ticket sales have become a trending topic on social media, with presales and general sales stoking the excitement, particularly after his publicist and fan accounts on Instagram and Twitter shared behind-the-scenes photos and snippets of rehearsals.
Although news regarding Led Zeppelin projects often drifts into the speculative—like the recent renewed trademark for "The Led Zeppelin Experience"—there is no verified direct involvement by Plant in these latest Zeppelin maneuvers. The focus for Plant, according to the current press cycle, is squarely on his Saving Grace endeavor, with fans and critics alike recognizing this as a potential late-career masterpiece that could redefine his legacy beyond his legendary Zeppelin days.
