Robert Plant BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Robert Plant is having an extraordinary week marked by the long-awaited release of his new album Saving Grace, which hit shelves on September 26 via Nonesuch Records. Plant’s first album with the Saving Grace band finds him alongside vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and strings player Matt Worley, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown, collectively crafting what Plant calls “a song book of the lost and found.” Initial singles—particularly their reimagining of “It’s a Beautiful Day Today”—have already drawn both critical and fan acclaim. As the New York Times recently featured this project as one of fall’s Most Anticipated Albums, attention to Plant’s evolution from Led Zeppelin’s primal howler to a softer, exquisitely controlled vocalist is front and center. Critics at AttheBarrier and Rock & Blues Muse describe the album as quiet, subtle, and deeply musical, a marked shift from the thunder Plant’s fans expect but no less powerful in its artistry.

Social media has been alive with clips and reactions—Instagram is full of short live snippets from early London release performances, and fans have swarmed Ticketmaster, StubHub, and Vivid Seats in a rush for tickets to his autumn North American tour and December UK run. According to Business Insider, original tickets sold out instantly, driving resale prices sharply upward, with major dates in London, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles already trending on Twitter and WhatsApp concert channels. This has only fueled excitement, with fans sharing posts under the hashtag #SavingGraceTour2025 and tagging Plant’s official accounts with everything from behind-the-scenes photos to vintage Zeppelin shoutouts.

On the business front, Plant has kept things strictly musical—there have been no surprise entrepreneurial ventures or controversial headlines this week, according to Spreaker’s recent audio biography, making this one of his most transparently creative periods in years. Plant did take an interview call from Esquire, where he revealed some surprisingly candid insights into his songwriting and the joys of collaborative artistry, humorously remarking on the camaraderie within the band and his reluctance to be the sole center of spotlight. He describes the new band members as “sweet people” and emphasizes laughter and joy as the secret behind their evolving sound.

Looking ahead, Plant is due to launch his Saving Grace tour’s North American leg on October 30 in Wheeling, West Virginia, culminating November 23 in Valley Center, California, before returning to the UK for a special ten-date run in December, highlighted by shows at Portsmouth Guildhall on December 8 and the York Barbican on December 23. Ticket sales for these concerts have become a story in themselves, and plant-watchers are already speculating about further dates in 2026 after news that Saving Grace will perform at the Big Ears Festival next year.

In summary, the only headline encompasses: “Robert Plant’s Saving Grace: New Album Released, Sell-Out Tour Announced, Reinvention in Full Spectacle.” No major scandals, but plenty of musical intrigue, genuine excitement, and—perhaps most significant for Plant’s legacy—a demonstration that artistic reinvention and generosity remain his guiding lights at seventy-six.
