The announcement details a series of UK and Irish dates for June 2027. Artist pre-sales begin on Tuesday, with general tickets going on sale on Friday.

“Robert Plant’s Saving Grace feat. Suzi Dian will tour UK & Dublin in June 2027. Artist pre-sale begins Tuesday; general on-sale begins Friday,” the post read.

The tour includes stops across England and Ireland. “JUNE 19 LONDON, Hampton Court Palace Festival. JUNE 24 LINCOLN. JUNE 26 SCARBOROUGH, Open Air Theatre. JUNE 27 HALIFAX. JUNE 29 DUBLIN, Trinity College Summer Series. With special guests Kate Rusby & Seth Lakeman.”

The announcement marks the expansion of Plant’s 2027 tour schedule with Saving Grace.

Saving Grace is Plant’s first album and touring project with a new band of distinguished players. The group includes singer Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown. The album was recorded between April 2019 and January 2025 in the Cotswolds and on the Welsh Borders, and arrived on September 26 on Nonesuch Records. As the billing suggests, Suzi Dian sings almost as much as Plant does.

In recent decades, Plant has been interested in vocal harmony, with his albums with Alison Krauss showing influence from the Everly Brothers and from Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris. Saving Grace reconfigures some of Plant’s favorite musical elements: the blues, Celtic picking, and Arabic modes. The album received critical acclaim and was described as harmonizing Plant and Suzi Dian while the band played these varied styles.

Plant returned to the US in September 2026 with Saving Grace and Suzi Dian for the tour Up the Sharp End, which ran from September 18 to October 15, 2026. In October 2026, Plant released Saving Grace: All That Glitters…, a four-track digital EP, which had previously been released on vinyl for Record Store Day. Robert Plant also received the Americana Music Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award at the 25th Annual Americana Honors & Awards at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on September 16. Kate Rusby and Seth Lakeman will appear as special guests at the Lincoln, Scarborough and Halifax dates in June 2027.
