Robert Plant BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Robert Plant, the golden-voiced Led Zeppelin legend, has dominated rock headlines this week with his bold 2026 tour announcements, signaling a rootsy Americana revival that could cement his late-career legacy. American Songwriter reports Plant and Saving Grace kick off their Spring Fever US trek March 14 in Albuquerque, hitting Dallas, Memphis, Nashvilles Ryman Auditorium, Knoxville's Big Ears Festival, and wrapping April 7 at New York City's Cathedral of St. John the Divine, with Suzi Dian opening. Expect sparse Zeppelin nods like Black Dog and Gallows Pole amid fresh cuts from their September 2025 album Saving Grace, as Plant dodges the nostalgia trap, per his Mojo chat.

Croatia Week dropped a stunner January 30: Plant plays an exclusive Saving Grace gig June 20 at Sibeniks atmospheric St. Michaels Fortress, tickets hitting Eventim February 2 at 78 euros. This Adriatic gem, part of the All That Glitters tour, blends folk-blues reworks of Ramble On and covers from Neil Young, hailed by The Guardian and Uncut for its intimate vibe.

Sanilac Broadcasting and Thunderbolt Radio echo the US dates, spotlighting Plants recent NPR Tiny Desk triumph with Gospel Plough, Higher Rock, and a haunting Gallows Pole. Rock Photography tweeted the tour buzz January 28, hyping the classics amid new terrain.

Offstage, Express and Star reminisced January 31 on Plants Midlands devotion, his Wolves fandom enduring from age five, complete with past pub pint-pulling for fans. No fresh public sightings or social flares emerge, but Spreaker podcasts buzz his Americana pivot and Zeppelin shadow. At 77, Plants shunning full retro sets whispers long-term evolution, eyes on fresh memoirs over hits.
