One of the 20th century’s most essential performers is still going strong 26 years into the 21st.
After striking out on spring and summer tours, Robert Plant and his backing band Saving Grace are hitting theaters, opera houses, amphitheaters, arts centers and music halls all over North America from September through November.
While out and about, the “Going To California” singer has not one, not two, not three, not four, not five but six (!) huge concerts scheduled all over the Golden State.
The sextet of Cali gigs are slated to go down:
Yaamava Theater
Highland, CA
Saturday, Sept. 26
Humphrey’s Concerts By the Bay
San Diego, CA
Monday, Sept. 28
Vina Robles Amphitheatre
Paso Robles, CA
Tuesday, Sept. 29
Arlington Theatre
Santa Barbara, CA
Thursday, Oct. 1
Orpheum Theatre
San Francisco, CA
Friday, Oct. 2
SAFE Credit Union Performing Arts Center
Sacramento, CA
Monday, Oct. 5
As of now, last-minute tickets are available for all 16 Plant shows with Saving Grace featuring Suzi Dian and special guest Rosie Flores.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on seats for any one gig was $73 including fees on StubHub.
Prices start at $80 including fees to see Plant in California (that’s for the Paso Robles show).
After digging through the archives on Set List FM, records indicate that Plant and co. typically play approximately 13-14 songs at their otherworldly live concerts.
That includes Led Zeppelin favorites “Ramble On,” “Four Sticks,” “Friends” and “The Rain Song” along with non-traditional covers of traditional songs.
A Post writer was lucky enough to have caught Plant live on April 7 at New York City’s Cathedral of Saint John the Divine and, after the show, claimed “the legendary singer’s husky falsetto is still intact and his precise, nimble, almost inhuman guttural vocals filled the cathedral. Of course, he’s absolutely ferocious on the harmonica, too.”
They added, “Every song takes you on a journey where you feel as if you’re trudging through the forests of Mordor. This is a true spiritual experience. Hearing Plant play Zeppelin live can heal you.”

Robert Plant new music
On Sept. 26, 2025, Plant dropped his 12th studio album “Saving Grace.”
One of the major standouts here is a cover of Low’s “Everbody’s Song.” Although the high-pitched yelp that made Plant famous has become a bit gruffer and raspier over the years, the indefatigable spirit is still deeply embedded within his voice that makes this track unmistakably Robert Plant-ian.
Over Zeppelin-esque “Battle of Evermore”-like mandolins — that wouldn’t sound out of place over a “Game of Thrones” battle — the jolly collaborators deliver a truly foreboding anthem. It’s sweeping, epic, intimate and much heavier than Plant’s detour into bluegrass these past few years.
Also, be sure to check out “Gospel Plough,” which somehow sounds like it was both plucked from a Tolkien-esque fantasy world and America’s heartland all at once. Plant duets with Saving Grace’s Suzi Dian here to create an unnerving, spiritual listening experience that’ll rattle you to your core.
If you’d like to hear these songs and others, you can find “Saving Grace” in its entirety here.
Who is Robert Plant’s backing band?
In 2019, Plant formed the four-person group Saving Grace.
For the past seven years, Suzi Dian (vocals), Oli Jefferson (percussion), Tony Kelsey (mandolin, baritone and acoustic guitar) and Matt Worley (banjo, cuatro and acoustic and baritone guitars) have been waiting for their moment in the sun.
The handpicked group was originally supposed to perform live in 2020 — they announced their tour on March 3, 2020 (!) — but their trek was promptly canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
After doing a bit of digging, we found their music is typically comprised of “songs that span Plant’s diverse tastes and influences, notably his lifelong passion for British and American folk, spirituals, and traditional blues.” Plant also referred to their sound as “psychedelic soul.”
What is there to know about Rosie Flores?
Flores, 76, is an American rockabilly, blues and country singer who has been active since the ’70s.
She’s known for work with Screamin’ Sirens and Asleep at the Wheel as well as tracks like the smoky “Simple Case of the Blues,” aww-shucks ballad “If There Was a Way” and mournful “Mercy Fell Like Rain.”
To hear for yourself, you can find Flores’ complete discography here.
Robert Plant NPR Tiny Desk concert
Plant and Saving Grace unveiled their five-song Tiny Desk Concert On Nov. 21, 2025.
Over 26 quick minutes, the sextet delivered tracks from their new album like “Gospel Plough,” “Higher Rock” “Everybody’s Song” “It’s a Beautiful Day Today” and the Zeppelin classic “Gallows Pole.”
To get a taste for yourself of the songs NPR called “more restrained and profoundly beautiful folk, blues and roots music,” you can find their entire concert below:
