It’s time to revive your Led Zeppelin phase.
From September through October, Robert Plant is playing theaters, opera houses, amphitheaters, arts centers and music halls all over North America as part of his ‘Up The Sharp End Tour’ with his backing band Saving Grace featuring Suzi Dian and special guest Rosie Flores.
While out and about, the mystical Rock Hall of Famer is really going to California.
As of now, Plant has six concerts in the Golden State. They’re scheduled to take place:
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
If you’d like to see the legendary Zeppelin frontman live, tickets are available for all shows on Plant’s autumnal run.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on seats for any one gig was $84 including fees on SeatGeek.
Prices start at $122 including fees for the San Francisco show.
Based on our findings at Set List FM, Plant and co. typically perform 13-songs per show. Typically, the group — which is more classical rock than classic rock if you catch our drift — bust out their takes on traditional covers and a handful of Zeppelin tracks.
When the band performed at New York City’s Cathedral of Saint John the Divine on April 7, the Zep cuts they played were “Ramble On,” “Four Sticks,” “Friends” and “The Rain Song.”
A celebrity.land writer attended the show and claimed “Plant’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, Plant dropped his 12th studio album “Saving Grace.”
One of the major standouts here is the aforementioned 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 it 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 track. 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 plucked from a Tolkien-esque fantasy world and America’s heartland. Plant duets with Saving Grace’s Suzi Dian here to create an unnerving, spiritual listening experience.
If you’d like to hear for yourself, you can find “Saving Grace” here.
And, as a bonus, here’s the track list for “Saving Grace” (Plant’s first album since 2021’s “Raise The Roof” with Alison Krauss and first solo effort since 2017’s “Carry Fire”):
01.) “Chevrolet”
02.) “As I Roved Out” (traditional folk song)
03.) “It’s A Beautiful Day Today” (Moby Grape cover)
04.) “Soul Of A Man” (Blind Willie Johnson cover)
05.) “Ticket Taker” (the Low Anthem cover)
06.) “I Never Will Marry” (The Carter Family cover)
07.) “Higher Rock”
08.) “Too Far From You”
09.) “Everybody’s Song” (Low cover)
10.) “Gospel Plough”
Some tracks were previously performed by Memphis Minnie, Martha Scanlan and Sarah Siskind.
Saving Grace
In 2019, Plant formed the four-person group Saving Grace.
For the past six 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.”
Robert Plant NPR Tiny Desk concert
On Nov. 21, 2025, Plant and Saving Grace unveiled their five-song Tiny Desk Concert.
Over 26 scant 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:
