The tour begins at Guildhall in Portsmouth on December 8, with shows in Eastbourne, London, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Middlesbrough, Newcastle, and York. Early access to tickets for pre-orders of the album from the official UK store here begin Monday, September 15. General tickets for the new tour dates go on sale Thursday, September 18.

Saving Grace is what Robert Plant calls “a song book of the lost and found." Its genesis was during lockdown, when his customary wandering was all but forbidden. It was in the English countryside that he connected closely to this diverse group of musicianswho had a shared lean towards his corners of evocative song. Produced by Plant and the band and recorded over six years in the Cotswolds and on the Welsh Borders, Saving Grace features songs by Memphis Minnie, Bob Mosley (Moby Grape), Blind Willie Johnson, The Low Anthem, Martha Scanlan, Sarah Siskind, and Low.
Robert Plant and Saving Grace will tour North America from October 30 to November 25. For details, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

Robert Plant and Saving Grace release a vinyl EP, Saving Grace: All That Glitters..., this Saturday for Record Store Day, the annual celebration of independent record stores. The record follows Plant's recent critically acclaimed album, Saving Grace; both feature singer Suzi Dian and a band of musicians from the English countryside that Plant—this year's Record Store Day Legend—calls home. The EP's four tracks, recently recorded especially for RSD, explore the folk and Americana songs that Plant and the band love: the traditional tunes "The Blackest Crow" and "Two Coats," arranged by Robert Plant and Saving Grace, as well as Gillian Welch's "Orphan Girl" and Bert Jansch's "Poison."
Composer Sarah Kirkland Snider, whose new album, Forward Into Light, was released in February, stopped by for the Nonesuch Selects video series, in which artists visit the Nonesuch office, pick some of their favorite albums from the music library, and share a few words on their choices. She chose recordings by Henryk Górecki, Steve Reich, Wilco, Laurie Anderson, Iva Bittová, Ingram Marshall, and Kronos Quartet. You can get all of Sarah Kirkland Snider's Nonesuch Selects for 25% off the everyday low prices in the Nonesuch Store through Sunday.
