Led Zeppelin front man Robert Plant is bringing his Band of Joy to Robinson Center Music Hall in Little Rock on July 15.
Tickets are on sale now here for $64.90 and $85.50 each, plus fees.
The Little Rock stop is only the second in a summer tour that will feature songs from a new album he plans for the fall, released by Rounder Records.
After the jump, more album and tour details.
According to Plant's official site:
Robert Plant has confirmed a 12 city North American tour. Beginning in July, this 1st leg of shows which will be followed by further dates in the fall will preview material from a new album. Featuring a diverse group of musicians - Patty Griffin, vocals, Darrell Scott, multi instrumentalist/vocals, Byron House, Bass/Vocals, Marco Giovino, drums and percussion/vocals, including co-producer Buddy Miller, guitar/vocals. The album is set for release on Rounder, late summer/early fall.
Kicking off in Memphis on July 13th ... the tour will feature Plant and the ’Band of Joy’ - the same musicians who also appear and play on the album.
Says Plant: "It's been a blast working on these new songs…and I'm enjoying such creativity and vitality. It's been a remarkable change of direction for all of us and as a group we all seem to have developed a new groove."
In recent weeks Plant has been in the studio working on the planned release, which will be his first since Raising Sand, the multi-platinum, 6-time Grammy® winning collaboration with fellow Rounder artist Alison Krauss. Krauss has most recently been recording with her longtime band Union Station, and will be touring with them this summer. The pair do not expect to announce a new album or tour in the coming year, though when asked about the collaboration, Plant says: "Oh yes, Alison and I get together quite often … and sometimes we dance."
