Robert Plant and Saving Grace announce new 2027 UK and Ireland summer tour
Robert Plant and Saving Grace will play five outdoor dates across the UK and Ireland in June 2027. The run begins at Hampton Court Palace on 19 June and ends at Trinity College Dublin on 29 June, extending the band’s touring after the release of their 2025 album.
The other shows are at Lincoln Castle on 24 June, Scarborough Open Air Theatre on 26 June and Halifax’s Piece Hall on 27 June. The dates overlap with Glastonbury Festival, making Plant’s appearance there seem unlikely, though not impossible. Pre-sales open on 4 and 5 November, with general sale on 6 November; Kate Rusby and Seth Lakeman will support in Lincoln, Scarborough and Halifax.

- Robert Plant and Saving Grace announce five summer 2027 dates.
