๐ BREAKING: Robert Plant Officially Announces the 2026 Tour โStay With Us: Robert Plant Reunion Tour 2026โ
In a moment that stunned both rock veterans and younger music fans alike, Robert Plant โ the legendary voice of Led Zeppelin โ has officially confirmed the 2026 โStay With Us: Robert Plant Reunion Tourโ, an emotional, once-in-a-lifetime project honoring the late Ozzy Osbourne.
The tourโs mission is profound: to revive and perform songs written by Ozzy Osbourne that were never played live before his death, offering fans a rare chance to experience the Prince of Darknessโ creative genius in an entirely new light.
The Spark That Started It All
During a press event at the Royal Albert Hall in London this morning, Plant revealed that the idea had been brewing since late 2024, when Sharon Osbourne handed him a weathered leather notebook filled with Ozzyโs handwritten lyrics and rough musical notes.
โOzzy and I talked a lot about the songs he never got around to performing,โ Plant shared. โWhen I read through that notebook again, I knew these words couldnโt stay locked away. They had to be sung โ not as nostalgia, but as living, breathing music.โ
These unreleased tracks are said to range from heavy, riff-driven anthems in the spirit of Black Sabbathโs early years, to hauntingly personal ballads revealing Ozzyโs softer, introspective side.
A Reunion of Spirit โ and Sound
While the word โreunionโ in the tour title might confuse some, Plant clarified that itโs not about reuniting a specific band lineup โ itโs about reuniting with the spirit of a friend and a musical era that shaped generations.
The live shows will be a fusion of Black Sabbathโs iconic heaviness with Plantโs soaring, bluesy rock voice. The setlist will also weave in selected Led Zeppelin tracks and rare covers of classic rock standards that Ozzy himself loved.
Plant promised that each performance will be โas raw and emotional as the first time Ozzy sang these words in his head.โ

A Multimedia Experience for the Fans
This wonโt just be a concert โ itโs being billed as a full-scale multimedia tribute. The shows will feature high-definition projections of rare Ozzy footage, animated lyric displays, and archival audio clips of Osbourne himself discussing the writing process of the unreleased tracks.
Plant has also enlisted a full symphonic rock orchestra, which will accompany several of the ballads to add cinematic depth.
One of the emotional highlights will be โStay With Usโ, the title track of the tour, a ballad Plant describes as โOzzyโs quiet cry to those he loved โ a song about holding on, even when everything feels like itโs slipping away.โ
A Legacy That Lives On
To ensure Ozzyโs legacy reaches beyond the concert halls, a live album and documentary are planned for release in late 2026, capturing the magic of the performances and the behind-the-scenes process of resurrecting these songs.
A portion of all ticket sales will go toward The Ozzy Osbourne Music Foundation, which funds music programs for children in underserved communities.
โIf even one kid picks up a guitar because of this, weโve done something worth more than gold records,โ Plant said.
Global Reaction
The announcement instantly set social media ablaze, with hashtags like #StayWithUsTour, #OzzyLivesOn, and #RobertPlant2026 trending worldwide. Fans expressed a mix of disbelief and anticipation:
โNever thought Iโd live to see Plant singing unreleased Ozzy songs,โ one fan posted. โThis is rock history in the making.โ
Rolling Stone called it โthe most ambitious rock tribute of the decadeโ, while Kerrang! magazine praised the idea as โa bridge between the raw power of Sabbath and the poetic soul of Zeppelin.โ
Closing Words from Plant
As the press conference came to an end, Plantโs voice grew quieter:
โOzzy was more than a rock icon โ he was a mate, a mischief-maker, a poet. I want these songs to remind people of the man behind the madness. And I want the music to keep him with us. Always.โ
Tickets for the โStay With Us: Robert Plant Reunion Tour 2026โ go on sale next month, with an exclusive pre-sale for fan club members starting one week earlier.
If the energy in the room at todayโs announcement is any indication, these shows are destined to sell out within hours โ and go down as one of the most moving tributes in rock history.
