Robert Plant and Saving Grace Announce Two Exclusive Kingston Shows to Celebrate Upcoming Album Release

Legendary Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant is set to bring an unforgettable musical experience to fans this September, as he and his critically acclaimed collaborative group Saving Grace, featuring the mesmerizing vocals of Suzi Dian, announce two intimate performances in Kingston, London.

The exclusive shows, scheduled for Saturday, September 28, will serve as both a celebration of Saving Grace’s highly anticipated new album and a rare opportunity for fans to witness one of rock’s greatest icons in a uniquely personal setting.

Two Shows, Two Release Times

To accommodate demand — and perhaps to heighten the sense of anticipation — the band has scheduled two separate performances on the same day.

• First performance: 5:00 PM

• Second performance: 7:00 PM

In a carefully timed release, album/ticket bundles for the 7:00 PM show will go on sale at 11:00 AM BST on Tuesday, August 12, while bundles for the 5:00 PM show will become available at 1:00 PM BST the same day. This staggered sale is expected to help manage what will almost certainly be overwhelming demand from fans across the UK and beyond.

An Album Worth the Wait

Saving Grace, formed by Plant and featuring Suzi Dian on co-lead vocals, is known for blending folk, blues, and Americana influences into a haunting, soulful sound that is both timeless and refreshingly modern. Their upcoming album, still shrouded in a bit of mystery, is said to capture the raw intimacy of their live performances while expanding the sonic palette with new arrangements and instrumental textures.

In recent interviews, Plant has expressed excitement about the project, describing it as a deeply collaborative effort. “Working with Suzi and the rest of Saving Grace has opened doors I never expected to walk through at this stage in my career,” Plant told a UK music outlet earlier this summer. “This album feels like a journey — one that’s taken us through new landscapes while still keeping a connection to the roots of the music we love.”

Why Kingston?

Kingston, a historic market town just southwest of central London, might seem like an unusual choice for such a high-profile release celebration. However, Plant and the band have deliberately chosen a more intimate setting to create a direct connection with the audience.

“Massive stadiums have their own magic,” Plant has said, “but there’s something profoundly human about being in a smaller room, where you can see the whites of people’s eyes and feel the music resonating between you.”

Fans lucky enough to attend can expect a setlist that draws heavily from the upcoming album, interwoven with reimagined classics and deep cuts from Plant’s extensive catalog. Given Saving Grace’s reputation for delivering emotionally charged, acoustically rich performances, these Kingston shows promise to be an unmissable experience.

The Suzi Dian Factor

Much of Saving Grace’s unique sound rests on the chemistry between Plant and Suzi Dian. Dian’s voice — warm, expressive, and powerful — complements Plant’s signature tone in a way that elevates the entire performance. Together, they create harmonies that are both earthy and ethereal, evoking a sense of storytelling that feels ancient and immediate all at once.

Critics have praised Dian not just as a vocalist, but as a co-creator who brings her own artistry into the arrangements. “Suzi isn’t just singing alongside Robert Plant,” wrote one reviewer after a recent Saving Grace show. “She’s shaping the sound, the mood, and the narrative in a way that makes you forget you’re listening to a legend — you’re listening to a band.”

Ticket and Bundle Details

For these Kingston performances, tickets will be sold exclusively as part of album/ticket bundles. This approach not only guarantees fans a seat at the show but also ensures they receive the new album upon its release.

• 7:00 PM show bundles: On sale Tuesday, August 12 at 11:00 AM BST

• 5:00 PM show bundles: On sale Tuesday, August 12 at 1:00 PM BST

Given the extremely limited capacity of the venue, organizers are urging fans to be online and ready the moment tickets go live. Past Saving Grace performances have sold out in minutes, and with Plant’s enduring global popularity, demand is expected to be intense.

A Celebration of Music, Not Just an Event

While the commercial aspect of any album launch is undeniable, Plant has emphasized that these shows are meant to be more than a publicity exercise. They’re a chance to share the new music in a space that allows for genuine exchange between artist and audience.

“We’ve poured our hearts into this album,” Plant said. “Playing it live for the first time in a room full of people who are there not just to hear the music, but to feel it — that’s the real celebration.”

For fans, the Kingston shows will be a rare alignment of circumstances: a legendary artist at the peak of his creative powers, an inspired collaborative band, a new body of work ready to be unveiled, and a venue small enough to make it all feel deeply personal.

Looking Ahead

Following the Kingston performances, Saving Grace is expected to announce a series of select tour dates in the UK and possibly Europe. While no official schedule has been released, insiders suggest that Plant and the band are eager to bring the new album to a wider audience in live settings — though likely sticking to smaller, acoustically rich venues that match the band’s intimate sound.

For now, all eyes are on August 12, when fans will scramble to secure their spots at what could be one of the most talked-about live music events of the year. Whether you’re a lifelong Led Zeppelin devotee, a fan of Plant’s solo work, or a newcomer enchanted by Saving Grace’s rich, soulful sound, these Kingston shows promise to be a celebration of artistry, collaboration, and the enduring power of live music.
