Robert Plant returns to UK

Robert Plant has confirmed a UK tour in November with his band the Sensational Space Shifters.

They’ll play a run of shows across the country in support of upcoming album Lullaby And… The Ceaseless Roar, due via Nonesuch/East West Records on September 8. View a trailer video below.

Plant says: “It’s really a celebratory record – powerful, gritty, African, trance meets Zep.

” I’ve been around a while and I ask myself, ‘Do I have anything to say? Is there a song still inside me? In my heart?’ I see life and what’s happening to me. Along the trail there are expectations, disappointments, happiness, questions and strong relationships. Now I’m able to express my feelings through melody, power and trance – together in a kaleidoscope of sound, colour and friendship.”

Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
