Robert Plant returns to Salt Lake City with Saving Grace and Rosie Flores on October 8, 2026 at the Abravanel Hall. Details and tickets here.

Robert Plant brings his acclaimed project Saving Grace to the stage for an unforgettable evening of roots-inspired music that bridges the past and present. Joined by vocalist Suzi Dian, guitarist Matt Worley, guitarist Tony Kelsey, drummer Oli Jefferson, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown, Plant explores a rich musical landscape shaped by folk, blues, gospel, country, and traditional song. Together, the ensemble breathes new life into timeless material while uncovering fresh possibilities within these beloved genres.

Originally formed as a grassroots collaboration in the Welsh borderlands, Saving Grace grew organically from a shared passion for musical discovery. The group’s sound is both intimate and expansive, weaving together haunting harmonies, hypnotic rhythms, and masterful musicianship. Their repertoire ranges from centuries-old traditional songs and spirituals to inventive interpretations of contemporary artists, creating performances that feel both deeply rooted and strikingly original.

For Plant, whose legendary career spans decades and includes his iconic work with Led Zeppelin, Saving Grace represents a creative revelation. Rather than looking backward, the group celebrates the living, evolving nature of folk and roots music, offering audiences a captivating journey through songs of love, loss, hope, and resilience. The result is a powerful and deeply moving concert experience that showcases one of rock’s most celebrated voices in an entirely new light.
