Robert Plant Announces New Album and Tour

He'll tour with The Sensational Space Shifters this November.

Published 24th Jun 2014

Robert Plant has revealed he'll release a new album entitled 'lullaby and...The Ceaseless Roar' on September 8th 2014.

The record will feature his band The Sensational Space Shifters and is Plant's first since 2010's 'Band Of Joy'.

“It’s really a celebratory record, powerful, gritty, African, Trance meets Zep,” Plant says. “The whole impetus of my life as a singer has to be driven by a good brotherhood. I am very lucky to work with The Sensational Space Shifters. They come from exciting areas of contemporary music…I have been around awhile 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 …and now I’m able to express my feelings through melody, power and trance; together in a kaleidescope of sound, colour and friendship.”
