Trek is in support of Raise the Roof
Robert Plant and Alison Krauss have announced their first tour dates in 12 years. The trek is in support of their new album, Raise the Roof, which is available now and the long-awaited successor to their monumental 2007 album, Raising Sand. Beginning on June 1, 2022, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and 27x Grammy-winner will bring their brand new music to an international run of bandshell shows, including New York City’s Forest Hills Stadium and more.
Tickets for US dates go on sale at 10 am local time Friday, December 3rd, following a series of pre-sales starting Monday, November 29th. European dates go on sale at 9 am CET on Friday, November 26th, with pre-sales beginning Wednesday, November 24th via Ticketmaster.
The release of Raise The Roof has been accompanied by a host of major appearances and performances from Plant and Krauss. Earlier today they gave their first US TV interview tied to the album on CBS Mornings. Tonight, they will perform on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and tomorrow on CBS Saturday Morning. In the meantime this afternoon, fans can see the two icons play a few of the new songs at 1 pm EST on a global livestream presented in partnership with YouTube, in addition to a virtual conversation with critic Ann Powers at 2 pm EST, during NPR Music’s Listening Party event.
Recorded at Nashville’s Sound Emporium Studios, sessions for Raise The Roof began in late 2019 and wrapped just weeks before the world went into lockdown. Like Raising Sand, T Bone Burnett produced the collection, which delivers a cosmic collision of early blues, country deep cuts, revolutionary folk-rock and lost soul music written by legends and unsung heroes like Merle Haggard, Allen Toussaint, The Everly Brothers, Anne Briggs, Geeshie Wiley, Bert Jansch, Ola Belle Reed, Brenda Burns and more.
