Robert Plant and Saving Grace bring their 'Roots & Branch' tour to Lincoln Castle, with special guests Kate Rusby and Seth Lakeman.
Robert Plant and Saving Grace play Lincoln Castle on Thursday 24 June 2027, part of their Roots & Branch tour. They're joined by special guests Kate Rusby and Seth Lakeman, so the night starts well before Plant takes the stage. The show begins at 18:00.
Saving Grace started at Robert Plant's home on the Welsh borders in 2019, when he brought together a group of musicians from the English countryside to work through roots music: blues, folk, gospel and country. They first played as an unheralded opening act for Fairport Convention before the pandemic intervened, and the line-up now pairs Plant's voice with Suzi Dian on vocals and accordion, plus banjo, cello and drums. The full band is Robert Plant, Suzi Dian, Oli Jefferson, Tony Kelsey, Matt Worley and Barney Morse-Brown.
The set blends new material with reimagined Led Zeppelin songs, both rooted in Welsh and Irish folk rhythms. Plant was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Americana Music Association Awards earlier this year, and the EP Saving Grace: All That Glitters follows his 2025 album Saving Grace. The Lincoln date is one stop on the Roots & Branch tour, which also takes the band to Halifax, Scarborough and Dublin. Councillor Natalie Oliver of Lincolnshire County Council suggested it could be Plant's first ever Lincoln performance in a career spanning six decades.
