Robert Plant and Alison Krauss Launch 2022 Tour: Photos, Set List

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss kicked off their 2022 summer tour with a 20-song set at the Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center in Canandaigua, New York last night (June 1).

You can see exclusive photos and the full set list from the show below.

It was the first time the genre-blending solo stars had performed as a duo since releasing their second collaborative album, 2021's Raising the Roof . As Plant noted from the stage at one point during the very hot and humid night, it was also the first time they had played a full show together in over 13 years . "So no panic here," he joked, later adding: "This is a very ticklish moment for us. I think we're doing OK? Good thing we've got some fans working."

Plant and Krauss were backed by a five-piece band featuring drummer Jay Bellerose, upright bassist Dennis Crouch (who Plant declared to be his "favorite musician in the whole world"), multi-instrumentalists Stuart Duncan and Viktor Krauss and guitarist JD McPherson, who also delivered a crowd-pleasing opening solo set.

The set list featured nearly every song from Raising the Roof , as well as a half-dozen from the duo's award-winning 2007 debut Raising Sand . Apart from a brief thank you from Krauss at the end of the night, Plant did all of the talking between songs. He also handled the slight majority of the lead vocals, with a voice that was strong, rich and full throughout the evening.

Krauss also repeatedly and effortlessly commanded the spotlight, unleashing soaring vocals on "It Don't Bother Me" and gorgeous fiddle playing on "Please Read the Letter." The duo's shared chemistry was evident throughout the night, most notably when they revisited Plant's Led Zeppelin past with a spine-tingling " The Battle of Evermore ."

Plant and Krauss are currently scheduled to conclude their 2022 tour on Sept. 4 in Austin, Texas. You can get complete show and ticket information at RobertPlant.com .

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss Renew a Collaboration That Should Last for ‘Evermore’: Concert Review

The duo shone at L.A.'s Greek with a show that fed three Led Zeppelin songs into a set otherwise taken from the pair's beloved 2007 'Raising Sand' album and its 2021 sequel.

In the annals of popular music, has there ever been a more successful confluence of two existing solo brands than Robert Plant and Alison Krauss ? Pretty much as a rule, duos start out in that configuration, then crash in clashes of egos; they’re not things that begin 20, 30, 40 years into respective careers. The long-lost fad of CSNY-style supergroups is one thing, but superduos never really became a thing at all, at least in that same joining-of-the-titans sense. Apparently there’s an eternal shortage of superstars willing to put themselves in an ongoing creative situation that could result at any moment in that scariest of scenarios for an alpha creative: a tie.

Yet here, like kismet, are Plant and Krauss, the exception to the rule. And here like Brigadoon they are, too, destined to pop up every 14 years or so, as they did Thursday at the Greek in L.A., appearing there for the first time since they were Grammy royals back in 2008. It would be nice if everyone could set their alarms for the next occasion for much sooner than than 2036. This time next summer, say, would be fine.) But sometimes it’s the anomalousness of a coming-together that helps make the magic. These two feel born to be together … occasionally. Thursday’s show felt like home, and like Halley’s comet.

Their sophomore album as a duo, last fall’s “Raise the Roof,” felt very much like the belated sequel it was to 2007’s “Raising Sand,” the collection that won them six Grammys, including the two highest honors, album and record of the year. The newer album has not been in any danger of achieving those same pop-culture-phenomenon heights, and no one expected it to, given how wonderfully weird it was that a record as rich, subtle and peculiar as the first took off the way it did, to became the coffee-table CD of its day. But the magic hadn’t worn off for fans of the pairing, who loved that the follow-up had T Bone Burnett back producing, was recorded with mostly the same players under the same spontaneous conditions, guys who 14 years earlier had seemed to be inventing their own new musical language, using ancient grains. Both albums are all-covers collections (except for a single  Burnett/Plant co-write on the latest one, “High and Lonesome”). And both seem to be taking place deep in the holler, somewhere near a swampland and in outer space all at once.

The touring unit is not quite the same this time around, though, at least in its leadership, which might’ve made a scattered few fans who pay attention to these sort of things wonder if they were going to be getting something like the Broadway-road-show version of what they got a decade and a half ago. Burnett, no fan of touring, is not on board as band leader and guitarist this time; neither is Buddy Miller, the featured soloist in the concerts of the late 2000s. But it’s no disparagement to either of those deserving legend to say that the solution to filling those shoes this time works just as well, or better. JD McPherson is the lead guitarist and fantastic opening act, and while that’s quite a break for him, it’s also a boon for the audience, many of whom are getting their first exposure to one of the best there is in American rock ‘n’ roll.

McPherson really does help raise the roof, speaking of that latest album title, with a soloing style that’s just a little less indebted to the moody tremolo of the swamp — though he can do that, too — and more to a virtuosic but super-charged take on the rockabilly/country/early R&B-rooted stuff he’s been skillfully updating for the 21st century for several albums now. He highly energizes several portions of the show without ever seeming like he’s out to steal it. You could see Plant’s and Krauss’ admiration in how, after usually singing apart from one another, they’d step back together into the shadows to look at him like proud parents.

Not that McPherson’s become a favorite child yet, or is likely to, since Plant, at least, made it unabashedly clear in his band introductions who’s at the top of the hierarchy. Jay Bellerose, a recurring figure in Burnett’s stable of musicians, was introduced by the former Led Zeppelin frontman as “my favorite musician in the world,” and it’s not a big mystery why someone who’s worked with some of the greatest guitar players of all time might say that about a drummer, if it’s this one in particular. If anyone could ever be described as “on the beat, and offbeat,” it’s Bellerose, who rarely resorts to sticks as long as there are mallets or brushes in supply, and who is rarely playing a rhythm you might feel with 100% certainty you’ve heard on stage before. He’s the key linguist making Plant and Krauss’ music feel like it’s discovered an unknown dialect.

At the same time, he’s not doing anything to overshadow some pretty famous fellow veterans of this ensemble: Stuart Duncan, who plays second fiddle, second guitar and first mandolin and dobro, and the two (count ’em) two bassists, Dennis Crouch (“king of the stand-up bass,” said Plant) and Viktor Krauss, brother of the frontwoman, who also handles the extremely spare keyboards that come in just about as an afterthought.

A second fiddle means there must be a first, and needless to say that speaks to Krauss, who came up in the bluegrass scene as a fiddler first and vocalist second, before becoming America’s singer of choice of spooky-sweet pop-country ballads. Krauss doesn’t actually have credits for violin on a lot of the songs on the two albums she’s done with Plant. But he is the primary lead singer on a lot of the material in the show — especially with three Zeppelin songs being part of the set list — and she does need something to do with her hands. So does Plant, for that matter, but in his case, it’s maracas, and in hers, it’s a world-class instrumentalist bringing quite a bit more of what brought her to the dance to this pairing in the concert setting.

With Duncan, Krauss formed a string section for what probably counted as the highlight of the show for many — a version of Zeppelin’s classic “When the Levee Breaks” that managed to cleverly interpolate some of the instrumental parts from a separate Zeppelin song, “Friends.” It turns out Krauss is well capable of making her instrument feel as much Middle Eastern as middle-Tennessean. Anyone who wants to name “Levee” as a peak moment can’t be blamed, but the real high point, exercising some editorial prerogative here, was the Zep cover that immediately preceded it, “The Battle of Evermore,” in which it was Krauss’ voice making the substantial contribution to a ’70s rock standard, her belt making the recorded version feel forever like it’s missing something going forward.

There was yet a third Zeppelin chestnut, too — “Rock and Roll,” placed much earlier in the set as the fifth song, perhaps to assure the audience that Plant would not be boycotting their youthful favorites. Unlike the perhaps surprisingly faithful attitude taken on the other two more mystical-feeling Zep numbers, “Rock and Roll” deviated to be turned into a pure country hoedown. It might’ve been a long time since we did that, too.

Playing twin violins on the few occasions they did, Krauss and Duncan made for such a strong two-person string section that you almost felt the band might be able to get away with a properly majestic “Kashmir.” This was not attempted. Nor was anything from Krauss’ solo/Union Station catalog, which she seems to have no interest in bringing into these joint shows. That, along with the fact that Plant carries the weight of speaking to the audience, might foment the idea that he is the leader of this pack, if there is one. (Burnett, in talking with Variety for a profile of Plant and Krauss last year, insisted it’s really closer to being her.) The dynamics that they’ve set out for their joint touring personas, at least, became clear when Plant mentioned how much chattier she used to be in performance and asked, “Remember when you used to talk?” “No,” came her inevitable answer.

Knowing that one of Plant’s main self-directives is to not repeat himself too much, it really may be unlikely that we’ll see them suddenly adopt themselves to an open-air circuit, again and again. So this tour provides a good chance to relish arguably the most dignified rocker of his generation doing what he does, which of course is a far calmer performance than what would have transpired in golden-god days. Occasionally he’d do a high ad-lib on a Zeppelin song that hinted at the days when he and Janis Joplin jockeyed for the same upper register. But it’s been decades since he made the wise choice to settle into sub-falsetto octaves that would serve him well in the future — and that are his most beautiful anyway. He has made the further choice to partner with a soprano … but it sure seems like there’s a fleeting moment or two where you notice he’s suddenly taken the high part in their harmonies.

Their 2022 has taken an unusual path, with the eastern part of the country being the only routing that was announced at first, throwing Los Angeles, et al. into a panic, before the west got what was coming to it after a European interlude. L.A represented the third stop on the second leg of their U.S. tour, which will end back in New York at the Beacon on Sept. 12. One difference between the tour’s first and second halves is that three songs have been dropped along the way, taking it down from 20 to 17. It would have been nice to see the version of the show that ended more sentimentally, with Maria Muldaur’s “Someone Was Watching Over Me” (since dropped) as a final encore number.

But it’s hard to imagine the show ending more perfectly than it now does, even if — or especially because — it closes with such a sense of high spirits and even some wit to it. The main set closed with a rocking version of the Everly Brothers’ “Gone Gone Gone,” which from its title alone feels like a fait accompli closer. But the encore pick feels like a funny rejoinder: “Can’t Let Go,” their cover of Lucinda Williams’ cover of a Randy Weeks tune. It’d be a natural outro anyway, as a sing-along that also gives the guitarist McPherson one last chance to sting like a bee, too. But the title also knowingly, and a little bit cheekily, speaks to how much this is a show the audience really doesn’t want to let go of. Let’s hope they don’t, either, regardless of whether 14-year absences make the heart grow fonder.

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss on Their 2024 Tour, ‘Stairway to Heaven,’ Retirement, and Much More

By Brian Hiatt

Brian Hiatt

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss aren’t ready to stop singing together just yet. “We’ve been doing this on and off since 2007,” says Krauss, “and it’s just gotten better every time we’ve gotten together.” So after touring for the past two years behind their second collaborative album, 2021’s Raise the Roof , they’re adding 28 tour dates this year, beginning in June. Krauss and Plant gave Rolling Stone for their only interview about the new tour, explaining why they just can’t quit each other, discussing future plans, breaking down their set list, and much more. Some highlights follow, and you can hear the entire conversation on the latest episode of our Rolling Stone Music Now podcast — go  here  for the podcast provider of your choice, listen on  Apple Podcasts  or  Spotify , or just press play below.

Editor’s picks

The 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history, every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term.

Alison Krauss:  It’s felt great. I’m really glad that we’ve been able to revisit this as many times as we have. The band has more room, and I get a little more consistency with what’s happening when it’s time for me to jump in and sing harmony. And I thought, “Oh, it’ll be too long in between …” But it’s amazing how quickly the months go by before we go out again. I’m really looking forward to doing it again.

Alison, when you mentioned a little more consistency, I know that was always kind of an issue. Robert sings with a lot of freedom and improvisation, so it was always a challenge to harmonize. How are those things changing to make it easier? Krauss: Oh, I don’t know if they’re changing [laughs] . It’s just that I can catch a little bit more of his phrasing when he looks my way.  He’s always very funny, because he’s like, “Don’t worry about it!” He goes, “It’s the same. It’s the same every time.” And i’m like, “It’s never the same!” So, you know, I gotta hang on for dear life.

Plant: I don’t notice any of that!

Of course not. Krauss: [Laughs] He doesn’t notice.

I’ve learned a lot, and those moments are hair-raising. It’s great to be learning and be contrite and humble and come into your dressing room bowing and saying “Can you just explain the last harmony to me again?”

Krauss: It’s not quite like that!

Bob dylan and willie nelson unite for epic 'outlaw' summer tour, robert plant squashes his 16-year beef with ‘stairway to heaven’.

What have the two of you both been up to since July, when the last dates ended? Krauss: I’ve been in the studio recording. And that’s a tedious process. Plant: I’ve got a group of friends that I play with over here a little bit from time to time. I’ve also been going through all that stuff that I never released and never quite got finished. And getting excited about it. Going, “Wow. What am I going to do with that?” It’s the idioms, the visitation, the places that I’ve been musically which were not complete are just mind-boggling, and they’re a little bit overwhelming.

Are you writing new songs as well, Robert? Plant: I’ve got a Tascam digital recorder, and I sing, and I put the vocals through a guitar pedal, and then I record them on that over there, and it sounds great. Why bother to go to the studio? But I can’t find words. This is a very difficult time to try and wax lyrical out there.

I love that. Alison, in your genre, it’s taken for granted that people will stay onstage until, basically, they can’t stand up anymore, even beyond. You’re quite young still, but I’m sure that you’ve always taken it for granted that you’re going to be doing this if you can when you’re 80 or 90. Krauss: You never know how you’re going to feel, and you never know when you’re going to feel different. With this music, I think so many people started so young, and they toured so much. It’s all they knew. It’s hard to say, what I’m going to feel when when I get older. 

Robert, there’s people of your generation retiring. Do you think about retirement? You seem to love being on the road, so do you want to just push it as long as you can push it? Plant: The camaraderie, the things that you share up there, and the frailties that you know you’re carrying with you quietly, the exposure of yourself to yourself, is something that I would hate to say goodbye to. I can’t just sit back. Out there in the real world, people say to me, “What about the book?” And I say, “Are you kidding? What? This is spectacular. Why think about it twice?” This is today. What happened in Schenectady in 1969 is another story. And for me, the continuum must keep going. Today, I was pulling all my lyric books out and going, “Gotta get the groove back. I’ve got something to say.” So yeah, I’m going to keep going — as long as they’ve got effects machines that make me sound good [laughs] . Well, it worked for Elvis! Listen to the compression on his voice on some of those big ballads in ’57.  

Robert, you sang “Stairway to Heaven” for the first time in many years at a charity event last year. What did that feel like? Plant: It was cathartic. People go, “Oh, that’s good. He never was going to do that.” But I didn’t really do it! I just blurted it out. ‘Cause it’s such an important song to me for where I was at the time and where I was with Jimmy and with John and Bonzo. So on that night, it was what it was. It was a trial by fire, but I felt better at the end than at the beginning. 

Finally, you have these 30 or so dates, and you have your own careers. What are your hopes for the future of this collaboration? Plant: I really hope that we pull a cat out of the bag again.  

Krauss: We have had such a great time making those records and touring that I’d love to see it happen again, too. I feel like we’ve made something new when we recorded together. The whole thing has been a surprise for me. And I know it was for Robert too, although he seems to have more bravery in this department.

Robert Plant, Alison Krauss Set 2023 North American Tour

by Tina Benitez-Eves February 1, 2023, 10:48 am

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss are set to go back on tour together with two dozen spring and summer North America dates in 2023.

Videos by American Songwriter

Their Raising the Roof Tour will kick off on April 25 in Shreveport, Louisiana, and wrap up on July 5 in Toronto, Canada. The duo is touring in support of their most recent collaborative album,  Raise the Roof , released in 2021.

Produced by T Bone Burnett, Raise the Roof recently picked up three 2023 Grammy nominations for Best Americana Album, Best Country Duo/Group Performance, and Best American Roots Song for the single “High and Lonesome.”

Raise the Roof was released 14 years after Plant and Krauss’ first album together,  Raising Sand , which earned them a Grammy for Album of the Year.

The duo recently talked about the possibility of making a third album to follow up Raise the Roof .

“I can’t see any reason why not,” said Plant on making new music with Krauss. “I suppose if we wait another 14 years it could be a bit dicey for me, to be honest. I might find it a little bit difficult hitting a top C—but we can say it really works well, and we enjoy each other and that’s a great thing, so it seems like a great idea.”

Plant also recently revealed that he is working on a second Band Of Joy album in addition to an expanded version of the Honeydrippers record. Released in 1984, the one-off The Honeydrippers: Volume One , was a collaborative album featuring his Led Zeppelin bandmate, guitarist Jimmy Page and the late Jeff Beck .

Robert Plant & Alison Krauss Announce 2023 Tour

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss have announced several dozen 2023 tour dates for the U.S. and Canada. The pair continue to support their 2021 collaborative album, Raise the Roof . Tickets for the new shows go on sale here on Feb. 3, following several presale events. See the complete itinerary below.

Having won six Grammy awards—including Album and Record of the Year—for their 2007 collaboration, Raising Sand , Plant and Krauss’ followup album was released on Rounder Records and has since been nominated for three Grammy Awards including Best Americana album.

The album features 12 new recordings of songs originally recorded by Merle Haggard, Allen Toussaint, the Everly Brothers, Anne Briggs, Geeshie Wiley, Bert Jansch and others.

Like its predecessor, which generated platinum sales, Raise the Roof was produced by T Bone Burnett, who worked with former Led Zeppelin frontman Plant and popular Americana vocalist Krauss, accompanied by drummer Jay Bellerose, guitarists Marc Ribot, David Hidalgo, Bill Frisell and Buddy Miller, bassists Dennis Crouch and Viktor Krauss, along with pedal steel guitarist Russ Pahl, among others.

Plant told Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe about the decision to record mostly covers.

“It gives us the opportunity to put our own personality into somebody else’s work,” he says, “which in places it’s quite profound and coming from another time when songwriting and people’s stories and statements and concerns were from a totally different time with a different onus. And I think that gives us a opportunity not to crush the original idea, but to just take it into another place, which is our goal. And it’s been remarkable really. We did exchange music for such a long time but then scuttled on to the next project. And then, slowly but surely, we have this thing where we can explore the less trodden pathways, I think of these songs.”

Krauss adds, “I’m not a songwriter. So my whole life is searching out songs and songwriters and interpreting another person’s story. So getting to hear more wonderful people and tell their story from something of a whole other world to me is really magical.”

Watch their interview with Apple Music 1 here .

Other highlights include a Plant-Burnett original, “High and Lonesome,” and the classic “Can’t Let Go,” written by Randy Weeks and first recorded by Lucinda Williams.

The first release, “Can’t Let Go,” spent 10 weeks at #1 on the Americana radio charts.

Adds Plant, “You hear something and you go, ‘Man, listen to that song, we got to sing that song!’ It’s a vacation, really—the perfect place to go that you least expected to find.”

On Nov. 19, the pair presented a global livestream. Backed by an all-star band in Nashville’s Sound Emporium Studios, they debuted a selection of songs from Raise the Roof exclusively for audiences on YouTube.

In addition to winning all six Grammy Awards for which it was nominated, 2007’s  Raising Sand also earned a CMA Award for Musical Event of the Year, plus Album of the Year and Duo/Group of the Year accolades from the Americana Music Honors and Awards.

If this new song is an indication of the the rest of the lp, it’s a winner. There needs to be a live LP from the first tour.

I love Alison Krauss and have seen her live twice, but I really don’t care for her and Robert Plant singing together. His voice was great when in Zepplin, but IMO the two together, not a fit. Also the music sounds like it is a computer. I think a reason they have been popular together is because all the Zepplin fans want to hear something from Plant and Krauss would sound good singing a cookbook. Just my opinion.

The music sounds like a computer? Ignorant comment.

I agree . Monotonous is the word I think. The Zep T shirts get in line to be rewarded with an Art lesson rather than entertainment. Then again, I suppose that suffering is a type of delight to some.

I agree with you about Krauss. Her voice is angelic. Plant, on the other hand, never did it for me. Ever. Like Neil Young, I find his voice grating and shrill. I don’t care for his singing, and so I’ll just step away from the Plant/Krauss pairing. Good luck to them, but I’m not buying their music.

Harsh Critique… I Enjoy the Earlier Musical Talents of each Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, and the Pairing of Plant and Krauss as a Duet Team. I Greatly Enjoy their Vocal Blending in Performing Songs of the Past.. The Music Awards for their last (2) Albums Speak to their Fan Base and Musical Success…

Robert Plant & Alison Krauss announce co-headlining tour: Here's how to get tickets

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss are taking their musical chemistry out on the road.

Plant, a Rock & Roll Hall of Famer who sang for Led Zeppelin , and Krauss, a 27-time Grammy winner, will play nearly 30 headline dates on the Can’t Let Go Tour, which kicks off June 2 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. this Friday, following a series of presales beginning at 10 a.m. Feb. 14. Find more information at plantkrauss.com .

Dates will feature support from JD McPherson, who also plays lead guitar for Plant and Krauss, alongside an ace ensemble of drummer Jay Bellerose, bassist Dennis Crouch, string player Stuart Duncan and Viktor Krauss on keys and guitar.

The tour's set list will draw from the musicians' pair of acclaimed albums: 2007’s Grammy-sweeping "Raising Sand" and 2021’s "Raise the Roof," both produced by Bob Dylan guitarist T Bone Burnett. Plant and Krauss will deliver a fusion of early blues, country deep cuts, revolutionary folk-rock and lost soul music written by the likes of Merle Haggard , The Everly Brothers , Ola Belle Reed, Brenda Burns and more. They'll also be reimagining Led Zeppelin cuts such as "The Battle of Evermore," "Rock & Roll” and "When the Levee Breaks.” 

To ensure fans have the best chance to buy tickets at face value, concertgoers who purchase tickets through Ticketmaster will have the option to resell them to other fans at the original price paid using Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange, according to a press release. In order to protect the exchange, tickets for the tour are mobile-only and restricted from transfer.
