Robert Plant will tour the US in 2023 and is working on the second Band Of Joy album

Robert Plant will tour the US in Spring and Summer 2023 and is working on releasing the second Band Of Joy album and an expanded edition of the Honeydrippers album.

That’s according to an email sent on December 22 to subscribers to Plant’s official mailing list.

“During and around all the events this year, RP has been busy working in the studio refining new work from the Honeydrippers collection and reviewing the progress that was made with Band of Joy Vol 2,” the email read.

“Look out for announcements in the New Year as we’ll be touring the US again in Spring and Summer 2023,” it continued.

It’s unclear which band Plant will tour the US with. He performed across the US with Alison Krauss in 2022 but has been touring more recently with Saving Grace. Saving Grace had planned a US tour in 2020 but were forced to cancel it because of the pandemic.

The email’s mention of Plant working on material related to his Honeydrippers project confirms the LedZepNews story published earlier this month that a box set edition of “The Honeydrippers: Volume One” is on the way.

Plant is also working on releasing the second Band Of Joy album, which is titled “Band Of Joy Volume 2”.

That album was initially announced as coming soon in July 2020 but no mention of its release has been made since then.

Plant was asked about the second Band Of Joy album in a 2021 interview with Mojo Magazine but the magazine reported that he “winces at the notion of reconvening to complete it.”

    Looking forward to seeing you again Robert Plant. You are an amazing artist.

    • I hope Darrel Scott is in this lineup. He is one of the greatest songwriters alive IMO. Loved his work on the last album. If you haven’t heard Darrel’s solo records, check them out. Solid gold. (No I’m not affiliated with DS, just a long time fan)

    This makes me very happy. I had to travel to Wales, England, Ireland and Scotland to see him. I guess the US is easier. Why not Canada why doesn’t he love us..feeling sad above the 49 the parellel

  13. I am always excited to see him whoever he is playing with. I was so happy to get lucky to get a ticket to sold out show on the day of. So worth flying to Edinburgh to see Robert with Saving Grace!

  14. It would be absolutely amazing to see him here in Kansas City! I don’t care what band he would be playing with…

  15. Can wait to see what new music materializes with his collaboration with Band of Joy! Music makes the world go round.

  16. Does anybody know remember laughter? Sorry I couldn’t resist, so laugh dammit! Keep doing what you do, Robert Anthony Plant. No one does it better than you and no one else ever will. Hey, I wouldn’t mind being on the official Robert Plant mailing list too. I like mail and I love ‘the Plant’ man. Match made in musical heaven if you ask me. This is the part where you laugh again. At least give me a smile. I wish Robert Plant and company a glorious New Year filled with joy and laughter. This is the part where you smile in agreement. Stay blessed and strong. Sincerely, Melody Marie. 😘

  18. Omg! I had a 2nd row seat @ Koka Booth on June 14 but had to miss the show due to hip fracture/surgery. So looking forward to another chance to see my FAVE!

  19. I like the song Rainbow and House of Cards. I like them all.

  20. So fortunate I got to see him this past summer for the first time ever (with AK) – to see him a second time?? Luckiest girl in the world = ME!! So excited!

  21. I think the band is really great

  22. Love Mr Robert Plant so much!! I am so happy to see this upcoming tour!!

  23. I have loved to hear Robert Plant sing from the time I was a kid! I really get excited by all of the genres that he spills over into! Robert Plant is simply the best!

  24. Yeah 2023! Robert you have to come back to Philly! Whomever you will perform with it will be great. So much love to you. AVA💕

  25. How do you get on Robert Plants mailing list

  26. This article sounds like fabricated conjecture. There are no signs of his touring in 2023 and he usually doesn’t tour without new product being released. Just saying.

    • This article is based on an email sent by Robert Plant’s official mailing list, not “fabricated conjecture”. Plant regularly tours without new albums being released. His first 2023 show with Alison Krauss was just announced.
