Robert Plant has announced a summer tour, covering North America and Europe.
The tour will run from the American west coast, (Washington, LA &tc.) in May to the northeast and upper midwest (New York, Toronto, Chicago) in June to the UK and Europe in July and into August. The Pixies will join Plant and his band, The Sensational Space Shifters for the North American dates.

Plant is currently playing some South American dates.

More Roar

Robert Plant has announced he will release a new EP with his current band, The Sensational Space Shifters, on April 18, Record Store Day.

The 10" vinyl record, entitled More Roar, will feature three tracks from last years lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar world tour.

The tracks are Turn It Up, Poor Howard and Whole Lotta Love Medley.

Record Store Day records are only available at participating Record Stores and are usually on a limited run, although with a run of 10,000, More Roar should be pretty easy to get.
