ZAGREB, 30 January 2026 – Robert Plant, one of the most influential singers and frontmen in the history of rock music and the iconic voice of Led Zeppelin, will perform an exclusive open-air concert at St. Michael’s Fortress in Šibenik on 20 June 2026.

The concert forms part of Plant’s All That Glitters tour, which brings him to Croatia alongside his acclaimed band Saving Grace for an intimate and rare performance in one of the Adriatic’s most atmospheric venues.

Saving Grace is named after Plant’s 12th studio album, a project he has described as a “songbook for the lost and found”.

The ensemble features an accomplished group of musicians: vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo player Matt Worley, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown.

Together with Plant, the band creates a distinctive sound rooted in folk traditions, acoustic textures, and traditional blues, offering a stripped-back yet deeply expressive musical experience.

Live performances by Robert Plant and Saving Grace combine new material with reimagined Led Zeppelin classics, presented in fresh and often surprising arrangements.

Songs such as Ramble On, The Rain Song and Friends are transformed for this acoustic-led format, alongside unexpected covers of artists like Neil Young and carefully selected traditional songs.

The project has been widely praised by international media. Ultimate Classic Rock notes that Plant continues to build a new and meaningful legacy, while The Guardian highlights the collective strength of the band, emphasising that the focus is on the music rather than celebrity.

Uncut has underlined Plant’s enduring artistic relevance and craftsmanship.

Robert Plant remains one of the most important figures in rock and roll culture. As the frontman of Led Zeppelin, one of the most influential bands of all time, he helped define the sound of 20th-century rock music.

Timeless songs such as Stairway to Heaven, Whole Lotta Love and Kashmir continue to inspire generations of musicians and fans worldwide.

Beyond Led Zeppelin, Plant’s solo work and collaborative projects have earned him multiple Grammy Awards and critical acclaim.

Frequently ranked among the greatest rock singers of all time, his vocal style has shaped hard rock and heavy metal singing, cementing his place as one of music’s most significant and influential artists.

The Šibenik performance promises an exceptionally intimate concert experience, set against the historic backdrop of St. Michael’s Fortress overlooking the Adriatic Sea.
