Robert Plant & The Band of Joy

He did say at the end of his show with Alison Krauss, "see you soon"

I don't know.

He is playing 2 nights in Nashville in the coming months..

He's playing Wanee in April, Jazz fest, and Telluride so at least we know he's doing the festivals.

His mini-set with BoJ at Americanafest was killer. Would definitely be a must see at Bonnaroo.

The JazzFest and Wanee adds definitely make me think we will see Plant and his band at Roo. People were obviously talking about him for Coachella but clearly he had something else in mind. I think the Roo crowd and a little country feel also helps this idea. Probably would play a late afternoon/evening set?

I could see it happening. Would rather see Robert Plant play with another band.....but whatever. I wouldn't be surprised to see him show up at Roo with this group.

Ah, Robert Plant. The only man I ever loved.

Well it looks like he'll be back this year.

A new poster said this:




And to double-confirm what they said I found a blog that reviewed the show and said the same thing about Roo:

Should be a good show.

I know. I skipped his show in NYC. So glad he'll be at roo

Same for me last Saturday

Triple confirmation:



says "See you this summer, at Bonnaroo....come on down".

Awesome, awesome, just freakin' awesome! Bonnaroo just got that much more likely for me, and I'm now at the point where I'd be more surprised if I didn't go. ;D I could have seen them at the House of Blues here in Boston, which would have been amazing to see a rock legend in a 2,500 capacity club, but tickets were like $70 for the cheapest ones and I thought that money would be better spent going towards a Roo ticket. Guess I was right!

Seeing the video of that makes me feel so much more excited. Not that I distrusted the poster who said he'd be there, but we just hear so many fake rumors that you have to be skeptical of everything. But seeing it on a blog and especially watching that YouTube video sent shivers down my spine reminiscing about Sunday afternoon in 2008.

I've been wanting Plant back ever since he walked off stage and said "see you soon". As much as I loved that set (and I really did love it, easily in my top 5 shows throughout 2008), it's nice that we're getting a bit more Zeppelin-oriented stuff with Band of Joy.


Even then, that seems unlikely. I suppose it's not impossible as John Paul Jones did play in a tent during the 2007 superjam, but that does seem like a stretch, especially for Plant, who's a bit bigger. They could potentially fit in as a late night on Which Stage, but I don't really think their music fits that vibe as much. He'll probably be a pre-headliner again, and an awesome one at that.

this makes me sooooooo happy
