If you were already shaking with excitement at the prospect of Robert Plant heading back to Australia next year for the Byron Bay Bluesfest, then your day would have been made with the news that the former Led Zeppelin frontman would be putting on a bunch of sideshows while in the country. Now, Plant has brought forth even more good news, announcing a couple of extra shows for some very lucky fans.
Just two months ago, Plant announced the he and his Sensational Space Shifters would be making a number of stops in Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth while in the country for Bluesfest next March. Of course, when you have a name as big as Robert Plant, you know that such a small number of sideshows was never going to be enough.
Now, Plant has added on to his list of sideshows, announcing a third and final date in Sydney, this time at the State Theatre instead of the Sydney Opera House, and a sole date at Adelaide’s Thebarton Theatre. Yes, the famously-overlooked southern capital has been lucky enough to score a show from one of rock music’s most famous frontmen.
With a setlist consisting of brilliant solo tracks, classic Led Zeppelin tunes, and a few other covers here and there, you can be sure that Robert Plant’s shows with the Sensational Space Shifters are going to be one of the highlights of the Aussie touring calendar next year.
Tickets to Plant’s new shows just went on sale at 10am AEDT, so make sure you secure your ticket to see one of rock music’s living legends in the flesh below, and check out his new video for ‘Bluebirds Over The Mountain’ while you’re there.
