announced their first joint U.S. tour in 13 years a few months back, there was joy but also some consternation across the land — specifically, across the western part of the land, since the 10 dates initially announced for summer 2020 were all in the eastern part of the country or the South. Now, relief is coming with the news that Plant and Krauss will also be going west this year.
The 13 freshly announced dates more than double the original itinerary for the U.S. tour and include such venues as the Greek in Los Angeles, Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver and Moody Amphitheatre in Austin. The new gigs are all in the western U.S. or in Texas. This second series of shows in North America is set for Aug. 15-Sept. 4. It follows a run of shows that the pair will do in Europe in late June and July, following the previously announced first concerts in the U.S June 1-16.Even a tour that now expands to 23 dates in the U.S. is far less than the market could bear, but fans who have waited this long will take what they can get, and undoubtedly do some traveling to get to a gig if necessary.
The last time Plant and Krauss toured together was in 2009, following their first collaboration, the Grammy-winning “Raising Sand.” The very long-awaited followup to that album, “Raise the Roof,” also produced by T Bone Burnett, came out in November. The musicians who will take part in the tour have not yet been announced. Burnett toured as part of the band in the late 2000s, but it’s not known whether he might take up those duties again for this resumption.
