Although Robert Plant made it known he's completely uninterested in performing with John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page as Led Zeppelin, Jason Bonham seems to think he will play with the renowned trio once again. Plant will, however, hit the road with the Sensational Space Shifters for a number of 2016 U.S. tour dates ranging from Florida to Texas.
The American South will see the raw talents of the classic rock giant and his band over a total of 13 gigs. "I'm always eager to return to the hospitality of the Southern states," he admitted in a press release. "Towns and cities that hold fond memories for me personally, places that gave birth to so much of the music I love."
The tour kicks off with a three-night stint at the Okeechobee Music and Arts Festival in March, making its way through Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, UltimateClassicRock notes. For those who treasure Robert Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters' 2014 release, Lullaby and the Ceaseless Roar, the collaborators have plans to put fourth a brand-new studio project.
"Our recent travels have taken this wild whirlwind of a band though many incredible and inspiring places," the 67-year-old rock and roll Veteran added. "Having just begun work on our new album, we thought we'd take time out to raise a little sand and welcome springtime with one more adventure, another celebration of life and song."
A future Led Zeppelin reunion looks to be pretty bleak but at least both Plant and Page will storm the stage in 2016, giving Zeppelin fanatics another way to get their musical fix. The guitar legend, who recently placed all focus on reissuing and remastering all nine Zeppelin studio albums, will now look to strictly performing. His upcoming stint will include setlists that draw from all avenues of his musical career including the music of Yardbirds, Zeppelin and solo material.
