From Pollstar:
Whole Lotta Tour
Fresh off his keynote appearance at March's South By Southwest conference, Robert Plant is preparing to return to North America for a tour backing his upcoming release, Mighty Rearranger. The former Led Zeppelin frontman so far plans to make the rounds of theatres, casino venues and sheds in June and July, kicking things off in at the Providence Performing Arts Center in Rhode Island June 15 and winding down at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles July 24. In between, he'll crisscross the continent with stops including Boston, New York City, Atlanta, Toronto, Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas and San Francisco. Mighty Rearranger is a collection of new original songs with Plant's backing band, the Strange Sensations. But fans can expect a healthy dose of Plant and Led Zep classics as well. In the meantime, Plant is in the midst of a seven-concert series at London's Royal Albert Hall to benefit The Teenage Cancer Trust, along with The Who's Roger Daltrey, Eric Clapton, as well as newcomers Franz Ferdinand and Keane.

So I know the dates aren't even on sale yet, but I would like to get to both Philadelphia (Upper Darby, PA) shows and the Toronto show. This will, of course, be dependent on finances and circumstances when tickets go on sale. Please take a look at the tour dates if you have any interest in Robert Plant and/or you have any interest in accompanying me to a great concert. The co-headlining tour with Jeff Beck does not look as if it will materialize, although that's fine with me as it likely means longer sets from Plant. If I haven't already promoted it enough, Mighty Rearranger is due out in the US on May 10 - same as the new Weezer disc, if I'm not mistaken. The Philly shows would make for a nice mini-roadtrip with a stay somewhere around the area probably the night before the first show and again the night before the second. I'll just wait for the offers to come pouring in.
Ha....ha.....ha.
