Robert Plant starting new Saving Grace album

Robert Plant said Saving Grace have started work on a second album, confirming new recording plans in Record Collector’s April 2026 issue. (artthreat.net) (ledzepnews.com) Plant tied that project directly to the band’s Record Store Day release, saying the four tracks on the EP were “part of the next record.” (ledzepnews.com) The EP, Saving Grace: All That Glitters…, was released on Saturday, April 18, 2026, as a 12-inch vinyl exclusive through Nonesuch. Record Store Day listed 3,500 copies. (nonesuch.com) (recordstoreday.com) Nonesuch said the EP features four recently recorded songs with Suzi Dian and the same English countryside lineup behind Saving Grace. The tracks include “The Blackest Crow,” “Two Coats,” Gillian Welch’s “Orphan Girl,” and Bert Jansch’s “Poison.” (recordstoreday.co.uk) (nonesuch.com) That matters because Saving Grace only became Plant’s current recording band last year. The full-length album Saving Grace was released on September 26, 2025, as his first album with the group. (shorefire.com) That 2025 album was built around reinterpretations of folk, blues, spiritual, and Americana songs, with Dian, Oli Jefferson, Tony Kelsey, Matt Worley, and Barney Morse-Brown alongside Plant. (shorefire.com) Plant’s new comments suggest the next release is already moving beyond a one-off vinyl collectible. The Record Store Day EP now looks like an early public sample from a larger album cycle. (ledzepnews.com) (artthreat.net) For now, Plant has not announced a title or release date for the follow-up. But he said he has “loads more” material, and the band has already started shaping what comes next. (artthreat.net)
