Robert Plant and the Space Shifters will play Venue Cymru arena for one night only on Wednesday, November 22 as part of his new UK tour.

The tour will follow the release of Robert Plant’s new album Carry Fire – out on October 13.

The Shape Shifters now includes Seth Lakeman who appears on three tracks on the new album.

Robert Plant and the Space Shifters are also joined on Carry Fire by a number of special guests. Chrissie Hynde joins Robert on the duet

Bluebirds Over The Mountain (written by rockabilly legend Ersel Hickey and later recorded by both Richie Valens and The Beach Boys). Albanian cellist Redi Hasa performs on three tracks, as does the aforementioned Seth Lakeman on viola and fiddle.

Robert Plant and the band spent two years on the road together supporting ‘lullaby and…The Ceaseless Roar’, their unique sound and vision ultimately evolving into something even more creative and powerful.

Robert, who lived in Texas for a time before returning to England three years ago, together with his friends, present the songs Carry Fire, melding unusual rhythms with naturalism and smouldering power,

Robert said: “It’s about intention, I respect and relish my past works but each time I feel the lure and incentive to create new work. I must mix old with new. Consequently, the whole impetus of the band has moved on its axis somewhat, the new sound and different space giving way to exciting and dramatic landscapes of mood, melody and instrumentation”.

Tickets go on sale this Friday, August 25 from 9am.  The last time Robert Plant played Llandudno he was a complete sell out – so Venue Cymru is encouraging people to book early!  14+ age group only.
