    Sorry Led Zeppelin fans


    So about that supposed Led Zeppelin reunion—it ain't happening … yet. Not while frontman Robert Plant is busy planning a worldwide tour with Alison Krauss in support of the duo's Raising Sand LP. Beginning with a brief leg of dates down south, the trek then jumps to Europe for 11 stops before returning to North America for a more extensive run during June and July. Producer T-Bone Burnett will lead the pair's band through selections from Raising Sand and their respective back catalogues.

    A preview of the tour can be seen on February 11 during CMT's Crossroads: Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. "Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved)," the first single from Raising Sand, was nominated for a Pest Pop Collaboration with Vocals Grammy.

    The beginning of something beautiful:

    4/22 Knoxville, TN - Knoxville Civic Coliseum
    4/23 Chattanooga, TN - Memorial Auditorium
    4/26 Birmingham, AL - BJCC Arena
