Cookie0024 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 July 5, 2013 8:59 am Robert Plant in homecoming gig at Wolverhampton Civic Rock legend Robert Plant today announced a homecoming gig in the Black Country. The star will perform with his latest band Sensational Space Shifters at Wolverhampton Civic Hall. The gig on September 2 is one of just two UK dates. The Led Zeppelin frontman, who was born in West Bromwich and is vice-president of Wolves, last played at the Civic in 2005. He is currently touring in America and his only other date in the UK will be in Bristol, while he will also fit in a show at Irish Festival Electric Picnic. Civic spokesman Jonn Penney said: “Obviously we’re absolutely delighted that we’ve got such a world class name such as Robert Plant coming back to the Civic. “We know he’s fond of the region and effectively he’s decided to drop in on a hometown show. “We’re chuffed to have a name like that associated with the venue.” Tickets for the show go on sale at 10am today and cost £40 for standing or £45 for the balcony. http://www.expressandstar.com/entertainment/music/2013/07/05/robert-plant-in-homecoming-gig-at-wolverhampton-civic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZepRex Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 That's really cool. Here's hoping this will turn into a full-blown European tour.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie0024 Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 I heard from 'someone' that Robert wanted to do a UK tour this winter. Hopefully this will be the first announcement of many, that's how the Australian and US tours were announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheZeppyWanderer Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I knew Plant is a long-time Wolves fan, but I didn't know he was involved with the them in an official capacity. Does he have a financial stake in the team? Robert is one of 3 (Honorary) Vice-Presidents of the club (the other 2 being Rachel Heyhoe-Flint and Steve Bull). In their official capacity, and at that executive level, financial involvement is (usually !) very minimal and only token. The biggest, and usually the only real stakeholder of most clubs the owner/chairman (in Wolves case, Steve Morgan) Getting back to the matter of the shows, please don't forget to bring your photo ID and purchasing credit/debit card - these will be neccessary to gain admittance. Enjoy the shows, see you there maybe ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
