2011 is shaping up to be an awesome year for live music. In just the last couple of weeks we’ve told you about Linkin Park tickets, Justin Bieber tickets, Sarah McLachlan tickets and Ke$ha tickets. And today we’re excited to share the news that Robert Plant tickets will soon be added to the list!

The former Led Zeppelin rocker just announced he’s taking his Band of Joy on the road. That’s right…15 dates, starting in Asheville, NC and winding up in Nashville, TN.

Don’t miss this opportunity to catch Plant, along with Buddy Miller, Patty Griffin and Darrell Scott. The North Mississippi All-Stars are the opening act. Robert Plant tickets go on sale Saturday and trust us, some of these venues are fairly small so tickets will go fast!

Although Plant will always be known for his time with Led Zepplin, he’s recently shown a bit of an acoustic bluegrassy side that we love. In fact, his 2007 collaboration with Alison Krauss won the Grammy Award for album of the year. We’re betting you’ll find an nice mix of styles at his upcoming shows.
