News Robert Plant to headline Cambridge Folk Festival
Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant’s new project Saving Grace is headlining this year’s Cambridge Folk Festival, as it marks its 60th anniversary.
The festival is returning to the grounds of Cherry Hinton Hall from 25 to 28 July.
Other acts on the bill include Transatlantic Sessions, Fantastic Negrito, Ralph McTell, Peggy Seeger and Family, and Talisk.
The festival called Plant “one of the most powerfully charismatic singers and greatest music makers in modern times”.
Plant made his name as the hard-hitting vocalist in ’70s rock band Led Zeppelin, whose hits included Whole Lotta Love and Stairway to Heaven.
His new collective, featuring Suzi Dian on vocals, blends folk, Americana and blues and creates “a musical journey in its truest form”, the festival said.
“Alongside the world-class music, there is so much more to enjoy over the festival weekend, including dedicated children’s activities, workshops on instrument making and songwriting, a silent disco, storytelling, clog dancing and tai-chi,” it added.
