Plant, Krauss to tour U.S., Europe

NEW YORK, Jan. 19 (UPI) -- Country singer Alison Krauss will pair with Led Zeppelin front man Robert Plant for a tour through the United States and Europe.

The duo's tour, which will support their 2007 album "Raising Sand," will include four dates in the United States and an additional 11 stops at European cities, Billboard reported Friday.

The U.S. leg of the international tour starts April 20 in Louisville, Ky., and will be immediately followed by two appearances in Tennessee and one in Birmingham, Ala.

Tickets for those U.S. dates will go on sale Jan. 25 and additional North American tour dates will likely take place in June and July.

The pair's tour will enable them to build off of the success of their hit single "Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)," which has been nominated for a Grammy Award.

Yet Billboard said the tour will most likely limit any chance of any Led Zeppelin reunion tour, a highly anticipated event that has been the focus of rumors since the band performed in London last December.
