Robert Plant has shared the first taste of what to expect from his forthcoming solo album lullaby and... THE CEASELESS ROAR. The record is set for a September 9 release.

Plant describes the new LP as "a celebratory record, powerful, gritty, African, Trance meets Zep”.

Plant has refused to become a nostalgia act and has released some of his strongest post-Zeppelin records over the last 10 years. The album was recorded with his current band The Sensational Space Shifters.

Plant plays The Marquee show in Cork on 25 June and has also announced additional shows in Belfast on November 23 and Dublin's Olympia Theatre on November 24.
