WILMINGTON — Ticket holders to Wednesday night’s show to Robert Plant and Alison Krauss will have to wait a little longer.
The rock icon and bluegrass darling were set to perform at Live Oak Bank Pavilion on the downtown riverfront Wednesday night. The pavilion announced the concert’s postponement Wednesday around 10 a.m.
“We are doing our best to reschedule the date,” the announcement noted. “All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date once announced.”
By 4 p.m. the show was rescheduled to Monday May 15. All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date, no exchange is necessary.
Live Nation stated more information would be emailed to ticketholders.
The news comes after the dynamic duo also postponed its Asheville concert at the ExploreAshevill.com Arena on Tuesday, citing “circumstances beyond our control.”
Plant and Krauss are currently touring in support of their second album, “Raise the Roof.” The musicians first collaborated in 2004 during a tribute to blues great Lead Belly before pairing up with producer T-Bone Burnett a few years later to release 2007’s “Raising Sand.”
The project won six Grammys, including Album of the Year, and resulted in a sold-out tour.
The musicians and producer joined forces again in 2019 to record “Raise the Roof” in a Nashville studio, Sound Emporium. The 12-track record includes covers, such as Arizona indie-outfit Calexico’s “Quattro,” The Everly Brothers’ “The Price of Love” and Allen Toussaint’s “Trouble With My Lover.”
The album was nominated for three Grammy Awards this year, including Best Americana Album, Best American Roots Song for “High and Lonesome,” and Best Country Duo/Group Performance for “Going Where the Lonely Go.”
