Robert Plant and Alison Krauss plot US tour

It could seriously complicate Led Zeppelin reunion tour

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss have announced plans to embark on a US tour this spring.

The Led Zeppelin frontman and the country chanteuse will begin their jaunt April 20 in Louisville, Kentucky.

The duo will also stop in Knoxville, Tennessee, on April 22, Chattanooga, Tennessee, on April 23 and Birmingham, Alabama on April 26, reports Billboard.

This could potentially thwart plans for a highly anticipated Led Zeppelin reunion tour anytime soon.

The duo will be joined on-stage by rock pioneer and their album producer T Bone Burnett.

The US tour precedes a UK trek that kicks off in May, as previously reported.

Further details and additional US dates are expected to be announced shortly. Check back to NME.COM for the latest updates.
