Will Plant/Krauss Tour interfere with Zeppelin fans plans?

With mid to late June dates being thrown around as "confirmed" Zeppelin dates, it seems a good idea to watch the dates for the Alison Krauss and Robert Plant "World Tour." So far, according to the Raising Sand website, there are 11 dates, all in May.

This world tour takes Plant/Krauss from England to Whales, Germany, Belgium, France, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, and back to London.

Small world.

The tour ends May 22nd, giving three weeks before the Bonnaroo Festival on June 12 - 15th. Or if you are like me, and don't buy the Bonnaroo rumour, but think maybe the Glastonbury festival on June 27 - 29 is more likely, that gives Plant 5 weeks to ready for a tour.

All this, of course, assumes that Plant and Krauss will not add any dates to their world tour. That's the thing to watch for: once Krauss and Plant book into June, all those Zeppelin speculations go out the window, at least for the summer.
