Music legends Robert Plant and Donovan shared the stage in a surprise collaboration during the Wexford Spiegeltent Festival in Ireland. The pair delivered a mesmerizing performance of “Season of the Witch,” delighting fans with a rare live duet.
Plant, currently on tour across Ireland and Scotland with his band Saving Grace, has made “Season of the Witch” a staple in his recent setlists. This time, however, the song took on new magic as Donovan himself joined the band, adding an authentic touch to the 1966 classic.
Dave Lewis, editor of Tight But Loose magazine, attended the show and shared his experience on his website. “Robert introduced the legendary Donovan,” he wrote. “With long flowing hair, the sprightly 76-year-old sparred with Suzi Dian on the timelessly brilliant ‘Season of the Witch’—even slipping in a few lines from his 1969 hit ‘Goo Goo Barabajagal.’”
The unexpected duet was a highlight of the evening, showcasing the enduring charisma and musical chemistry between two icons. Plant’s ongoing tour with Saving Grace continues to draw fans eager to witness his exploration of folk and blues traditions—now with a touch of psychedelic nostalgia thanks to Donovan’s guest appearance.
