Audiences in Birmingham, London, Leeds, Manchester, and Glasgow can anticipate a series of electrifying performances as they play an array of classic tracks that have defined rock music over the past fifty years.
At the helm is none other than Ian Gillan—his voice has become synonymous with an era—and he’s not alone. The band boasts talents like Roger Glover on bass guitar, Ian Paice delivering thunderous drum solos, Don Airey weaving magic on keyboards and Simon McBride captivating crowds with his exceptional guitar skills. Since becoming part of Deep Purple in 2022, Simon McBride has performed for audiences totalling over half a million fans worldwide. Together they promise an unparalleled auditory odyssey.
With more than 100 million albums sold globally and having paved the way for generations of hard rock and heavy metal bands to follow suit, Deep Purple continues to dominate concert venues internationally while producing chart-topping records. Their latest studio effort from 2020 titled Whoosh! soared up the charts reaching number four in the UK—their most successful position in nearly five decades—which speaks volumes about their enduring appeal. Alongside previous releases such as Now WHAT?! (2013) and Infinite (2017), these albums have solidified their status as one of hard rock’s top-selling acts with sales surpassing one million units.
Since forming back in 1968, Deep Purple has been relentless on its global touring schedule—a testament to their evolution through various genres and lineups—cementing themselves as nothing short of a national treasure within Britain’s rich musical heritage.
