Deep Purple have announced a five-date UK tour for November 2026, and honestly, it’s about time we got to witness these legends in action again.
The tour kicks off on 18 November at Newcastle’s Utilita Arena before hitting Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester, and wrapping up in London on 24 November. From ‘Smoke on the Water’ to ‘Highway Star’, Deep Purple’s catalogue speaks for itself.
Their 1970 track ‘Child in Time’ soundtracked the latest Stranger Things trailer, introducing millions of younger fans to one of rock’s most powerful songs. Add their critically acclaimed 2024 album =1 into the mix, and it’s clear these pioneers aren’t resting on their laurels.
Special guests Mammoth, fronted by Wolfgang Van Halen, will join most dates (excluding London), alongside rising UK rockers Jayler. It’s a proper celebration of rock’s past, present, and future on one bill.
For a band inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with five decades of sold-out tours behind them, Deep Purple prove that real rock never dies; it just gets louder. Tickets go on sale Friday 21 November at 10am.
