Deep Purple are heading back to the Royal Albert Hall for a one night only show on 25 November 2026, and honestly, this feels like one of those gigs you’ll regret missing.

The legendary venue holds a special place in the band’s history. Back in 1969, Deep Purple became the first rock band to premiere a full classical composition with an orchestra on that iconic stage. It was a moment that changed what rock music could be, blending orchestral grandeur with raw power in a way nobody had attempted before. Nearly six decades later, they’re returning to where it all began.

This won’t be another nostalgia trip, though. Deep Purple remain one of the most formidable live acts on the planet. Fresh off the back of their critically acclaimed 2024 album =1, the band have proven they’re still pushing forward creatively rather than simply coasting on a catalogue that includes ‘Smoke on the Water’, ‘Highway Star’, and ‘Child in Time’. That last track found a whole new audience recently after being reworked for the Stranger Things trailer, introducing one of rock’s most spine tingling vocal performances to millions of new listeners.

UK rockers Jayler join as support for the evening, adding some homegrown energy to what promises to be an unforgettable night.

The Royal Albert Hall show caps off a wider UK run that takes in Newcastle, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester, and the Eventim Apollo in London. But there’s something about Deep Purple in that particular room, with all its history and grandeur, that elevates the experience into something truly special.

With over five decades of music, a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, and a live reputation that still puts younger bands to shame, Deep Purple at the Royal Albert Hall is the kind of event that reminds you why rock music matters.
