Global rock icons Deep Purple have announced a major UK headline tour for November 2026, with dates in Newcastle, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester and London.
Celebrated for defining the sound of rock for more than five decades, the Heavy Metal legends will be joined on select dates by special guests Mammoth, the band formed and fronted by Wolfgang Van Halen, and rising UK rockers Jayler.
Promoted by AEG Presents in association with UTA, the tour kicks off on 18 November 2026 at Newcastle’s Utilita Arena, then hits Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on 19 November, Birmingham’s BP Pulse Live Arena on 21 November and Manchester’s AO Arena on 22 November, before wrapping up at London’s Eventim Apollo on 24 November.
With a catalogue that includes classics such as Smoke On The Water, Highway Star and the epic Child In Time, Deep Purple remain one of the world’s most revered live acts. Their 1970 track Child In Time recently found a new generation of fans after being reworked for the trailer to the latest season of Stranger Things, reigniting global interest in the band’s timeless sound.
The band continue to push forward creatively, with their critically acclaimed 2024 album =1 underscoring their status as pioneers of hard rock and Heavy Metal.
