Deep Purple, Glasgow

Deep Purple have announced a huge UK headline tour for November 2026, bringing their still-mighty live show to arenas in Newcastle, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester and London.

The rock legends, whose riffs helped shape the sound of Heavy Metal as we know it, will be joined on select dates by Mammoth, the powerhouse band led by Wolfgang Van Halen, along with fast-rising UK rockers Jayler.

With a set likely packed with classics such as Smoke On The Water, Highway Star and Child In Time, as well as newer material, this run promises to be a serious celebration of one of rock’s most influential bands.

The tour opens at Newcastle’s Utilita Arena on 18 November 2026, before rolling through Glasgow’s OVO Hydro (19 November), Birmingham’s BP Pulse Live Arena (21 November) and Manchester’s AO Arena (22 November), closing with a special London date at the Eventim Apollo on 24 November.

Following the renewed attention sparked by the use of Child In Time in the Stranger Things universe and the band’s ongoing creative form, these shows are set to be some of the hottest tickets of the year.
