Rock icons Deep Purple have announced a five-date UK tour for November 2026.

Deep Purple open their tour at Newcastle Utilita Arena on Wednesday 18th November, and they then play Glasgow OVO Hydro, Birmingham bp pulse LIVE and Manchester AO Arena before concluding at London Eventim Apollo on Tuesday 24th November.

Wolfgang Van Halen’s band Mammoth are the special guests at the arena shows in Newcastle, Glasgow, Birmingham and Manchester, while fast-ascending Led Zeppelin-esque rockers Jayler support at all five dates.

Tickets to Deep Purple’s UK tour go on sale from Planet Rock Tickets at 10am on Friday 21st November.

Earlier this year, a reworked version of Deep Purple’s seminal 1970 anthem ‘Child in Time’ was used to soundtrack the trailer for blockbuster supernatural series Stranger Things, which brought their sounds to new audiences.

Deep Purple released their 23rd studio album ‘=1’ in July 2024, and it was the recording debut of the band’s phenomenal guitarist Simon McBride, who joined permanently in 2022.
