Deep Purple has announced a special live show in London for 2026 at the iconic Royal Albert Hall.

The show at the Royal Albert Hall promises to be a full-throttle rock performance by Deep Purple, showcasing their unwavering creativity, fearlessness, and stage presence. The band's live energy and musical prowess are set to captivate fans, both old and new, in the grandeur of the historic venue. Before their London gigs, Deep Purple will also perform in Newcastle, Glasgow, Birmingham, and Manchester as part of their tour across the UK.
Tickets for the Royal Albert Hall show will be available for purchase starting at 10am GMT on Friday, February 6. Deep Purple's tour extends beyond the UK, with scheduled performances in Europe, Japan, Indonesia, and Mexico. The band's latest studio album, '=11', was released in 2024, and they have been actively touring and performing live, including a recent show in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The current lineup of Deep Purple features Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Don Airey, and Simon McBride, with McBride joining the band after Steve Morse's departure.
