Deep Purple Announce "1 More Time" UK Tour

One of Britain's most influential rock bands returns to the road in November 2024, when Deep Purple brings the ?1 More Time? tour to the UK.

They will shake the walls of UK arenas, lighting up Birmingham, London, Leeds, Manchester and Glasgow with an explosive line-up of unforgettable hits drawn from their rock repertoire spanning half a century.

Led by the legendary Ian Gillan, whose vocals defined generations, and accompanied by skilled bassist Roger Glover, powerful drummer Ian Paice, keyboard maestro Don Airey and sensational guitarist Simon McBride, Deep Purple guarantees a musical journey like no other. Since joining the band in 2022, Simon McBride has played to more than half a million people who have seen Deep Purple.

With over 100 million records sold and paving the way for hard rock and metal, the band continues to tour arenas around the world and release successful albums. Their last studio album, 2020's ?Whoosh!?, was their highest charting in 46 years, reaching #4 in the UK album charts.

Combining ?Now WHAT?!? (2013), ?Infinite? (2017) and ?Whoosh!? (2020), Deep Purple returned as one of the best-selling hard rock bands, with sales of over a million copies.

They have toured the world consistently since their formation in 1968, traveling through rock genres and formations to become a British institution. A measure of their influence can be seen in their fans, who include Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden and Metallica among their most ardent admirers.

The hits ?Hush?, ?Black Night?, ?Speed King?, ?Fireball? and ?Smoke On The Water? helped define heavy rock, riffs and all. They remain true to the band's origins and their ever-evolving future.

Accompanying Deep Purple on their UK tour are the unrivaled ??icons of 90s indie-rock, Reef, making every stop on the tour an unmissable event for rock fans.
