Global rock icons Deep Purple have announced a highly anticipated UK tour for November 2026, culminating in a momentous return to the Royal Albert Hall. This "one night only" London performance on 25th November marks a homecoming to the very stage where the band made rock history in 1969 as the first group to perform a full classical composition with an orchestra.
A Legacy in the Making
While the Royal Albert Hall show serves as a unique reconnection with their storied past, it is just the finale of a high-octane run across the UK’s biggest arenas. The tour kicks off on 18th November in Newcastle, moving through Glasgow, Birmingham, and Manchester before a double-header in the capital. Joining the rock legends for these dates are rising UK rockers Jayler.

Timeless Influence
The tour follows a surge in global momentum for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees. Their 2024 album, =1, received widespread critical acclaim, and their 1970 masterpiece "Child in Time" recently found a new generation of fans after being featured in the trailer for the global blockbuster series Stranger Things.
From the immortal riffs of "Smoke on the Water" to the lightning pace of "Highway Star," these shows will be a full-throttle celebration of a band that remains creatively unstoppable after five decades. The Royal Albert Hall performance, in particular, promises to be an essential moment in British music history, offering fans a rare chance to see the pioneers of hard rock in the grandeur of London’s most prestigious setting.
