Deep Purple Just Added More Than 40 Shows to Their 2026 Tour

Deep Purple is piling new dates onto their globe-trotting tour in support of 2026's Splat! They kicked off a U.S. leg earlier this month in Raleigh, North Carolina, after initially confirming a run of shows ending on Sept. 12 at Sparks, Nevada.

The tour has ballooned by more than 40 stops since then. See a complete list of dates, cities and venues below. For more information, go to Deep Purple's official site.

They'll end up playing roughly the same number of shows as in 2024. It's surprising, since frontman Ian Gillan was hinting at retirement as recently as last November. He said growing vision problems could mean the end is "not far off."

Splat! is the follow-up to 2024's =1. They took the time away to complete this new studio project, which extends their recent run of albums produced by Bob Ezrin to a half dozen.

"Well, we've not been idle," bassist Roger Glover confirmed in an interview with UCR. "This has been a welcome break, because we've been hard at it for several years. I think it was good to actually take a break."

Kansas and Jefferson Starship have been featured as Deep Purple's special guests out on the road. Splat! then became the fifth of their recent collaborations with Ezrin to reach the U.K. Top 20. (The exception was 2021's covers-focused Turning to Crime.)

As for Gillan's failing eyesight: "It's one of those things. I've only got 30 percent vision; that won't get better," Gillan added. "The hardest thing is working on my laptop. I can't see anything on the screen unless I use my peripheral vision. I pick up a line by looking at it sideways – but you find a way. You adapt."
