Deep Purple Mammoth Tour: Rock Giants Announce Huge 2026 UK Arena Run

Deep Purple, the legendary pioneers of hard rock, have announced a massive five-date UK arena tour for November 2026. The trek, dubbed the Deep Purple Mammoth Tour, features a stunning rock bill that pairs the icons with the powerhouse US group Mammoth WVH, led by Wolfgang Van Halen, and rising UK stars Jayler.

This announcement guarantees a vital, career-spanning setlist from the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, alongside dynamic new talent, solidifying the Deep Purple Mammoth Tour as one of the must-see rock events of the decade.

Unstoppable Legacy Meets Hard Rock Future

Deep Purple’s influence is immeasurable, with over five decades of chart-topping success and genre-defining hits like “Smoke on the Water” and “Highway Star.” The current lineup—featuring founding member Ian Paice (drums), Ian Gillan (vocals), Roger Glover (bass), Don Airey (keyboards), and Simon McBride (guitar)—continues to prove their enduring vitality.

The Deep Purple Mammoth Tour follows the critical success of their 2024 album, =1, which showcased their renewed energy and creative depth. The chance to see the band perform their unparalleled catalogue live is a testament to their lasting power and status as hard rock pioneers.
