Deep Purple 2026 UK Arena Tour: VIP and Hospitality Packages Now Available
British rock legends Deep Purple have officially launched VIP and hospitality ticket sales for their highly anticipated UK arena tour in November 2026. The band, celebrated as a cornerstone of classic hard rock alongside Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, will perform five major dates across the country, with premium experiences offered for key shows in Birmingham and London.
Tour Dates and Ticket Information
The tour kicks off on 18 November at the Utilita Arena in Newcastle, followed by performances at Glasgow's OVO Hydro on 19 November, Birmingham's bp pulse LIVE on 21 November, Manchester's AO Arena on 22 November, and concludes at London's Eventim Apollo on 24 November. Standard tickets for all dates are currently on sale via Ticketmaster, while exclusive VIP and hospitality packages, featuring front-row seating and special add-ons, can be secured through Seat Unique for the Birmingham and London concerts.
Legacy and Influence of Deep Purple
Formed in 1968, Deep Purple played a pivotal role in shaping the sound of British heavy guitar music in the early 1970s. Their iconic albums, including In Rock, Fireball, and Machine Head, have left an indelible mark on rock history. The latter album features 'Smoke on the Water', a track whose legendary riff remains one of the most recognizable and frequently played guitar hooks worldwide. Their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016 further solidifies their status as pioneers in the genre.
Support Acts and Demand Expectations
Joining Deep Purple on this tour are Mammoth, led by Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist Wolfgang Van Halen, and the emerging UK rock band Jayler. It should be noted that Mammoth will not perform at the London Eventim Apollo show. Given the band's enduring popularity and multi-generational fanbase, demand for tickets is expected to be extremely high, with arena tours from legacy acts often selling out months in advance. Fans are advised to act quickly to secure their spots.
How to Secure Your Tickets
To avoid disappointment, enthusiasts can purchase standard tickets through Ticketmaster, while those seeking an elevated experience should explore the VIP and hospitality options available via Seat Unique for the Birmingham and London dates. Additional ticket availability may also appear through AXS, depending on venue allocations. With the tour promising to deliver one of the biggest classic rock moments of 2026, now is the time to plan your attendance.
