Deep Purple: The Long Goodbye Tour

Where do we even start?

Deep Purple are a rock band based out of Hertford, England. They are considered the pioneers of Heavy Metal and modern Hard Rock, but classifying them under one genre would be a massive injustice. Their music covers a wide array of styles ranging from Hard Rock to Blues Rock to even Psychedelic Rock!

They were awarded the Legend Award at the 2008 World Music Awards and were also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016. A number of legendary rock and metal bands like Metallica, Judas Priest, Queen, Aerosmith, Motorhead have drawn inspiration from their work.

The band currently consists of Ian Gillan, Don Airey, Roger Glover, Steve Morse and Ian Paice.

Some of their most popular albums are “Machine Head”, “Deep Purple”, “Deep Purple in Rock” and “Perfect Strangers” with their most recent one being “Infinite”.

The Long Goodbye Tour supports their 20th studio album, “Infinite” which was released on 7th April 2017. The tour started in Bucharest, Romania on the 13th of May 2017 and will conclude at Rio de Janeiro on the 15th of December 2017.

There is speculation that this will be the band’s final tour but they have neither confirmed nor denied this. If it is, you definitely want to be there when the legendary band draws the curtains on their illustrious career.
