Deep Purple announce special one-night-only Royal Albert Hall concert
Deep Purple are headed back to the Royal Albert Hall in November.
Deep Purple have announced a special one‑night‑only performance at London's historic Royal Albert Hall on November 25.
The show marks a significant homecoming for the rock legends, whose relationship with the Hall stretches back more than half a century. Rising UK rock outfit Jayler will join them as special guests.
Tickets go on sale Friday (06.02.26) at 10am via aegpresents.co.uk.
The Royal Albert Hall holds a unique place in Deep Purple’s story. In 1969, the band made music history there when they became the first rock act to debut a full classical composition with an orchestra on the venue’s stage — a bold crossover moment that helped redefine what rock performance could be.
The upcoming show is billed as a full‑scale Deep Purple rock performance.
Across more than five decades, Deep Purple have built one of rock’s most formidable catalogues, from era‑defining tracks such as Smoke on the Water and Highway Star to a string of chart‑topping albums and sold‑out tours. Their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame cemented their status as one of the genre’s most influential forces.
Their music continues to resonate with new generations. The band’s 1970 epic Child in Time recently found fresh life after being reimagined for the season five trailer for Stranger Things, introducing the track to millions of younger viewers.
