Legends of rock music, Deep Purple, are playing a special show at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall at the end of this year, with Jayler as main support.
They’ll take to the Kensington space on Wednesday, November 25, and you can expect to see the lineup of Roger Glover, Don Airey, Ian Paice, Ian Gillian, and Simon McBride play through their catalogue of tunes from the band’s career, which stands just shy of 60 years!

This is billed as a ‘one-night-only’ event, so if you’re hoping to catch Deep Purple in this space, it’ll be your only chance for now. They are, however, playing a London show at the Hammersmith Apollo on the night beforehand as part of a UK run of dates, though this is already sold out.
It’s a significant return to the space for Deep Purple, too. They were the first rock band in history to play a classical concerto at the venue with a full orchestra when they took to the space in 1969 – and they’ll be back 57 years later for another round come November 2026. You can hear the first performance produced on their live album from 1969, Concerto for Group and Orchestra.
Deep Purple’s latest record, -11, was their 23rd studio album, and was released in July 2024.
