Deep Purple<\/a> have announced a run of North American tour dates, set to take place later this year. <\/p>\n The classic rock band revealed the news on March 30th, unveiling a 24-date stint that will take them across the US and Canada over the course of August and September this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n The tour is set to kick off on August 4th in Raleigh, North Carolina, at the Red Hot Amphitheater, and conclude at the Nugget Event Center in Sparks, Nevada on September 12th. Along the way, there will be stops in places such as Toronto, Detroit, and Las Vegas. <\/p>\n In addition, the band will be joined by rock royalty in the form of Kansas and Jefferson Starship as their support acts, although the latter will only appear at select dates. <\/p>\n The freshly-announced Stateside tour will come in advance of Deep Purple\u2019s return to home shores in November, where they are set to embark on a UK tour<\/a> that will see them play in Newcastle, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester, and London. <\/p>\n On top of this, they will also play a historic final show of the run at the Royal Albert Hall in London<\/a> on November 25th, celebrating the legacy of their iconic performance at the venue in 1969 when they became the first band to perform a classical concerto live alongside an orchestra. <\/p>\n Although the past number of years have been difficult for the band, with guitarist Ian Gillan revealing last year that he was considering retirement due to his deteriorating eyesight<\/a>, the classic rocker recently revealed that they have plans for a new album. <\/p>\n Speaking of the record\u2019s concept, he said in a recent interview with Songwriting for Songwriters<\/a>: \u201cWell, it\u2019s very interesting on this one. I can\u2019t give you too much at this stage, but it\u2019s basically very optimistic. Let\u2019s say there\u2019s a general theme. It\u2019s a fairly loose conceptual idea of the end of humanity, but not as grim as it sounds. In fact, it\u2019s very optimistic.\u201d<\/p>\n Gillan added: \u201cIt\u2019s about the metamorphosis of humanity into a metaphysical state, our next incarnation. It\u2019s a bit too early to be doing interviews about this. I don\u2019t mean time of day. I mean, it\u2019s not gonna be out until June, so I don\u2019t want to give too much away.\u201d<\/p>\n Tickets for Deep Purple\u2019s North American tour will go on general sale from April 4th, with various presales beginning from March 31st.<\/p>\n Deep Purple 2026 North American tour:August04 \u2013 Raleigh, NC \u2013 Red Hat Amphitheater 08 \u2013 Clearwater, FL \u2013 The Daycare Sound09 \u2013 Hollywood, FL \u2013 Hard Rock Casino12 \u2013 Wantagh, NY \u2013 Jones Beach Theater13 \u2013 Mansfield, MA \u2013 Xfinity Center 15 \u2013 Halifax, NS \u2013 Scotiabank Centre 17 \u2013 Laval, QC \u2013 Bell Place 18 \u2013 Toronto, ON \u2013 RBC Amphitheatre 19 \u2013 Ottawa, ON \u2013 Canadian Tire Centre 21 \u2013 Detroit, MI \u2013 Pine Knob22 \u2013 Salamanca, NY \u2013 Seneca Allegany Casino24 \u2013 Indianapolis, IN \u2013 Everwise Amphitheatre25 \u2013 Highland Park, IL \u2013 Ravinia27 \u2013 Prior Lake, MN \u2013 Mystic Lake Casino29 \u2013 Winnipeg, MB \u2013 Canada Life Centre 31 \u2013 Calgary, AB \u2013 Scotiabank SaddledomeSeptember02 \u2013 Abbotsford, BC \u2013 Abbotsford Centre 04 \u2013 Lincoln, CA \u2013 Thunder Valley 05 \u2013 Mountain View, CA \u2013 Shoreline Amphitheatre 06 \u2013 Highland, CA \u2013 Yaamava Theatre08 \u2013 Chula Vista, CA \u2013 North Island Credit Union Amp 10 \u2013 Las Vegas, NV \u2013 Planet Hollywood11 \u2013 Long Beach, CA \u2013 Long Beach Amphitheater12 \u2013 Sparks, NV \u2013 Nugget Event Cente ADD AS A PREFERRED SOURCE ON GOOGLE All the latest music news from the independent voice of culture.![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/faroutmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/themes\/far-out-magazine\/img\/google-discover.svg\")
