The classic rock bands will be joined by Jefferson Starship on select dates for a summer tour next year.
Deep Purple have confirmed a North American tour for the summer of 2026. They will be joined by fellow classic rock act Kansas as the primary support across all dates.
The run of shows will also feature Jefferson Starship on select performances, adding another layer of legacy rock to the bill. Specific cities and venues have not yet been announced, but the tour is scheduled to begin in July 2026.
This tour continues a pattern of major heritage rock acts undertaking extensive runs years in advance, locking in large-scale productions for dedicated audiences. For these bands, whose foundational albums are now decades old, such tours function as ongoing cultural rituals as much as concert events.
