Deep Purple

Deep Purple play bp pulse LIVE on Saturday 21 November, part of a headline UK tour they've announced for November 2026. The Birmingham date is one of five, with stops in Newcastle, Glasgow, Manchester and London, so if you're around the Midlands, this is the one that puts them on your doorstep.

It's a big name to have in town. Deep Purple are global rock icons who've defined the sound of rock for more than five decades, and they're in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They're still regarded as one of the world's most revered and influential live acts, with a catalogue that runs from 'Smoke on the Water' to 'Highway Star' — the kind of songs that most people recognise even if they've never owned one of their records.

They won't be the only ones on stage that night. Support comes from Mammoth, formed and fronted by Wolfgang Van Halen, a GRAMMY Award nominee, and from the Midlands rockers Jayler. Having a local band on the bill gives the night a bit of a home-grown feel, and with Mammoth opening, there's a good amount of music to get through before the main act takes over.

Doors open at 6:00 PM, with the show starting at 7:00 PM, so you've got an hour to get in and find your spot. Tickets are £55 to £75 plus fees, depending on where you're sitting or standing. If you're planning to go, it's worth keeping the 21 November date in your calendar now.
