Deeper Purple

If you are a fan of classic rock, you might be interested in the upcoming tribute concert happening in Brighton on May 1st, 2026. The band, known as Deeper Purple, is bringing their show to The Barn Theatre, located at 24 Southwick Street. It is a bit of a specific setup, as the group focuses entirely on recreating the live sound of Deep Purple, specifically from their 1970s era. They have put together a setlist that includes well-known tracks like 'Highway Star', 'Child in Time', and 'Black Night', aiming to replicate that particular period of the band's history.

What makes this performance worth noting is the background of the musicians involved. The lineup is international, featuring players from New York, Spain, and the UK. Among them is Paul Morris, who has a history of working with artists like Rainbow, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Purpendicular. This current tour, which they have titled 'Space Truckers', is taking them across the UK and Spain throughout 2026, and this Brighton date is one of the stops on that schedule.

The event is set to start at 20:00. If you are planning to go, tickets are currently priced at £18.00. It is worth keeping in mind that the band has mentioned that prices can be higher if you wait to purchase them at the door, so getting them in advance is the standard recommendation for this venue. While there is no strict age restriction listed for the venue, the nature of the show generally attracts an adult or young-adult audience interested in this specific style of rock music. It is a straightforward opportunity to hear these songs played live in a local setting.
