Hard rock legends DEEP PURPLE have announced an extensive European touring plan in autumn next year. Support on the road will come from JAYLER and MAMMOTHWVH (all UK dates except London).

In Athens, they will be supported by JAYLER. The press release is the following.

Deep Purple returns to Greece on October 13, 2026 at Telekom Center Athens (O.A.K.A)! Having defined the sound of rock for more than five decades, the legendary DEEP PURPLE remain one of the most acclaimed bands internationally. Special guest at their unique Athenian appearance will be the rising JAYLER (UK), creating an explosive musical partnership that unites the past and the future of rock.

Few bands in history have managed to build such a dynamic and timeless musical legacy as DEEP PURPLE. With more than five decades of success, countless sold-out shows and their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, they are among the most influential and acclaimed bands of all time.

Their unparalleled catalog of music — from “Smoke on the Water” to “Highway Star” — continues to inspire new generations of musicians, while their live performances confirm their role as pioneers of hard rock. DEEP PURPLE’s music remains alive, relevant and influential. Their classic song “Child in Time” (1970) was recently used, in a renewed version, in the trailer for the new season of the blockbuster series Stranger Things, introducing one of rock’s most iconic songs to millions of new listeners and reigniting international interest in their unique sound.

Combined with the success of their album =1 (2024), DEEP PURPLE proves that they not only remain creatively active, but continue to redefine the boundaries of the genre for audiences around the world.

Save the Date: October 13, 2026 – Deep Purple in Athens (Telekom Center Athens – O.A.K.A). Don’t miss it!
