Greece in May
The Greek Reporter announces four Greek dates for Deep Purple in May:
The tickets are supposed to go on sale on January 26. Athens, Patra and Thessaloniki shows will be opened by Vasilis Papakonstantinou, while George Gakis and the Troublemakers will open in Ioannina. Venue info for the last three shows is still to be figured out (and that’s where we are asking for your help as the referenced ticket vendor looks, well, all Greek to us).
Thanks to George Kikonishvili for the info.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Info for the other 3 shows in Greece and also ticket prices and presale will be announced in a few days according to the DETOX Events. If I find something out I will inform you.
January 25th, 2011 at 12:47Yes the best news ever!!!!!
January 25th, 2011 at 15:47There seems to be more anticipation for new gigs now than the so called (suggested|optional) writing session.
“The Anticipation” , nice new cd title?
” WritersBlock Solution” might be another.
January 26th, 2011 at 11:10yeeeeeeees…this is the best!!!
purple will come in Patras……….great……
please play the child in time..
January 26th, 2011 at 13:25I’m glad about the Greece dates. I guess we have to accept that Purple are an economic unit who make more money on the road than a band who want to make a new album. It would be great to see them go back in the studio and deliver a kicking album again – redefining who they are (as Perpendicular did!). This seems to be the same for all bands of their vintage (look at Jethro Tull too!). The bottom line is I am glad they are still there, doing it (as we all are!).
January 26th, 2011 at 22:54My sources may be wrong….so be it.
One can only hope (those of us whom actually wish to see a future Purple).If the future foresees a MK8 record, then that is the future for Purple. Mk9 is OK too. Being it is Purple whom pulls the strings, either way, it will be good, guaranteed. It’s a Purple thing. Where it is, and where it should be. By the band at hand.
Cheers,
Can’t wait.
January 27th, 2011 at 01:48Greece is a wonderfull place verty scenic . Have been on some holiday’s there & wish i could go back & see thsese concerts! The group sound much better live than on studio albums. Prefer them to stick to the concerts.
January 27th, 2011 at 03:40They sound more heavier plus lots more guitar work from Steve , & the songs come alive, when playing live. There last 2 studio album were not that fantastic, just a few good songs here & there.
I’ve benn i four concerts od DP in Thessaloniki. I think the 1st one was on 1998. on 2009 i was with my 2 kids (11 and 13 yrs old).
January 28th, 2011 at 21:25One morning, last week i was tellilng them that it would be very nice if DP will come again. And on the adternoon of the same day i read on the net about the upcomong show. We;ii all be ther again.
@8 And so new generations of avid fans will enter the Purple world.. 🙂
January 29th, 2011 at 10:59In Thessaloniki the gig will be hosted at PAOK Sports Arena and the ticket price is at 40€! Presale has already started at http://www.ticketarena.gr . For any other information I will come back!
