Touring update
Deep Purple are in the process of finalizing the dates for a tour of Mexico this November. In an unusual twist of events, the dates are already posted on the official site, albeit some venues are still to be determined, and none are on sale.
Glenn Hughes has added several more European dates to his Classic Deep Purple Live tour: Prague, Kiev, Moscow, Helsinki, and Tampere confirmed, but so far partially ticketless, while the 3 Dutch dates are on sale, but unconfirmed. Bernie Marsden will be supporting at the Kiev gig.
Thanks to Lutz Reinert and Shades of Deep Purple for the info.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Is there any word of Hughes bringing Classic Deep Purple Live to Canada ??
June 13th, 2018 at 14:59I’ve seen pretty much the full show on YT.It is very energetic and faithful to Mark III & IV live performances.
tickets for the Glenn Hughes Classic Purple Live show @ Hengelo ( eastern part Netherlands) are on sale. It’s a venue with a capp. of about 800. No seating only standing. Glenn performed there once in 2006 before they moved to a new place, it was a great show and 2 years ago he was sceduled to play with Living Color but that show was pulled out.

June 13th, 2018 at 16:45@1: I interviewed Glenn Hughes last week and he was very proud to say that they are trying to take this show all over the world. As afar as I remember, he didn’t mention Canada in particular but he said North America.
June 13th, 2018 at 17:24Glenn Hughes was a deception in Vila Velha, Brazil. I got deeply disappointed with him. He was hoarse and cold, and made a chaotic karaoke, instead of giving up and put off the show. This seemed to me a disrespect to the fans. I won’t see him again and I can’t since then listen his music on my player.

June 13th, 2018 at 21:05What I love about this Deep Purple shows in Mexico is that it doesn’t matter how young or how old we are, the crowd is always standing and listening to both the classics and newer songs, and in return the bands always play at their best. Viva Deep Purple! ✌️
June 14th, 2018 at 19:05They can all retire happily in Mexico after the tour which is not a bad place!!!!
June 14th, 2018 at 20:22They can all retire happily in Mexico after the tour which is not a bad place at all!!!!! When they said it’s the long goodbye tour they meant every word. After all how long is a piece of string??!!
June 14th, 2018 at 20:26…what about some Australian dates? Would perfectlx fit between 23rd of Oct and 2nd of Nov.2018! …I will be down under at this time … 😉
