Deep Purple

On 9 July 2026, Deep Purple takes the stage at the Starlite Festival - Auditorio Marbella with the sound that defined their career: guitars with cutting riffs, a Hammond organ up front and a voice that cuts through the mix. Formed in England in the late ’60s, the band has delivered landmark albums such as In Rock, Machine Head and Fireball and continues to add new material, maintaining a recognisable pulse that blends rawness, groove and clear melodies.

Live, the group typically weaves together classics and recent compositions without resorting to cheap nostalgia. Anthems like “Smoke on the Water,” “Highway Star” or “Child in Time” may surface as reinterpretations that stretch into jams and leave room for the dialogue between guitar and keys, supported by a solid rhythm section. The set is built on long dynamics, shifts in intensity and measured solos, more focused on collective conversation than on flash. In Marbella, the proposal points to a journey through different phases of the repertoire, with arrangements that breathe and a precise, seasoned-band performance, meant to be heard loud and without unnecessary ornamentation.
