Deep Purple

Deep Purple will play on 9 November 2026 at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam. Since the late 1960s the British band has helped shape hard rock and heavy metal with driving riffs, Hammond organ and powerful vocal lines. With albums such as In Rock, Machine Head and Fireball they built a repertoire that became the blueprint for generations of rock bands.

Live, it’s all about energy and craftsmanship: layered guitar and organ parts, a rhythm section that propels the music and room for improvisation. The set moves between timeless favourites and more recent work; you will inevitably recognise themes like “Smoke on the Water,” “Highway Star” or “Child in Time,” alongside newer songs that show how the sound has continued to evolve.

This evening at the Ziggo Dome focuses on compact hooks, longer instrumental passages and that characteristic interplay between virtuosity and songs that stick. A set that links past and present, with the sound that has defined Deep Purple for decades.
