Info
On August 18, 2026 at RBC Amphitheatre in Toronto, Deep Purple shares the stage with special guest Kansas. Formed in late-60s England, Deep Purple forged a sound built on heavy guitar riffs, roaring Hammond organ and a sharp sense of dynamics. From the In Rock, Fireball and Machine Head era to their more recent releases, the band has kept a straight line: tight grooves, extended instrumentals and vocals cut for the stage. Smoke on the Water, Highway Star or Child in Time shaped a blueprint that still fuels their live energy, between precise playing and space for improvisation.
Kansas opens the evening with its blend of progressive rock, melodic drive and symphonic touches. Born in Topeka in the early 70s, the group built its identity around guitars, keyboards, vocal harmonies and a prominent violin, moving from long-form pieces to more direct songs. Albums like Leftoverture and Point of Know Return anchored that approach, with writing that balances rhythmic shifts and clear hooks. Still active on record and on the road, Kansas brings a set that links its classic repertoire with its later work, keeping that mix of breadth, melody and momentum.
