Info
Deep Purple hits Rogers Forum in Abbotsford, Canada on September 3, 2026, with special guest Kansas, for a night that connects British hard rock to American prog.
Formed in late‑60s England, Deep Purple shaped a sound built on heavy guitar riffs, Hammond organ and agile vocals. From In Rock and Machine Head to Fireball, the band forged staples like Smoke on the Water, Highway Star and Child in Time. Decades on, they deliver sets that move between early classics and newer material, played with a tight, driving groove.
Born in Topeka in the early 70s, Kansas blends progressive breadth with melodic drive, weaving guitars, keyboards, vocal harmonies and violin. From the self‑titled debut to Song for America, Leftoverture and Point of Know Return, their writing moves between long-form pieces and more direct rock songs that land clearly in concert.
Out of San Francisco’s Jefferson Airplane family, Jefferson Starship brings a West Coast rock palette where folk rock, pop rock and a hint of psychedelia meet more straight-ahead arrangements. Their live set revisits different eras of the band’s catalogue with a focus on songcraft and ensemble interplay.
