Deep Purple

Ian Gillan (vocals), Roger Glover (bass), Ian Paice (drums), Steve Morse (guitar) and Don Airey (keyboards) – known to their fans as the "VIII line-up" are once again sounding out the full panorama of hard rock, and listening to their inFinite it is clear that they do so without copying themselves. This is why their 20th studio opus is one of the finest examples of rock music production since the band was formed in 1968. Key works such as In Rock (1970), Machine Head (1972) and Made in Japan (1973) rocketed the quintet into the major league of international album and concert blockbusters. With their hit Smoke On The Water the band rose to the status of rock icons. The fact that so many songs in their repertoire are regarded as classics regularly fuels discussions among old and new Deep Purple fans about what songs should be included in their set lists. The Long Goodbye Tour is the final tour for these rock legends, the parting gift of Deep Purple to their fans worldwide. This is the last chance to see them live – a must-see event for all those who love varied, melodious, virtuoso rock songs such as Black Night, Strange Kind Of Woman or Highway Star.
