Deep Purple announces SPLAT! Europe Winter 2026 tour

Rock band Deep Purple has announced the SPLAT! Europe Winter 2026 tour, which includes a series of arena dates across Germany. The tour features a stop in Leipzig at the QI Arena on October 31, 2026, followed by performances in Hamburg, Dortmund, Berlin, Frankfurt, and Nuremberg.

The tour name is derived from the title track of their new album, Splat!, released on July 3 via earMUSIC. Produced by Bob Ezrin, the album is described by vocalist Ian Gillan as being reminiscent of the band’s classic 1969–1973 era.

Following the European leg, which includes dates in Amsterdam, Strasbourg, and London, the band is scheduled to continue in December 2026 with a Latin American tour featuring stops in Sao Paulo, Santiago, Buenos Aires, Monterey, and Guadalajara.
