Deep Purple and Kansas in concert. That sounds fun, right? And it should be. The two giants from the 1970s will be doing a run of shows in 2026, going from early August to mid-September.
The tour includes a bunch of stops in Canada, too, which is great because the Great North often gets left out of huge rock tours. Deep Purple and Kansas will take their show to Canada for seven dates, including one in Nova Scotia.
The bands will also have Jefferson Starship around for 12 dates, so if you are a fan of a once-great 1960s band that turned to overly sugary rock-pop in the 1980s, Jefferson Starship is the group for you. You might also skip them and just see Deep Purple and Kansas and head to the concert late.
Deep Purple and Kansas hit the road together in the late summer of 2026
An artist pre-sale begins on March 31 (password DPBAND) at 10 am local time, while general public tickets will be made available on Friday, March 3, at 10 am local time. For more information, you can visit Deep Purple's official website.
Kansas will be doing their own tour before the Deep Purple dates. Those shows will be held from April to July, and the June and July concerts include 38 Special.
