The Talking Gib’rish Tour
Ian Gillan will undertake an extensive spoken word tour of Britain in the spring of 2027, dubbed as the Talking Gib’rish Tour. And we mean extensive: 24 dates in a month, visiting many nooks and crannies of the island.
The Talking Gib’rish Tour will offer fans a rare opportunity to hear behind-the-scenes stories from Ian in his own words…candid, humorous, and unfiltered.
Ian said, “I am quivering with anticipation at the prospect of embarking on my first ever public speaking engagements…The Talking Gib’rish Tour, in April/May 2027. I’ll be covering a lot of ground, from my early days in Hounslow to whatever might have happened on the latest World Tour with my beloved Deep Purple…and maybe something funky in-between. After 65 years on the road, there will be stories about some of the fascinating and sometimes magical events and people that I’ve encountered along the trail.
It’s going to be a blast!”
Ticket presales start at 10:00am on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, (check Caramba! for any further details), with general sales open on Friday, June 26th.
Full details, as usual, in our calendar.

Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
The fainting Danish lady appears again, will she or won’t she, that is the question. A good pensioner retirement option for Mr Gillan, as it has been for many other golden oldies. Some of them that play an instrument can add songs which is much better than all gibberish. But still, Gillan is a narrator in many ways, so I doubt he will be short of words. Will there be a ‘meet and greet’? Will Karin be able to get out at least one word before she collapses in front of her supreme deity. Stay tuned folks, same bat time, same bat channel.
