Purple Daisies strike again
The Dead Daisies have announced a second show featuring their reunion with Glenn Hughes. It is scheduled for October 2, 2026, in the Los Angeles area.
What started as a one-night-only event at Chicago’s Arcada Theatre in May has become something much bigger! Following an incredible fan response and overwhelming demand, The Purple Daisies continue to celebrate the music of The Dead Daisies and Deep Purple.
Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple) will join Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake/Dio), Tommy Clufetos (Black Sabbath) and David Lowy (Red Phoenix/MINK), delivering a thrilling 50/50 split set kicking off with The Dead Daisies favourite tracks including Holy Ground, Unspoken and Long Way to Go followed by iconic Deep Purple Classics like Burn, Mistreated, and Highway Star just to name a few.
Hughes’ electrifying performances of the Deep Purple catalog have brought audiences to their feet worldwide, and paired with the raw energy and firepower of The Dead Daisies, these unique events promise – unforgettable nights for both devoted fans and the wider Classic Rock community.
Tickets are on sale. Caveat: at the time of this writing (June 10) the show is yet to be confirmed on Glenn’s site.
Thanks to Blabbermouth for the heads-up.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
I never quite understood why he left them in the first place, BCC will never turn into a proper working band and Glenn’s solo career has missed the train for re-catapulting him to stardom long ago. And with Doug Aldrich he has a great guitarist as a foil in the DD.
Having a multimillionaire behind you, content to play rhythm guitar, yet anything but miserly providing rock royalty amenities to the band members ain’t too bad either once you are a septuagenarian, there is nothing wrong with enjoying being spoiled – do the smart thing, Glenn!
