Glenn’s Purple set in the UK
Glenn Hughes will take his “Classic Deep Purple Live” set to the UK later this year. The 9-date starts on October 2 in Bristol and wraps up on the 15th in London. Tickets for most shows go on sale for general public on February 23 at 10am.
Glenn’s band will include Soren Anderson (guitar), Jesper Bo Hansen (keyboards) and Fernando Escobedo (drums). There’s no word yet as to who will be in his band, nor who will be opening the shows.
Further details in our calendar.
Thanks to Lutz Reinert and Daniel Bengtsson for the info.

I will for sure attend any Swedish shows if they would appear.

February 21st, 2018 at 21:06This ought to be a great show. Glenn’s voice is still very strong and his bass-playing is superb. Will be nice to hear his take on some of the Purple classics. I hope I can make it to a show or 2 in the UK this fall to hear him.
February 21st, 2018 at 21:33Glenn says he may bring this show to North America in 2019.

Glenn came to New Zealand with the “Sons of Cream” tour. Many who saw that had no idea who Glen Hughes was! His rendition of Mistreated, just him and an acoustic guitar was phenomenal. Later last year he brought his Classic Deep Purple tour, which many turned up to on the strength of that previous performance. He didn’t disappoint. I never thought that I would hear these songs sung like this ever again.
