Back to the same old place
A couple of unconfirmed, but exciting dates in the Chicago area.
First, a one-off reunion of The Dead Daisies with Glenn Hughes have been announced. The show is booked for May 30, 2026, at the Arcada Theater in St Charles, IL.
Glenn will join Doug Aldrich, Tommy Clufetos and David Lowy for this rare, one-off performance delivering a thrilling 50/50 split set, kicking off with 10 of THE DEAD DAISIES’ favorite tracks followed by 10 iconic DEEP PURPLE classics.
Glenn’s solo show scheduled to take place at the same venue on April 11, 2026, had been “on the advice of the medical team” cancelled earlier this year, along with the rest of his extensive tour. Tickets for that cancelled show will be honoured for the May 30 performance.
Tickets go on sale on Friday, March 13 at 10 a.m. CST.
In even more exciting news, a Deep Purple show at the Ravinia festival in Highland Park, IL, has been announced on the festival site for August 25. Kansas is cited as support, and tickets are promised to go on sale April 23. Our fingers are crossed for more North American dates.
Thanks to Blabbermouth and Randy Engman for the heads-up.
