The group Deep Purple will celebrate its 50th anniversary with great concerts on the stage of the Olympic sports complex in Moscow, on May 30th and in the Ice Palace in St. Petersburg on June 1st.
It will be a unique opportunity to see one of the most influential bands in the history of rock music. Deep Purple will play all their best and favourite hits, as well as new songs from their twentieth studio album “inFinite”, which became the main inspiration for their new world tour.
In the late 60’s and 70’s in England, there were many famous groups involved in “heavy music”. Rock band Deep Purple originally from Britain, was founded in February 1968 in the English city of Hartford. Deep Purple, according to many music critics, has become one of the founding fathers of hard rock, although it is noted that their genre of performances are not limited to only hard rock compositions but are much more diverse. In 1972, the group was included in the Guinness Book of Records, as the loudest group of the globe. This was due to the Deep Purple concert in London at the Rainbow Theatre, where their sound reached 117dB.
Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Pace, Steve Morse and Don Airy have become ageless rockers and continue to conquer the world with their wave of hard rock and frenzied energy that has made them such icons. Every one of the band’s concerts is a virtuoso musical performance, filled with improvisations and unexpected moves. They are an ageless hit and always create a unique show that never disappoints.
Although Saint Petersburg is best known for its stunning museums, classical or baroque decors, ballets and operas, it is still the perfect place for a rock concert. Book a tour and learn about the history of Saint Petersburg’s relationship with rock, be it Russian or international and make sure not to miss a legendary night such as the Deep Purple concert. Tickets will go quickly so book soon!
