In the rock 'n' roll canon this British quintet sits among the foremost pioneers of heavy metal and hard rock. With over 100 million album sales under their collective belt, this furious fivesome ranks alongside Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath for their continued influence on the genre, having inspired generations of musicians with their brand of spaced-out prog rock.

Envisioning a "supergroup" in which members could join and leave when they wanted, drummer Chris Curtis' ambitious project rapidly took flight in the late '60s. Following a flurry of line-up changes, the newly-minted group released debut album Shades of Deep Purple in July 1968. One of the tracks - a cover of 'Hush' - enjoyed phenomenal success after reaching Number Four on the Billboard Hot 100. The up-and-coming musicians soon found themselves supporting Cream on tour, but experienced a setback as their label went into administration.
Settling on a new line-up and a decidedly heavier sound, the group's big break came in the form of the Concerto for Group and Orchestra. The early '70s brought a new album but a terrible turn of events when a fire broke out in their would-be studio. Refusing to be defeated by this unfortunate accident, the group used it to inspire their breakthrough hit 'Smoke on the Water', featuring what would become an iconic guitar riff. The album it originated from, Machine Head, became their most successful record, reaching Number One in the UK and entering the Top 10 in the US.
Reforming in 1999 following a 10 year split, the band continues to reach new heights with boundary-pushing compositions and their arresting on stage presence. Browse listings for Deep Purple tickets on StubHub UK for the chance to be down the front during their next electrifying performance.
