Rock and roll legends
Deep Purple and Judas Priest will launch a co-headlining tour across North America in late August. The tour will begin on, August 21st in Cincinnati, Ohio and ends in Wheatland, California, on September 30th.
Deep Purple released their 27th studio album, Infinite, last year, supporting it on a rather lengthy tour that ran from May of last year, to December. The band’s current line-up includes members from the seventies – singer, Ian Gillan, bassist, Roger Glover and drummer, Ian Paice. Along with guitarist, Steve Morse, and keyboardist, Don Airey.
Judas Priest, also put out their 18th studio album, Firepower, this past March. It reached Number Five on the Billboard 200, making it the band’s highest U.S. chart placement to date in the United States. The band is currently touring with guitarist, Andy Sneap, who replaced longtime guitarist, Glenn Tipton, who parted ways with the band due to his battle with Parkinson’s Disease. Despite the announcement, Tipton rejoined the band during a New Jersey concert, playing three encore songs to end the night.
