Following the cancellations in Leipzig and Hamburg, the remaining concerts of the European and UK tour cannot take place as plannedFollowing the short-notice cancellation of the concerts at the QI Arena Leipzig and the Sporthalle Hamburg last weekend, DEEP PURPLE unfortunately have to postpone all further dates of their “SPLAT! World Tour” in Europe and the UK until further notice. This is due to a medical emergency involving singer Ian Gillan, who had to be treated in hospital during their stay in Leipzig. On the advice of his medical team and management, the decision was made to interrupt the tour.
In addition to the previously cancelled shows in Leipzig (31.10.) and Hamburg (01.11.), the following concerts are affected:
03.11.2026 – Dortmund | Westfalenhalle
04.11.2026 – Berlin | Uber Arena
06.11.2026 – Frankfurt | Festhalle
07.11.2026 – Nuremberg | PSD Bank Arena
JAYLER had been announced as the support act.
In a personal statement, Ian Gillan addresses the fans: “Dear friends, thank you so much for all the well wishes and your support over the last few days, it means an incredible amount to me. In Leipzig, I had a health issue that required urgent treatment in hospital. I had hoped to get the green light to finish the tour, but doing so would have involved very serious risks. Therefore, on the advice of my medical team and management, we have decided to postpone the remainder of the European and UK tour until further notice. I am very sorry for any inconvenience caused, but it is the best decision for everyone involved. Thank you for your understanding. Cheers, IG”
DEEP PURPLE and their team are already working flat out on rescheduled dates, which will be announced as soon as they are confirmed. Tickets already purchased will remain valid for the rescheduled dates.
