Deep Purple to play in Chambery!
Think seminal rock music and you're bound to think of Deep Purple....'Smoke on the Water', 'River Deep, Mountain High' and 'Strange Kind Of Woman'.
Now you can see them live in our region! The band is on a massive world tour right now and although there are other dates in France (Paris, Marseille and Nantes) the supergroup who just won't retire is heading to Chambery on the 7th Dec 2009 at Le Phare stadium - easily accessible from our ski resorts!
Tickets will go on sale for the gig from 3rd April from the usual outlets such as FNAC and the official Phare website too. At the time of writing, prices are not known.
The band has actually been going since 1968 (wayyyyy before we were born!) and has seen numerous line ups with the likes of David Coverdale, Joe Satriani and Ritchie Blackmore all being part of 'The Purple'. The current line up is Ian Gillan on vocals, Steve Morse on guitar, Roger Glover bass guitar and synth, Don Airey on keyboards and the only original member Ian Paice on drums.
We're going to grow our hair long and get on down!
