Deep Purple are taking their new SPLAT! world tour deep into Germany in late 2026. According to German ticketing platform Eventim, the band will play a string of indoor arena shows in Leipzig, Hamburg, Dortmund, Berlin, Frankfurt and Nuremberg between October 31 and November 7, 2026 as part of their current tour cycle.
German arenas on the SPLAT! route
The strongest anchor for fans in Germany is the newly confirmed indoor leg. Eventim lists a run branded as Mad In Europe Tour 2026 - Winter, starting on October 31, 2026 at QUARTERBACK Immobilien Arena in Leipzig and continuing through Sporthalle Hamburg on November 1, Westfalenhalle in Dortmund on November 3, Uber Arena in Berlin on November 4, Festhalle Frankfurt on November 6 and Arena Nürnberger Versicherung in Nuremberg on November 7.
Metal magazine metal.de reproduces the same routing and notes British rockers Jayler as the support act for these German arena shows, underlining that the dates follow a summer open-air leg in Meppen, Mönchengladbach, Coburg, Ulm and Munich earlier in 2026. Together, the listings show that Germany is one of the core territories of Deep Purple’s 2026 touring campaign.
How the SPLAT! world tour is structured
Deep Purple’s official tour page outlines a much larger picture: a North American run in August and early September 2026, followed by a European leg that takes the band from Bulgaria and Romania through Hungary, Slovakia and Austria to major arenas in Prague, ?ód?, Belgrade, Athens, Zurich and Milan. The German indoor dates slot into this Europe Winter 2026 segment after the band have completed their North American and Eastern European shows.
The same site shows that the tour starts in early August 2026 in the United States, then moves north into Canada before crossing the Atlantic for the continental European shows. This routing means German fans see the band towards the end of the touring year, with a road-tested set that has already passed through at least three continents.
