The details, in daylight
Deep Purple played Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary on 31 August 2026, with Kansas, Jefferson Starship in support. This show has already taken place — see Deep Purple's page on KeenToGo for their upcoming dates.
The saddle-shaped roof in Stampede Park is Calgary's skyline shorthand. Built in 1983 for the Flames and used for hockey and figure skating at the 1988 Winter Olympics, it has taken the city's arena tours ever since. Deep Purple are English hard-rock pioneers formed in 1968; Machine Head and Smoke on the Water helped invent heavy metal, and they remain a relentless touring force.
