On October 8, Deep Purple will perform at Atlas Arena in Łódź. The concert is completely sold out—the band will play to a full house. Fans can look forward to an evening featuring the greatest hits of one of the most important bands in rock history, including the iconic “Smoke on the Water.”
Deep Purple at Atlas Arena
The Deep Purple concert is now SOLD OUT. On October 8, the Atlas Arena will be packed to the brim with fans of the British band, which has been shaping the history of hard rock for over five decades. The concert in Łódź will also be Deep Purple’s only performance in Poland in 2026 and part of the SPLAT! Europe Winter 2026 tour.
The band will come to Łódź with a setlist featuring songs from their more than 50-year career. “Smoke on the Water,” “Highway Star,” and “Child in Time” are just a few of the songs that have cemented Deep Purple’s place in rock history. Their music continues to resonate with new generations of listeners—a new version of “Child in Time” was recently featured in the trailer for the latest season of the series “Stranger Things,” bringing renewed widespread attention to one of the band’s classic songs.
Deep Purple, however, isn’t limited to revisiting its classic repertoire. In 2024, the band released the album “=1,” which was met with critical acclaim and demonstrated that the band remains active as creators of new music. The concert in Łódź will therefore be an opportunity to see a band whose history dates back to the late 1960s, but which continues to tour regularly and release new material.
The evening at Atlas Arena will kick off with Jayler, a young British rock band. The group will perform as the opening act for Deep Purple, showcasing the contemporary face of British rock.
