Published 2nd Nov 2015

Ritchie Blackmore has announced his only UK show of 2016 at Birmingham Genting Arena on Saturday 25th June.

One of the most influential and gifted guitarists of all time, Blackmore will be playing the classic anthems of Rainbow and Deep Purple at this extremely special one-off show. The lineup will be Ritchie Blackmore on Guitars, Ronnie Romero on vocals, special guest Jens Johansson on Keyboards, Bob Nouveau on Bass and David Keith on Drums.

TICKETS ARE NOW SOLD OUT FOR THE SHOW.

Ritchie says of the show: “I just felt like playing some rock 'n' roll for a few days, of just playing the old rock stuff, Purple stuff and Rainbow.

“I'm doing it for the fans, for nostalgia, and the singer I found is very exciting; he's a cross between Ronnie James Dio meets Freddie Mercury.

“So this will mean exposing a new singer to the masses, and I'm sure he'll become pretty famous because of his voice.”
