THE LIVE SHOW
What Deep Purple concerts are like
A Deep Purple concert is a night of classic hard rock played by musicians who helped invent it. Highway Star, Perfect Strangers, Space Truckin' and Hush sit alongside newer songs, and Don Airey's Hammond organ solos are as much a highlight as the guitar.
Smoke on the Water usually closes the main set or the encore, with the whole crowd singing the riff. The audience mixes fans who have followed the band for decades with younger rock fans, and the atmosphere is relaxed rather than rowdy.
Tips for the Berlin show
- Stay for the end; Smoke on the Water is saved for late in the night.
- Seated tickets are comfortable for this show; the crowd mostly watches rather than moshes.
New to the music? Machine Head is the essential album; Highway Star and Smoke on the Water are both on it.

Getting to Uber Arena
Uber Arena is an indoor arena in Friedrichshain, Berlin, with a capacity of around 17,000. Warschauer Straße S-Bahn and U-Bahn station is a short walk away. The listed address is Uber-Platz 1, Berlin.
As an indoor arena, it is weather-proof, but bag-size limits and cloakroom queues are common, so travel light.
Travelling to Berlin for the concert
Most visitors flying in for this show land at Brandenburg Airport (BER). A Wednesday date usually means less competition for rooms than at the weekend, but getting home the same night after a weekday concert is hard, so staying over is the safer plan.
With a 19:30 start, the show will end late in the evening. Check the last train or bus back to where you are staying before you set off, and fly in the day before so a delayed flight does not cost you the concert.
