Ritchie Blackmore’s RAINBOW Announce UK Show In June 2016

Guitar legend Ritchie Blackmore will be back to the stages of rock in 2016. Two shows in Germany were recently confirmed, taking place at the Monsters Of Rock Festival 2016 on June 18th and Loreley, Freilichtbühneon on June 17th.

And now a UK date has been confirmed. It will take place on Saturday, June 25th 2016 at Genting Arena in Birmingham, England. Details on musicians joining Blackmore for this performance will be announced on Wednesday (November 4th), with tickets for the show going on sale at 10 AM on Friday (November 6th).

Blackmore recently spole with Billboard.com about these special shows:

“I’m now 70, so I just felt like playing some rock ‘n’ roll for a few days. We’re going to do four or five dates 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 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.”
