With the third single, “Lazy Sod,” out now off Deep Purple’s new album, the awkwardly named =1, the band will hit Ovation Hall in Atlantic City August 30 and PNC Bank Arts Center August 31 in Holmdel. They’ve sold a staggering 100+ million albums in their seven decades, redefining hard rock and laying down the foundation for metal. Who here hasn’t worn out their copy of Made In Japan? With the departure of Steve Morse in 2022, guitarist Simon McBride has joined Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice and Don Airey so this most classic of Classic Rock bands can march on.
