Deep Purple<\/a> and Kansas<\/a> launched their 2026 summer tour Tuesday night in Raleigh, with help from Jefferson Starship<\/a>.<\/p>\n You can find the full set lists and fan-shot videos from the show at the Red Hat Amphitheater below.<\/p>\n Although they’ve released 24 albums in their 58-year recording career, Deep Purple admirably dedicated nearly a third of their set to songs from their brand-new effort, SPLAT!<\/em><\/a>. Of course they also made time for big hits such as “Smoke on the Water,” “Highway Star” and the set-closing “Hush.”<\/p>\n Kansas delivered a nine-song set heavy on songs from 1976’s Leftoverture<\/a><\/em> and 1977’s Point of Know Return<\/em><\/a>. As you can see in the video below, they were joined by founding guitarist Rich Williams for a performance of “Dust in the Wind.”<\/p>\n Read More: Deep Purple Albums Ranked Worst to Best<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Jefferson Starship, who will appear at about half of the tour’s stops over the next five weeks, opened up the show with a nine-song set that included a new song named “Jet Pack” and a whiplash-inducing transition from 1967’s\u00a0psychedelic\u00a0Jefferson Airplane<\/a>\u00a0classic “White Rabbit” to Starship<\/a>‘s synthetic 1986 chart-topper “We Built This City.”<\/p>\n Deep Purple and Kansas will next travel to Clearwater, Florida for a Saturday night show at the Baycare Sound.
