Ian Gillan

The Ian Gillan team are proud to announce that Ian will be touring the UK in the spring of 2027 with his 'Talking Gib'rish Tour'. This very special series of live speaking events will allow audiences to hear personal stories from Ian's remarkable life and career in music. From his childhood in Hounslow to the global rise of Deep Purple, Ian will reflect on the experiences, music and outlook on life that shaped one of rock's most influential careers. The tour offers a rare chance to hear directly from a true icon of rock music.

Ian Gillan's career now spans more than six decades, with his voice remaining one of the most distinctive and celebrated in rock. He joined his first band, The Javelins, in 1962, then teamed up with Roger Glover in Episode Six in 1965. Touring with Dusty Springfield and performing across Europe and the Middle East helped shape his musicianship and distinctive vocal style. In 1969, Ian joined Deep Purple in what became one of the pivotal moments in rock history.
