Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and “Voice of Rock” Glenn Hughes has announced an extensive U.S. tour for the spring of 2026. Dubbed “The Chosen Years,” the tour promises a two-hour, career-spanning set featuring music from his legendary tenures with Deep Purple and Black Country Communion, as well as material from Trapeze, Hughes/Thrall, his collaborations with Tony Iommi, and his latest solo album, Chosen.
The tour is built around a message of unity and healing. In a statement announcing the dates, Hughes shared his excitement and the tour’s mission.
“Looking forward to seeing you, on my next tour, in spring 2026,” he said. “A new show with good vibrations, to carry the message that ‘music is the healer’. I’ll see you down the front!”
The 25-date trek is scheduled to kick off on March 27 in San Juan Capistrano, California, and will run through May 10, concluding in Tempe, Arizona. For the tour, Hughes (vocals, bass) will be joined by a powerful backing duo of Søren Andersen on guitar and Ash Sheehan on drums.
The tour is a celebration of one of rock’s most illustrious careers, a rare opportunity for fans to hear the iconic voice of Deep Purple perform songs from every major chapter of his five-decade journey.
