Deep Purple Play Belgrade Arena on Saturday, October 10
The Mad in Europe tour has 35 shows in 22 countries, and Belgrade falls between Lodz and Skopje. The show starts at 8 p.m., with Jayler opening.
The Mad in Europe tour schedule reads like a train timetable: Sofia on September 29, Lodz on October 8, Belgrade on October 10, Skopje on October 11. There is no day off between the last two cities, so Deep Purple will play Belgrade Arena (Bulevar Arsenija Carnojevica 58) on Saturday, October 10, and be on stage in Skopje the next day. The Belgrade show starts at 8 p.m. The sources we read do not state when the doors open, so check your ticket or ask the organizer.
What does the Mad in Europe tour look like?
The European leg was announced on November 19, 2025, and began on September 29 in Sofia. It ends on November 24 at London’s Hammersmith Apollo. Over those 57 days the band plays 35 shows in 22 countries, roughly one concert every day and a half, for a group that has been around for more than five decades. Belgrade comes two days after Lodz and a day before Skopje.
The current lineup is on stage: Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Don Airey and Simon McBride. The latest studio album is called “SPLAT!”. Concert previews mention “Smoke on the Water”, “Highway Star”, “Child in Time”, “Perfect Strangers” and “Burn” among the songs fans can expect, but the band has not published a final setlist.
Belgrade has not waited long for the band. The fan site The Highway Star lists earlier Belgrade shows on December 6, 2019 and July 13, 2024. This is the third date in the city in a little under seven years.
Who opens the show?
The support act is the British band Jayler, which was named as the opener when the European tour was announced in November 2025. For the British dates other than London, Wolfgang Van Halen’s Mammoth WVH was added at the time, but Belgrade does not get that addition. According to the organizer, the concert starts at 8 p.m., with Jayler playing as the opening set. The Belgrade organizer is Skyevents, and Efinitix sells the tickets.
