Ian Gillan 2027 spoken word tour dates
Besides releasing a new album with Deep Purple and touring extensively with the band this year, Ian Gillan has also announced his first ever spoken word tour. Called “Talking Gib’rish”, it will begin in 2027 and so far, includes only dates in the United Kingdom next April and May.
“I am quivering with anticipation at the prospect of embarking on my first-ever public speaking engagements, The Talking Gib’rish Tour, in April/May 2027. I’ll be covering a lot of ground, from my early days in Hounslow to whatever might have happened on the latest world tour with my beloved Deep Purple, and maybe something funky in between.”
“After 65 years on the road, there will be stories about some of the fascinating and sometimes magical events and people that I’ve encountered along the trail. It’s going to be a blast!” Ian Gillan said.
