Deep Purple is coming to Cyprus

Yes, yes, yes. All those rumors from the last six month were actually true. The fathers of rock music – Deep Purple – are coming to Cyprus. They will be performing at Makarious Stadium in Nicosia on 15th July 2005.

Does anyone have any ideas about the tickets? Where can I buy one and how much will it cost? 80+ CYP seems like a standard entry-level charge, but I need someone to confirm.

Anyway, if you have any additional information about the event, please let me know via comments.

  1. best I could find is this article in Greek: http://www.typos.com.cy/nqcontent.cfm?a_id=53915
    Claims that presale tickets are £25, and at the door £30. It does have a contact number so give that a try since the article doesn’t say where and when tickets go on sale.

    btw, I am boggled that you would be willing to pay CYP80!!


  2. I didn’t say that I was willing to pay 80 CYP. :) 80 CYP are out of my range, but Deep Purple is one of those legends that I might consider pay that much.

    I’m glad to hear that there is a possibity of lower prices. Thanks for the info! :)


  3. I was at the grocery store today (AlphaMega) and saw a poster. Apparently in Limassol you can buy tickets from Musical Paradise (four locations). and tickets are indeed £25 and £30.


  4. Thanks! Even 30 CYP is a good price. I’ll go to the concert if I will find tickets in time. Something tells me that there are too few fans of Purple in Cyprus and I don’t have to worry about it anyway. :)


  5. real rock music in the island?? i can’t believe it…

    i’ll watch them this weekend at istanbul. can anyone tell me about their playlist??


  6. Bora,

    I don’t know what they’ll be playing in Istanbul. Since they were the first time in Cyprus, they played on their best hits like “Smoke on the water”, “Highway star”, “Space trucking” and things like that. For the rest of the Europe they are touring their “Bananas” album. Probably this is what you will be hearing. :)
