The rock legends Whitesnake are embarking on their Purple Tour, which also includes a concert in Bulgaria in November.

The one of the most influential and most popular rock bands, which is favourite to several generations was founded in 1978 by David Coverdale, who had left Deep Purple two years earlier.

The Purple Tour will include all of the band's greatest hits and songs from their new album “The Purple Album”.

Following their numerous performances in 2013, which were part of the Foverermore World Tour, Whitesnake spent 2014 recording its twelfth studio album.

Coverdale commented that the new album is paying tribute and expressing gratitude to Deep Purple for being provided with the opportunity to be part of the band.

According to the singer, the Deep Purple “university” was a great school for him and he was looking forward to performing the songs from the new album live.

The tour starts at the end of May in North America and will continue there until at least the middle of August, their first concert being on May 28 in Washington D.C.

In the autumn the band will embark on a European tour, which will include a concert at the Arena Armeec hall in Sofia on November 24, the organisers from Sofia Music Enterprises inform.
