Deep Purple, Pretenders, Johnny Gallagher & The Boxtie Band

Three amazing bands on one spectacular night at the Salle des Etoiles during the Monte-Carlo Sporting Summer Festival.

Deep purple - The Long Goodbye Tour
Figureheads of the hard rock movement, like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, Deep Purple have marked several generations. Deep Purple are a legend of rock, due to their longevity and the dominant place they hold in the golden book of rock. They have spanned the generations and their album, “InFinite”, due to be released on 7th April 2017, will be a fine conclusion to this journey.

Pretenders
Another band which marked the history of rock is Pretenders. So, how can we explain this surprising come-back? It’s quite simple: Chrissie Hynde was working on a solo project with Dan Auerbach from The Black Keys, in her studio in Nashville. She was recording the logical follow-up of “Stockholm”, her magnificent album which was released in 2014. At the time, the record was supposed to be called “Chrissie Hynde Practices her Autograph”. But as the pieces of the puzzle started to fit, she realised that Pretenders were back!

Johnny Gallagher & The Boxtie Band
Known as one of the best guitarists in Ireland and the United Kingdom, Johnny Gallagher is above all a performer, taking advantage of the stage to express his explosive talent. His concerts are a successful mixture of original compositions and personal versions of songs by Pink Floyd, The Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Peter Green and Jimmie Rodgers.
