Deep Purple performs Highway Star live at Hellfest

Venue: Val de Moine Location: Clisson, Pays de la Loire, France Date: June 18, 2022

In June 2022, Deep Purple delivered an electrifying performance of 'Highway Star' at Hellfest, continuing their legacy as one of rock’s most enduring bands. Just prior to this live recording, they released their studio album 'Whoosh!' in August 2020, featuring a blend of classic Deep Purple sound with a modern twist. This album, embraced by both new fans and long-time followers, showcases their uncanny ability to evolve while staying true to their roots. What's particularly fascinating is that despite being a band formed in 1968, Deep Purple continues to captivate audiences with their high-energy shows and impressive musicianship. The fact that they still perform iconic tracks like 'Highway Star'—a staple from their 1972 album 'Machine Head'—at such events is a testament to their timeless appeal and the rich history that they carry with them on stage.
