Starfighters (band) Starfighters are an English heavy metal band from the new wave of British heavy metal movement founded in Birmingham, England, in 1979. They attracted a strong British cult following but were not able to translate this into any lasting success, producing just two full studio albums in the early 1980s. Ex-member Stevie Young brought in some attention to the group after he joined the iconic hard rock band AC/DC in 2014.
Deep Purple European Tour The Deep Purple European Tour was a year-long successful concert tour by British hard rock band Deep Purple, lasting from July 1969 until June 1970.

It was the first tour to feature the classic Deep Purple line-up: Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord and Ian Paice. It is considered to be the pre-tour for the "In Rock" album, as the band mostly played songs from the upcoming album.
