Deep Purple recently released a new song, “Diablo,” the second single from their upcoming 24th album, Splat!, due out July 3rd on earMUSIC.

“Diablo,” which follows the first single “Arrogant Boy,” features global superstar and Grammy-winning guitarist, singer, and songwriter Keith Urban on second guitar.

“It is all about taking chances,” frontman Ian Gillan says about “Diablo.” “Just for once in your life, do something exciting, step out of the mould, take that curious bend in the road instead of sticking to the highway and do something that will, for the rest of your life, either guide or warn you.”

The band is gearing up for a major run of European summer dates, starting next week in Finland, followed by shows in Norway, France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland and Italy before the Splat World Tour heads to North America. The upcoming touring schedule includes 86 shows across 28 countries.
