(hennemusic) Ritchie Blackmore will play one of three rock shows revisiting his music with Deep Purple and Rainbow next year in the UK according to his agent who addressed rumors that he would play the Download festival.

The guitarist recently announced appearances at a pair of Monsters Of Rock festivals in Germany next June, and there's been speculation about a live return at the UK's Download event.

"Rainbow will only be playing three shows in 2016: two in Germany and one in the UK," Blackmore's agent, Alec Leslie, tells Metal Shock Finland. "The UK performance will not be at Download Festival."

Leslie confirmed the guitarist's third rock performance next year will be announced on November 2. Read more here.
