Iron Butterfly tour

Experience Psychedelic Rock Legends Live with TicketPurchase.com

Performer Information

Few bands in music history have left as indelible a mark on psychedelic rock as Iron Butterfly. Formed in 1966 in San Diego, they helped define acid rock’s heavy, organ-driven sound — and fans still track the Iron Butterfly tour to experience those epic jams live. Founding members Doug Ingle and Ron Bushy powered the group’s rise, culminating in the 1968 landmark In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, which peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200 and spent over a year on the charts. The band has sold an estimated 30 million albums worldwide, with In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida alone moving over 30 million copies.

They’ve earned lasting, cross-generational appeal thanks to their signature Hammond organ tones, distorted guitar riffs, and extended instrumental sections. Certified 4x Platinum in the U.S., In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida remains a pillar of classic rock. Iron Butterfly’s influence bridges psychedelic experimentation and the emerging hard rock of the late 1960s — a sound that shaped countless bands that followed. While they have no Grammy wins, their cultural impact is undeniable.
