An Evening of Francis Rossi's Songs from the Status Quo Songbook and more

Francis Rossi is extending his forthcoming tour of the UK with 30 new dates added in 2025. These shows will feature songs that he has never played before in this format and offer first hand backstage tales about appearing over 100 times on Top Of The Pops, why they went on first at Live Aid, life with Rick Parfitt, the hits, fellow stars, and misadventures across the world, all cut through with Francis' wit and humour.

Francis will perform many of his signature hits that made the Quo name, plus some personal favourites and deeper cuts, and he'll be telling more stories about his incredible life in music. Think you know Francis? Not yet you don't... The story starts with 'Pictures of Matchstick Men' but continues right up to the present day. Francis will mostly be playing his Acoustasonic guitar which, as he says, "is basically a Telecaster but is more compatible with a show of this nature - it still has the ring and sound of a Tele".

With "An Evening of Francis Rossi's Songs from the Status Quo Songbook and more..." Francis Rossi promises a refreshing take on some of his most loved and enduring material, and indiscreet fresh tales from across the incredible career of one of Rock's great performers and raconteurs.
