Status Quo Announce UK Winter Tour For 2020
Written by Johnson Stephen on September 16, 2019
Status Quo are following on from their triumphant Hyde Park ‘Radio 2 Live’ show and coming back to reclaim their position on the live circuit with the ‘Backbone’ UK Winter Tour in 2020. Quo will be performing hits from across their five decade career, and of course the latest hit album ‘Backbone’ which charted at no.6 in the UK. It is the highest charting album of new material for 37 years, since ‘1+9+8+2’ in 1982.
The band are hitting seven venues across the country in November and December 2020 and this tour sees the band’s return to UK stages, as part of a major European tour, after largely taking a break in 2019.
Tickets will be on sale from 10am Friday 20 September 2019 via aegpresents.co.uk
Guitarist/Singer, Francis Rossi has this to say about the upcoming tour
“The pressure was on: this set of new songs had to be strong enough to take their place in that amazing catalogue of Quo classics. With songs like ‘Liberty Lane’ and ‘Backbone’ already road tested at massive shows in Hyde Park and on the Lynryd Skynryd tour, there’s no doubt that the new material stands up! We can’t wait to get back on the road in the UK” before adding “We’ve been away from the UK live circuit for a little while and we’ve missed it and we’ve missed the fans. The ‘Backbone’ album got such a great reception and people really understand what we are trying to do and the fans have really supported it. We can’t wait to get out there in 2020 on a proper Status Quo tour and play all the classics, plus some of these new songs for the first time.”
