A brand new show, entitled Francis Rossi ‘Songbook: Quo – Past, Present, Future’, will see one of Britain’s most loved and influential musicians take to the road for 30 UK dates from September to November 2026. These shows will go on sale on Friday 30th January 2026 at 10am from www.aegpresents.co.uk/event/francis-rossi/. Fans can also register to gain access to the Francis Rossi AEG Presents Presale on Thursday 29th January at: https://www.aegpresents.co.uk/francis-rossi-presale/ The Francis Rossi ‘Songbook: Quo – Past, Present, Future’ shows will include, of course, a hand-picked host of Francis’ many evergreen Status Quo classics, some deep cuts; and he is also working up a new medley. This tour is the only place to hear Francis’ own selections and interpretations from his incredible catalogue, plus the added bonus of some commentary and insight from the man himself.

Available for the first time on this tour, the strictly-limited VIP Soundcheck Experience ticket will include: Access to soundcheck and an exclusive performance of two songs not featured in the main show; a stage / tech rundown with Francis’ sound engineer; and one of the best seats in the house for the main show. Additionally, VIP ticket holders will receive a limited-edition signed 7” single [available only with VIP access], and an exclusive tour lanyard.

Francis Rossi said, “The pressure is on once more, as I have put together a really packed new show for Autumn of this year. I’ll be keeping a whole lot of the hits in the set, of course, but also mixing it up with a couple of curveballs. These theatre shows are a great way to really connect with the audience, and try something a little bit different.”

Francis Rossi will once again be joined on this tour by guitarist Andy Brook, who co-produced the critically acclaimed 2026 album ‘The Accidental’ with Francis, and appeared on the sold out 2025 ‘Songbook’ tour.

The Francis Rossi ‘Songbook: Quo – Past, Present, Future’ Tour 2026 is a great opportunity for fans to hear many all-time favourites from one of rock’s greatest songwriters, as well as some unexpected gems, it’s a journey through the incredible career of a true one-off artist.
