FRANCIS ROSSI TOUR 2026
‘An Evening of Francis Rossi’s Songs from the Status Quo Songbook and more...’ is coming to Germany!
Ten exclusive live shows presented by RBK FUSION
After over 100 very successful performances in the UK, the legendary frontman of STATUS QUO brings his new show titled “An Evening of Francis Rossi's Songs from the Status Quo Songbook and More...” to Europe.
In May 2026, Francis, who has always had a large fan base here, is also coming to Germany.
The ten German shows will feature songs he has never played in this format before. The evening with Francis Rossi offers – alongside the most important QUO classics – backstage stories from first-hand. Francis shares stories of his over 100 performances on Top Of The Pops, the legendary opening of the Live Aid concert in 1985, his life with Rick Parfitt, the hits, the other stars of the industry, and the mishaps around the world. All of this is spiced up with Francis's famous wit and British humor.
Fans can look forward to a real treat. The Mail on Sunday wrote: “When he strums with captivating fluency, all the nervous energy suddenly becomes heartwarming... life-affirming... arm-swinging.”
The Spectator added: "His voice is strangely effective in a more intimate setting, while the three-chord cliché is quickly cast aside. Additionally, he is a really good lead guitarist."
And the Daily Express states: “Francis Rossi captivates the audience with stories from his six decades-long career...”
A great and long career. Francis Rossi celebrates his 77th birthday in May 2026, on what might be his last tour.
On the ‘An Evening of Francis Rossi’s Songs from the Status Quo Songbook and more...’ tour, the living rock legend will play many of his signature hits that made Quo famous. In addition, Francis will present some of his personal favorite songs and share exciting stories from his incredible life in the music circus.
Think you know Francis? No, not quite...!
The story begins with the first hit ‘Pictures of Matchstick Men’ (1968) and continues to this day. Francis will mainly play on his Acoustasonic guitar, which, as he says, “is essentially a Telecaster, but better suited for a show like this – it still has the sound and voice of a Tele.”
Perhaps the last word, as always, should belong to Francis Rossi himself: "You know what? I really love this. Finally, I can do what I've always wanted to do, which is just play, without cranking the volume up to '11'. It has taken my whole career to hold back and really just be. I let the songs speak for themselves."
And for everyone who wants to speak with Francis: There is the option to purchase upgrade packages and meet the star backstage personally!
Doors open: 6:30 PM
Hallo, ich bin Maya.
