Status Quos Francis Rossi Song Book Past Present Future UK Tour 2026-2027

Francis Rossi’s ‘Songbook: Quo – Past, Present, Future’ tour is coming to Derby on Sunday 4th April 2027.  Due to high demand, the tour has been extended into 2027, with a further 31 shows from one of Britain’s most loved and influential musicians, including Derby. Francis will once again be joined on this whole 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 tour 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. The Francis Rossi ‘Songbook: Quo – Past, Present, Future’ Tour 2026-2027 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. Francis Rossi said, “I am delighted to extend this run on from the thirty dates already announced for later this year. The pressure is on once more, as I have put together a really packed new show. I have really enjoyed taking the current show into Europe but can’t wait to get back out on the road in the UK again with this one.  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.” Tickets for this show go on sale Friday 19th of June at 10am at vaillantlive.co.uk. 00
