*FACTS FROM THE ROAD:
23.10.2023 - Official Ticketstart for the German Open-Air dates 2024.
14.06.2024 - Status Quo have been inducted into Mérida Walk of Fame just before their gig at the famous Teatro Romano de Mérida, Spain. Thanks to Lee Hawkins for the great photo. More infos at Lee's fantastic website "The Quo Annuals" https://www.leehawkins.com/NoFrames/Reviews/jun24.htm#madrid
23.08.2024 - The Beginning of the End... Under normal circumstances, Taunton Vivary Park, UK will go down in the band's glorious history as probably the last Status Quo live concert -for e v e r.
03.12.2024 - The fact that Taunton really was Quo's last concert is underlined by the fact that auctioneer Gardiner Houlgate auctioned off the band's entire 2024 used stage equipment. In addition to AC30 and Marshall amps, Andy Bown's entire equipment collection also went under the hammer, including his Roland RD-700 keyboards and his famous Hammond B3 organ. The complete backline alone fetched over £10,000.
