Francis Rossi, Status Quo frontman, plays a selection of Status Quo classics and his own songs on his 'Songbook: Quo' UK tour.
Francis Rossi brings his Songbook: Quo - Past, Present, Future tour to the Princess Theatre on Monday 9 November, starting at 7pm. It's a new show from one of Britain's most loved and influential musicians, and the Torquay date is one stop on a 61-date UK tour that runs from September 2026 through to May 2027.
The set is a hand-picked selection of Status Quo classics, a few deep cuts, and a new medley, alongside Rossi's own interpretations from his solo catalogue. He'll be talking throughout, offering his own commentary and insight into the songs. He's promoted it as the only place to hear these particular personal selections, so it's not just a run-through of the hits.
On stage, Rossi is joined by guitarist Andy Brook. The two have worked together closely: Brook co-produced Rossi's critically acclaimed 2026 album The Accidental and played on the sold-out 2025 Songbook Tour. The Torquay show is part of the wider 61-date run across the UK, which stretches from September 2026 to May 2027.
