Live Nation are delighted to announce that Britain’s best loved band, Status Quo, will head out once again on their traditional Winter tour of the UK in 2008, performing at Venue Cymru on Sunday 28 September.

Visiting 24 venues the length and breadth of the country, the “Pictures – 40 Years Of Hits” tour offers Quo’s army of fans the chance to experience the magic of this truly seminal British rock act. One of the world’s most enduring and successful live acts, the mighty Quo have influenced a generation of musicians and entertained millions with their driving, no-nonsense brand of rock.

2008 is set to be yet another huge year for the band and there is plenty of big news coming later in the year for all Quo fans. By the time Quo start the “Pictures: 40 Years Of Hits” tour they will already have performed shows in at least 12 other countries but the UK fans are the bedrock on which this band’s success is built and they cannot wait to get started. Francis Rossi said, “The 2008 UK tour is going to be very special for us. This year marks the 40th anniversary of our first ever hit single ‘Pictures Of Matchstick Men.’ We are going to celebrate in style – there will be lots of surprises thrown in along the way – and we want all our true fans to join us at these special shows to be part of a piece of Quo history”.
