Rock legends Status Quo tune up for Hull gig

Rock legends Status Quo will visit Hull next year as part of a new UK and Eire spring tour called “Out Out Quoing”.

The band will play at the Bonus Arena on Wednesday, March 2, 2022, as one of 14 British and Irish dates before heading into Europe.

Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday.

In September 2019, Quo performed a triumphant set at the massive Radio 2 ‘Festival in a Day’ event in London’s Hyde Park in front of 65,000 fans. That turned out to be their last UK show as the ‘Backbone’ Winter Tour of 2020 was cancelled in its entirety due to Covid-19. 

The band said they are delighted to be able to announce their long overdue return to the live circuit.

 Singer Francis Rossi said: “We cannot wait to play again. Every gig is special for Quo but it’s been too long since we got to play anywhere. Going out is something that we all took for granted. Not any more.

“Going out, going out properly – ‘going out out’, as some would have it - became a bit of dream but now that dream can come true. The name of the tour is a bit of humour, but a celebration too. However, I’d urge fans not to overthink it and just prepare for all the hits and some serious live music energy.”
