Status Quo frontman to perform in Harrogate

Tuesday, 16 June 2026 06:05

Status Quo frontman Francis Rossi.

Status Quo frontman Francis Rossi is set to perform in Harrogate as part of a brand-new UK tour this year.

The legendary musician will bring his ‘Songbook: Quo – Past, Present, Future’ show to the Royal Hall on Sunday 4th October.

The tour, which runs from September to November, will see Francis perform his own selections and interpretations from his extensive catalogue, alongside commentary and personal insights from his decades-long career.

Fans attending the Harrogate show can expect a journey through some of the biggest hits from one of Britain's most influential rock artists, alongside a selection of lesser-known tracks and surprises.

Speaking about the tour, Francis Rossi said:

“The pressure is on once more, as I have put together a really packed new show for Autumn of this year.

"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.”

Francis will once again be joined by guitarist Andy Brook, who co-produced the critically acclaimed 2026 album The Accidental and previously appeared on the sold-out 2025 ‘Songbook’ tour.

The ‘Songbook: Quo – Past, Present, Future’ tour offers fans a unique opportunity to hear all-time favourites from one of rock’s most celebrated songwriters, alongside some unexpected gems from across his remarkable career.

The Harrogate show starts at 7:30pm at the Royal Hall on Sunday 4th October 2026.
