*FACTS FROM THE ROAD:

23.07.2022 - Statement by Simon Porter, Quo's manager about the cancellation at Karjurock Festival, Finland:

The band is very upset to disappoint their fans, but the festival organisers failed to comply with the band’s technical rider and staging requirements, which form an integral part of the contract. As such, it was impossible for the band to perform to the standards both they and their fans would expect. In the interest of clarity and transparency the technical rider concerns power and staging necessities. It is separate from the ‘dressing room rider’ i.e. food, refreshments etc.

10.09.2022 - To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the famous Insel Grün Rock Festival in Germersheim, Germany - Mercedes-Benz sponsors this special open-Air event with Status Quo, Uriah Heep and Nazareth at their huge areal on the island Green in Germersheim. All three bands performed in May 1972 and are still touring all over the world.

16.09.2022 - Status Quo performed a special private corporated gig in front of 800 invited guests to celebrate 150 years of german paper & packaging factory Palm at the headquarter in Neukochen Aalen, Germany.

21.11.2022 - Richie Malone celebrated in Tilburg, Holland his 200th show with Quo since joining them in Leuven, Belgium. 20.7.2016.

11.12.2022 - The band was special guests at the german DEL Icehockey game Red Bull Munich vs Adler Mannheim in the sell out Olympic Ice hall and did the opening bully. Unfortunatly the band had to leave earlier for their Soundcheck in the Olympiahalle.
