*FACTS FROM THE ROAD:

24.03.2012 - Quo performed their very first gig in 2012 at a private concert near Düsseldorf, Germany on a Saturday evening. The event was the staff & business party for the ElectricPartners Group and marked the 75th anniversary of the company. The party attracted some 2000 guests in the Ballsaal of the Swissótel in Neuss. The party was kept secret until it was announced on social networks. Quo kicked off with "Caroline" and went on to perform a well-received 60-minute set.

02.06.2012 - The band had to curtail the set at the Strawberry Fest Wexford, Ireland because of heavy rain. The stage was drenched, pedals were soaked. At one stage they moved the pedals back, but to no avail. Middle section of their set taken out, no encore. Played just over the hour. They did their best, but it was a health & safety nightmare on stage, Rhino was splashing his feet to the beat.

15.07.2012 - ...for those that say the setlist doesn't change much, there's been quite a few setlist-variations this summer. It seems it all depends on the weather how long they play for. If the weather is fine, you'll get the full set, if it's raining expect them to scap the Heavy Traffic tracks "The Oriental" and "Creeping up on You", "Let's Rock" along with a shorter encore. 

09.09.2012 - After a holiday break for two weeks, Quo started their second leg of 2012 in front of a massiv 30.000 crowd at the BBC Radio 2 Live Festival at London Hyde Park, UK. The band played a rockin' 45 minutes set (19:05h -19:50h) including Caroline, Something'bout you Baby, Rain, Rock'n'Roll'n'You, In The Army Now, Roll over lay Down, Down Down, Whatever You Want and Rockin'all over the World. Their full set was broadcasted live on Radio and via Webstream to fans around the globe. Also appearing on the day: Mick Hucknall, Paloma Faith, Emeil Sande, Average White Band, The band Perry, Jessie J and Tom Jones.
