Aquostic Live will be the future for the band after the Last Night of the Electric Tour 2016/2017. Most of the AQUOSTIC LIVE shows in 2017 are full seated. Status Quo have been forced to postpone their gig scheduled for Sunday, 25th June at Norwich due to illness. Francis Rossi has been diagnosed with laryngitis. The band plan to rescheduled the show on Thursday, 16th November 2017 - the start of the AQUOSTIC LIVE European Tour.

***The Band and Management have had a change of hearts and they've decided to plug in the electric guitars for the UK shows and renamed it "PLUGGED IN - Live and Rockin' Tour". The renamed 2017 UK Winter Tour will now be fully electric, althrough this change applies to AQUOSTIC LIVE UK dates only. The Band haven't toured the "AQUOSTIC LIVE" show in Europe and promoters have requested that the shows stay in that format.*** "
