Following the cancellation of their winter 2020 tour due the pandemic, enduringly popular classic rock act Status Quo will be making a return to the live stage with two Irish dates announced for The Olympia Theatre in Dublin and The Waterfront Hall in Belfast as part of their ‘Out Out Quoing’ tour.

The band went out with a bang prior to the cancellation, playing a Hyde Park show for Radio 2’s Festival in a Day to 65,000 fans.

Watch the video below for the band’s classic single ‘Rockin’ All Over The World’:

“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,” says Quo frontman Francis Rossi.

“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!”

The band will play Belfast’s Waterfront Hall on 27 February, 2022 and Dublin’s Olympia Theatre on 28 February, 2022.

Tickets for The Olympia Theatre are €65.50 including and restoration booking fees and go on sale this Friday, 23 April from Ticketmaster
