Status Quo to perform at Dubai Opera
Following an incredible reaction and success of the current European Tour and a huge number of requests from fans and promoters, Status Quo has announced an extension to its current tour which will take in one night at Dubai Opera on 27 October 2017.
‘Last Night of the Electrics’ began in 2016 and is a thunderous electric live show featuring Francis Rossi, Andrew Bown, John ‘Rhino’ Edwards, Leon Cave and Richie Malone. Throughout their six-decade career the band has enjoyed over 500 weeks in the album charts and sold more than 118 million records worldwide!
With the release of 43 albums since founding member Francis Ross i was joined by Rick Parfitt to form Status Quo in 1967 the Quo became one of the biggest English rock bands of all time, spending a total of 415 weeks in the British singles chart. Racking up over 6000 live shows and performing to an estimated audience of over 25 million people, the boys, now continuing to perform without Parfitt who died at the end of 2016, have extended the tour dates to honour his memory.
Both founding members Rick and Francis were awarded an OBE in 2009 for services to music and charity and have a huge following worldwide. This amazing opportunity to see one of the greatest rock bands in the world is expected to generate rapid ticket sales and so the advice from Dubai Opera is to snap them up quick to avoid disappointment.
Dubai Opera’s Chief Executive Jasper Hope commented: “Status Quo are the ultimate live performers – and in a space as intimate as Dubai Opera, I expect their show will quite literally raise the roof this October. For anyone who’s been waiting for us to turn up the volume, this one’s for you, rock on Dubai.”
