Rossi founded the band that would become Status Quo in 1967 and released their breakthrough single, 'Pictures of Matchstick Men', the following year.

The group would go on to sell over 180 million records, enjoying 25 Top 10 albums in UK charts and performing over 6,000 live gigs.

Outside of his work with Status Quo, Rossi has recorded two solo albums and began his one-man tours in 2019.

Throughout his over fifty year career, he won a Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution, appeared on the Band Aid single and opened Live Aid.

Tickets go on sale May 7 at 10.00am. More information is available here.
