Francis Rossi the frontman of legendary Status Quo brings his solo tour to theatre am Tanzbrunnen in Cologne. Rossi released three solo albums, over 100 singles and  33 studio albums with Status Quo with a career spanning 63 years. Status Quo, one of UK’s longest running bands had 60 chart hits over the years in the UK, more than any other band. They performed 3700 documented and roughly 6000 undocumented gigs over the years. Between 1968 and 2019 the band was on multinational tour every year, their highest gigs per year was 144 in 1971. While they had massive success in UK and Europe they had only minor chart presence and never broke through as a mainstream band or toured extensively in North America.

‘The Accidental’ by Francis Rossi, will be released through earMUSIC on 30^th January 2026 on CD, LP and Digital formats, comes as something of a surprise… It was a surprise certainly to Francis, who had no plans to record an album. While Rossi’s previous solo albums explored his love for acoustic ballads, vocal harmonies, and the blend of British rock with country influences, this album, Francis Rossi’s first in seven years, marks a true return to the energetic, guitar-driven sound that made him a legend with Status Quo. ‘The Accidental’ sees Francis Rossi playing to his strengths, but taking risks, cutting loose, and exploring new territory – this album is all about old bones and fresh blood.

Francis Rossi will play at the Theater am Tanzbrunnen on May 15, 2026 as part of his ten date Germany tour in 2026.
