Status Quo's album Pictures (released in November 2008) celebrated 40 years of the band’s domination of the UK charts. The record was an instant success, charting at No.8 and selling over a quarter of a million copies in the UK alone.
In July 2009, Status Quo arrived in Switzerland with a bang – and performed their Pictures live tour in Montreux as part of the world famous festival. The band, lead by Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt, also featuring John ‘Rhino Edwards, Matt Lettley and Andrew Bown, delivered an amazing set of hits and classic tracks from across their career.
Huge screens behind the stage illustrate high points from Quo's career and the usually reserved Swiss crowd go mad for the band that brought us hits such as Rockin’ All Over the World and Whatever You Want.

Caroline
The Wanderer

So if its on the 13th March, why advertise it in that Sky Magazine, that I have to pay for but don’t actually want cos its full of rubbish, as being 17th February and almost making me tape something I don’t want to see!?
