Rock legends Status Quo have officially announced their return with a brand-new studio album and an extensive world tour set for 2026. The band, known for their unmistakable boogie rock sound and decades-spanning catalog of hits, confirmed that the new album is currently in the final stages of production and is expected to drop in early spring 2026.
This will be Status Quo’s first studio release since Backbone in 2019, and fans around the world are eagerly anticipating what the group has in store. According to insiders close to the band, the upcoming album will blend classic Status Quo elements with fresh songwriting and modern production touches, marking both a celebration of their roots and a bold step forward. While the title and full track list remain under wraps, early reports suggest that longtime fans won’t be disappointed.
Frontman Francis Rossi expressed his excitement during a recent studio session, stating, “We’re thrilled to be back doing what we love. This album means a lot to us, and it’s got that classic Quo energy. We’ve poured our hearts into these songs, and we can’t wait for everyone to hear them.”
Alongside the album announcement, Status Quo revealed plans for a massive 2026 world tour, which will kick off in the UK in late May. The tour will then travel across Europe, Australia, and select North American cities. The full tour schedule will be released later this year, with pre-sale tickets expected to go live in the fall.
For fans who have followed the band for decades, this announcement is a thrilling reminder that Status Quo’s flame is far from burning out. As they gear up for another major chapter in their storied career, one thing is clear: Status Quo are back, and they’re ready to rock 2026 with full force.
