STATUS QUO HEADLINE ROCK THE RACECOURSE 2008
QUO TO ROCK BURNS FESTIVAL
ROCK
icons Status Quo are to headline the 2008 Burns Rock At The
Racecourse concert at Ayr Racecourse, one of the main events of the
burns an' a' that Festival.
The legendary band announced the prestigious gig yesterday and founder member and guitarist Francis Rossi said : "The boys are delighted we have been asked to headline Burns Rock At The Racecourse. Normally the furthest south we are in Scotland is Glasgow so its good to be playing Ayr.
"I'm not too familiar with the works of Burns but I've
plenty of time to read up before the concert and who knows I might
even recite something form his works."
Burns Rock At The Racecourse will be staged on Saturday May 24 and
follows a successful first ever Rock At The Racecourse in May this
year which featured Deacon Blue and The Saw Doctors.
Burns Festival Director Michael McDaid said : "This is great
news for the burns an' a' that Festival. Rock At The
Racecourse was a huge success earlier this year and to be able to
announce that a band of Status Quo's standing are playing next
year is brilliant.
"The racecourse is a perfect venue for concerts of this type
and everyone who attended earlier this year recognised that.
"Status Quo have a huge following and by bringing a band of
this magnitude to Ayr we are sure will be build on this year's
audience of 5,000 people. The burns an' a' that Festival is
all about attracting visitors to this wonderful part of Scotland
and I am sure we will achieve that with this concert."
Status Quo are one of the most successful bands in the history of
rock. They formed in 1966 and have sold tens of millions of albums
and singles all over the world. The band are currently on tour
promoting their latest album "In Search Of The Fourth
Chord".
Tickets for the concert priced £27.50 are now on sale from Ayr
Racecourse and Ticketmaster.
