With their latest fully acoustic album Aquostic – Stripped Bare spending its 6^th week in the UK album chart, a new single coming out and a tour announced for next year, Status Quo are having a great year.

Arguably the most hard-working rock band of the last 50 years, Status Quo boast a longevity beyond compare. Quo hold the record for more hit singles than any other band, both international and British, in UK chart history. They have performed all over the world, for heads of state and royalty and now will be closing the 5^th Lechlade Festival in their full rock glory.

The festival have also confirmed the return of Dr and the Medics as headline act on the Saturday night. There will be an additional 60+ bands playing on 3 stages over the weekend with something to appeal to all tastes. Festival favourites such as Whole Lotta Led, Josephine and the Artizans, Twister, Xander and the Keys, Alex Rainsford, CU Tuesday and Frankenstein’s Lobster have already been confirmed.

“I can’t describe how excited we are to welcome Status Quo” said Festival Director Jennie Rainsford, “This is a real turning point for Lechlade and helps us to consolidate the hard work that’s gone into the last 4 years. Status Quo are legendary and always put on a fantastic show, tickets are selling fast.”

Tickets are now on sale for Lechlade Festival 2015 and make an excellent Christmas present for the music fan in your life! The festival continues to appeal to families by offering free tickets to all children 16 and under and a host of free family activities throughout the weekend.
