DPA microphones played a key role in ensuring the success of a highly unusual Status Quo tour, which took place recently in the UK.
After nearly 50 years as one of the world's premier hard rock acts, Status Quo shook everything up in 2014 with the release of Aquostic (Stripped Bare), a fully acoustic album of 25 completely reworked Quo hits. The success of the album led to a well-received show at London's Roundhouse, which was streamed live to BBC Radio 2 listeners. This, in turn, encouraged the band to play five more acoustic sets around the UK.
