Status Quo will headline the Bulldog's Main Stage on Friday 12th August 2011, lining-up with The Damned, Bad Manners and many more. The 25th Anniversary Bulldog Bash promises 4 days of the very best in hard-rocking, nitrous fuelled entertainment from the 11th to 14th of August 2011, Shakespeare County Raceway, in Warwickshire.

Quo are undoubtedly one of the world's most enduring live acts, this seminal British band has influenced a generation of musicians and entertained millions with their driving, no-nonsense brand of rock. Francis Rossi commented, "We love playing the Bulldog and it's fair to say that we are delighted to be back. It's one of the liveliest shows that the band play anywhere on the circuit and we're looking forward to giving the crowd a serious Quo rocking!"

2011 sees the release of their latest studio album "Quid Pro Quo" and the 12th August show will be one of the first shows in the UK at which the band air a couple of new tracks - plus of course a whole host of the massive catalogue of hits that made the band's name. True icons of the British rock scene, Status Quo have sold over 118 million records worldwide and had more hit albums (32) in the UK album charts than even The Beatles. Quo have recorded a massive 63 British Hit Singles having notched up 22 top ten UK singles since their first, 'Pictures Of Matchstick Men', reached number 7 in the UK chart in January 1968.

Fronted by the outrageous BUSTER BLOODVESSEL, Bad Manners will be lining-up alongside Status Quo to get the main stage crowds jumping on Friday 12th August. This nine-piece musical mini-orchestra took the music scene by storm between 1980 and 1983; when they spent 111 weeks in the pop charts and had 15 hit singles, with a diet of luscious and endearing lunacy that is still kicking today. Their early forays into the pubs and clubs created a cult live following that enabled them to be signed by Magnet Records for an 'undisclosed' sum of money without even recording a demo tape. They had succeeded in creating a unique blend of SKA, jump blues and boogie known as Ska'N'B which became the name of their first album in 1980. Their time in the charts exceeded that of Little Richard, Fats Domino, The Moody Blues, Culture Club and Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

The Damned, featuring original vocalist Dave Vanian and guitarist Captain Sensible, will headline on Saturday August 13th. The Damned, who are still defiantly challenging audiences, promise an amazing live show to mark their 35th anniversary in the music business at Bulldog 25. Hailed as "pioneers of Gothic Rock" - edgy, loud, always entertaining - yet never taking themselves too seriously; The Damned were the first of the London Punk bands to release a single (�New Rose') on Stiff Records, in 1976 and have subsequently scored 6 top 40 hit singles out of 17 top 100 chart entries, let alone half a dozen top 40 hit albums.

The Main stage kicks off on Thursday evening at 6pm (See www.bulldogbash.eu for full music listings).

Show spokesman Echo said: "We're as proud as hell to be able to invite everyone to join us in celebrating 25 years of the bash. We beat all the unjustified attempts to stop the event thanks to the support of the biking community, the people of Stratford and the local council - so let's enjoy the fruits of our victory and celebrate the landmark 25th year of the bash in style."
