The Who Announce 2015 North American Tour

the-who-50

The Who, one of rock’s most legendary and defining bands, will celebrate their 50-year legacy when they bring their The Who Hits 50! tour to North America in 2015. The Who Hits 50! tour will kick off its spring run April 15 in Tampa, FL and include 20 stops throughout the east before wrapping May 30 in Forest Hills, NY. The fall leg will launch September 14 in San Diego, CA and begin with west coast dates throughout the U.S. and across Canada before concluding November 4 in Philadelphia, PA. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, October 17 at 10:00 AM (local time) at www.thewho.com.

“This is the beginning of the long goodbye,” says Who frontman Roger Daltrey.

Pete Townshend commented, “Trying to stay young. Not wearing socks. Growing a great big Woodcutter’s beard. Might even wear a check shirt on stage and get a tattoo of a Union Jack. Always a fashion victim. But under no illusions. We are what we are, and extremely good at it, but we’re lucky to be alive and still touring.”

The classic songs fans can expect to hear on The Who Hits 50! tour will appear on the band’s forthcoming The Who Hits 50! collection. Set for an October 27, 2014 release on Geffen/Universal Music Enterprises (UMe), this definitive collection of The Who’s greatest tracks – from their very first recordings as The High Numbers right up to the present day with the brand new track “Be Lucky” – is being released to coincide with the band’s 50th anniversary tour.
