Daltrey & Townshed Announced The Who Tour!!!

The Who are ready and looking forward to take the stage for their first North American concert tour in four years.

The tour will be commencing from November 1 in Florida, and consists of founding members Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend alongside Zak Starkey, Pino Palladino, Simon Townshend, Chris Stainton, Loren Gold and Frank Simes.

Townshed confirmed they are still connected to their fans after playing 40 years together.

He said: "There is a new audience that comes to it for obvious reasons. It is a story about the travails of being young.

"But also there is a poignancy that we get from the older fans of Quadrophenia, people that could be our age or even a little younger - or sometimes even a little older - who reconnect with Quadrophenia without there being nostalgia."
