THE WHO HITS BACK TOUR RESUMES THIS FALL IN CANADA

One of rock’s most enduring iconic forces whose acclaimed live shows continue to draw raves well into their sixth decade, legendary rock band The Who kick off the fall leg of their incredibly successful tour on October 2, in Toronto, Canada. The much-anticipated live trek thunders across the U.S. through the first week of November, adding two new dates: San Jose, CA on October 24, and Phoenix, AZ on October 30. 

Enjoying some of the best reviews of any band currently on the road in 2022, The Who also garnered praise for their poignant and historic show this past May in Cincinnati, OH, their first concert in the city in more than 40 years. The concert proceeds, in excess of $500,000. were donated to the P.E.M. Memorial, the organization that was founded to honor friends and classmates that lost their lives at the December 3, 1979 concert from Finneytown High School. The donation will go towards college scholarships and will be available to all Cincinnati area high schools through the P.E.M. Memorial fund.

Continuing to raise the bar with stellar supporting artists, The Who announce that they will be joined by Mike Campbell and The Dirty Knobs – fronted by lead guitarist/songwriter from Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Mike Campbell will be appearing on most of the dates. Singer/songwriter (and founder of Barenaked Ladies) Steven Page is also slated for multiple shows. British rock bandThe Wild Things will open on the tour’s final two shows in Las Vegas, on November 4 and 5.

The powerhouse band’s upcoming North American fall trek promises to sustain the momentum the band created on the spring leg of the tour. “Daltrey took flight in ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It,’ roaring and howling and whipping his mic cord through the air like he was lassoing cattle…the show was a potent reminder of the timelessness of Townshend’s songs and the Who’s music.” —Dallas Morning News
