THE WHO ANNOUNCE 2019 NORTH AMERICAN MOVING ON! TOUR

29 DATES SET FOR SUMMER AND AUTUMN LIVE TREKS

ICONIC BAND ALSO SET TO RELEASE THEIR FIRST ALBUM OF NEW SONGS IN THIRTEEN YEARS

The band will share the stage with orchestras at marquee venues including Fenway Park, Madison Square Garden and Hollywood Bowl

For Who fans everywhere, the announcement of a brand new tour means only one thing: the world’s most untameable rock band is about to deliver the goods once again. Never ones for nostalgia, singer Roger Daltrey and guitarist and songwriter Pete Townshend will be unleashing the combustible force that is The Who, with symphonic accompaniment this summer and fall in 2019.

The World's Greatest Rock Band keeps on going. They rock harder in their 70s than most 20-year olds.

Do 20 year olds rock anymore? It's been my impression that rock music pretty much died out after the '90s and the aging of the grunge bands. The young men who once were the core of rock music fandom moved on to rap.

I'm glad fans of Townsend and Daltrey will get to see them live once more. I once got to see The Who as a kid in the '70s, and I'll stick with that great memory.

Moon is the guy who gave that band its name, yes? He commented “That’ll go over like a lead Zeppelin” after hearing them play, the story goes.

Never mind Robert Plant ripping off his look from Daltrey anyhow.

But he doesn’t have the pipes he used to.

Then again, “who” does?

Even Country Music has fallen into a bad state.

The Who was just about the greatest rock band of the mid 60's,as were the Stones.I would have loved to see them back then.I still listen to their great stuff from that era.

But I have literally no interest seeing them...or hearing them...today.

None!

I saw a bumper sticker that read “I may be old but at least I saw the cool bands.”

Paul Rodgers still sounds damn good today.

One of the best shows I ever saw.
Couldn’t hear normally for 3 days.

Plant in the early days pretty much was doing an imitation of Janis Joplin.

No kidding? I hadn’t heard that about Rat Scabies. My ex is pretty good friends with him - when she was in Scotland. He’s a Templar Knight. Does research on Rennes le Chateau etc
