Tickets go on sale on Friday July 4 priced €69.50 and £59.50 respectively.
It’s a no nonsense, maximum R+B show with ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’, ‘My Generation’, ‘Baba O’Riley’, ‘Who Are You’, ‘I Can’t Explain’, ‘Pinball Wizard’ and ‘Behind Blue Eyes’ all promised.
The tour is described by Roger Daltrey as “the beginning of the long goodbye” with Pete Townshend adding jokingly that they’re “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.”
He’s not so sure though about the Golden Anniversary aspect.
“If I had enough hairs to split I would say that for thirteen years since 1964 The Who didn't really exist, so we are really only thirty-seven!” the guitarist maintains.
