Legendary rockers the Who announce North American farewell tour
Published in Entertainment News
SAN JOSE, Calif. — The Who is finally calling it quits.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame act has announced dates for The Song Is Over, its North American farewell tour.
In Northern California, the tour (named after the Who’s classic 1971 song) touches down Sept. 21 at Shoreline Amphitheatre at Mountain View. Down south, the group — featuring vocalist Roger Daltrey and guitarist Pete Townshend — performs Sept. 17 and 19 at the Hollywood Bowl.
“Well, all good things must come to an end,” Townshend said in a news release. “It is a poignant time. For me, playing to American audiences and those in Canada has always been incredible. The warmth and engagement of those audiences began back in 1967 with hippies smoking dope, sitting on their blankets and listening deeply and intensely. Music was everywhere. We all felt equal.
“Today, Roger and I still carry the banner for the late Keith Moon and John Entwistle and of course, all of our longtime Who fans. I must say that although the road has not always been enjoyable for me, it is usually easy: the best job I could ever have had. I keep coming back. Every time I do, I meet new fans and feel new energy. Roger and I are in a good place, despite our age, eager to throw our weight behind this fond farewell to all our faithful fans, and hopefully to new ones who might jump in to see what they have been missing for the last 57 years. This tour will be about fond memories, love and laughter. Make sure you join in.”
The Who farewell tour tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. May 16, thewho.com/tour. There is also a presale for Citi cardholders that runs from 10 a.m. May 13 to 10 p.m. May 15, www.citientertainment.com.
