The Who are going back on the road. Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend announced that they’ll be going on a major North American arena tour where they’ll perform songs from their iconic 1973 album Quadrophenia as well as other Who classics. They also announced that they’ll be performing at the Olympic Games in London.
The Who will embark on a US tour starting November 1, 2012 at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida. Daltrey and Townshend will be joined by Zak Starkey (drums), Pino Palladino (bass), Simon Townshend (guitar/backing vocals), Chris Stainton (keyboards), Loren Gold (keyboards/backing vocals) and Frank Simes (musical director, keyboards/backing vocals). Their lengthy tour includes stops in North Carolina, New York, New Jersey, Chicago, California, Nevada and Colorado, among many others.
This tour will be the first for the band in four years. Daltrey revealed that the “Tupac” idea of creating holographic images of deceased band members Keith Moon and John Entwistle did occur to them, but they decided to pass on it because it would have been too expensive and ‘gimmicky.’
The band will also make a stop in London for the Olympic Games, which run from July 27 to August 12. Daltrey said that the band recorded a piece of music that is “a fabulous ending for the Olympics and just shows the great music that has come out of this country.”
