The Who Plot Farewell Tour – “The Song is Over”
Legendary British rockers The Who will take a final lap around the globe with “The Song is Over Farewell Tour,” bringing more than six decades of anthems back to arenas, amphitheaters and stadiums beginning this summer.
The run opens July 20 in Padova, Italy, and stretches through a September 28 finale in Las Vegas. Along the way, Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend will headline storied venues including Fenway Park in Boston, Madison Square Garden in New York, two nights at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl and a pair of shows at Toronto’s Budweiser Stage.
“To me, America has always been great. The cultural differences had a huge impact on me, this was the land of the possible,” Daltrey said in the tour announcement.
“It is a poignant time. For me, playing to American audiences and those in Canada has always been incredible,” Townshend added. “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.”
