New North American tour dates for The Who

The Who have announced a new tour for 2022, THE WHO HITS BACK! The iconic band’s upcoming North American trek brings singer Roger Daltrey and guitarist/songwriter Pete Townshend back to U.S. venues two years after their acclaimed MOVING ON! Tour. 

THE WHO HITS BACK! Tour (see complete list of dates below) will again share the stage with orchestras in the U.S. and Canada. Tickets go on sale to the public beginning Friday, February 11 at 10 a.m. PT at LiveNation.comAmerican Express® Card Members can purchase tickets in select markets before the general public now through Thursday, February 10 at 10 p.m. PT. The Who’s fan club presale runs now through Thursday, February 10 at 10 p.m. PT.

The Who are hitting most of the cities they were set to play in 2020 with multiple new stops. The touring musicians include guitarist/backup singer Simon Townshend, keyboardist Loren Gold, second keyboardist Emily Marshall, bassist Jon Button, drummer Zak Starkey and backing vocals by Billy Nicholls along with orchestra conductor Keith Levenson, lead violinist Katie Jacoby and lead cellist Audrey Snyder, delivering THE WHO’s many classics, as well as songs from their most recent album, titled WHO.

Commenting on The Who Hits Back! Tour, Roger Daltrey says, “Pete and I said we’d be back, but we didn't think we'd have to wait for two years for the privilege. This is making the chance to perform feel even more special this time around. So many livelihoods have been impacted due to COVID, so we are thrilled to get everyone back together - the band, the crew and the fans. We’re gearing up for a great show that hits back in the only way The Who know how. By giving it everything we got."

The Who’s successful 2019 MOVING ON! Tour ran through 29 cities, including a sold-out show in Boston’s historic Fenway Park, and a Seattle show where Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder joined them onstage for a rousing version of “The Punk And the Godfather.”
