The who tour6/12/2023 Under the guidance of Pete Meaden, the band briefly changed their name to The High Numbers, releasing one single, I’m The Face, which was a commercial flop. Just as the band were lining up sessions for their debut album, drummer Doug Sandom quit, to be replaced by The Beachcombers’ stickman Keith Moon. The band quickly honed their ferocious take on classic rhythm and blues, switching their moniker to the somewhat confusing-yet-memorable The Who. Townshend followed his friend into the band and when roles were reshuffled, ended up as lead guitarist with Daltrey as frontman. Entwistle joined a rock band called The Detours, who featured one Roger Daltrey on guitar. The band’s earliest incarnation came when bassist Roger Entwistle and guitarist Pete Townshend met at school in West London, playing trumpet and banjo, respectively, in a Dixieland jazz band. From a core element of the British Invasion to mod pioneers to arena rock giants, The Who have made each transition look natural and incredibly easy, all the while cementing their reputations as phenomenal musicians and songwriters.

This opportunity will give our UK Who fans the chance to hear our current show, which, with the addition of an orchestra, takes our music to new heights.”Īdds Townshend: “Roger initially christened this tour with an orchestra ‘Moving On!’ I love it. Says Daltrey: “Having not toured the UK for six years, it’s great that at this time of our careers we have the chance to go to places that are not on the usual touring map Edinburgh Castle and Derby, as well as the other cities across the country that we haven’t been to for decades, will make this very special for me.

The tour will be preceded by the March 31 release of The Who With Orchestra Live At Wembley, recorded at their July 2019 show at Wembley Stadium, itself their first appearance there in 40 years.
