The Who will kick-off a North American tour this April, returning to the U.S. and Canada for The Who Hits Back! tour.   Some shows were originally meant to take place in 2019; however, frontman Roger Daltrey needed to undergo a throat operation at the time, forcing the postponement.

The new tour will take place between April/May, and October/November, and will see the legendary rockers joined by local orchestras at each stop. Pete Townshend spoke to Rolling Stone about the tour, saying: “Roger is of the opinion that he wants to sing until he drops. That’s not my philosophy of life. There are other things that I want to do, still want to do, and will do, I hope. I hope I’ll live long enough to do them. But it’s not a farewell tour. Apart from anything else, we still have people who have tickets for the UK 2019 tour. We’re very, very keen to do that tour and we’ll be doing that tour in 2023, I think. But I’m talking about stuff I don’t really know about. I don’t have any guarantees, like everybody else. I don’t really know for sure what’s going to happen next month.”

Tickets go on sale on Friday, February 11 at 10am local time – here.
