Roger Daltrey, lead singer and founding member of The Who, is set to tour North America. On this tour, Daltrey will be performing The Who’s album Tommy from start to finish.
Along with the entirety of Tommy, which has never been played completely, Daltrey will also be playing a wide variety of Who classics.
The six week tour is set to kick off in Hollywood, Florida on September 13th and conclude on November 2nd at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg, MB.
Pete Townshend, guitarist for The Who, commented: “Great to see Roger performing TOMMY with his band in 2011. I will be there in spirit. Roger has my complete and most loving support. Roger is touring his unique concert version of TOMMY using his faithful presentation of the original work as the backbone for a set of wider material. It is wonderful to hear the way Roger and his new band re-interpret the old Who songs.”
