The Who Hits 50! Tour

Following a run of U.K. gigs in November, the U.S./Canadian trek launches in April in Tampa, Fla. The Who is sharing the love with the East and West coast as well as a handful of gigs in the provinces.

Pete Townshend has described the setlist for the tour as “all the hits, picks, mixes and misses.”

To coincide with the big 5-0 milestone, the group is releasing The Who Hits 50! on Oct. 27 via Geffen/Universal Enterprises (UMe). The collection of tunes is made up of a selection of  The Who’s greatest tracks, from their first recordings as The High Numbers to the brand new song “Be Lucky.”
