The Who Reschedules

“The Who Hits 50!” North American tour will now stay on the road through December, thanks to a handful of dates that were postponed because of Roger Daltrey’s swollen vocal cords.

The band finished the spring leg of its anniversary outing with a May 30 gig in Forest Hills, N.Y. Daltrey and Pete Townshend will be back on the road to kick off the fall portion of the trek Sept. 14 in San Diego.

The Who was forced to call off gigs in Louisville, Ky.; St. Louis and Kansas City, Mo., in May so Daltrey could remain on vocal rest. The shows will now take place Dec. 4 at Louisville’s KFC Yum! Center, Dec. 6 at St. Louis’ Scottrade Center and Dec. 8 at Kansas City’s Sprint Center.  

Two nights of the fall tour have also been moved based on a doctor’s recommendation so Daltrey can have additional time off between gigs for vocal rest. Originally scheduled Sept. 23, The Who’s Oakland, Calif., show at the Oracle Arena is set for Dec. 13. And instead of spending two nights at Toronto’s Air Canada Center in October, the Oct. 21 gig has been rescheduled for Dec. 2.
