DENVER — Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend are bringing The Who back to Colorado later this year.
"The Who Hits Back" tour, announced Monday, is scheduled to visit dozens of North American venues in spring and fall 2022.
The tour will make a Denver stop at Ball Arena on Oct. 17, 2022.
"Pete and I said we’d be back, but we didn't think we'd have to wait for two years for the privilege," said singer Roger Daltrey. "This is making the chance to perform feel even more special this time around. So many livelihoods have been impacted due to Covid, so we are thrilled to get everyone back together - the band, the crew and the fans. We’re gearing up for a great show that hits back in the only way The Who know how. By giving it everything we got."
The new tour will feature The Who's full live band comprised of guitarist/backup singer Simon Townshend, keyboardist Loren Gold, second keyboardist Emily Marshall, bassist Jon Button, drummer Zak Starkey and backing vocals by Billy Nicholls along with orchestra conductor Keith Levenson, lead violinist Katie Jacoby and lead cellist Audrey Snyder.
