London rock legends The Who took to the road on their Hits Back tour. The tour kicked off on April 22nd in Hollywood, Florida and wraps up on May 28th in Bethel, New York. The Who will take off the summer before going back on the road in October.
The Who’s current lineup consists of original members Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend. Accompanying Daltrey and Townsend on tour with is Zack Starkey on drums, Simon Townshend on guitars, Loren Good on keyboards and Jon Button on bass.
On May 20, The Who made a stop to the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Fans packed the Philly arena to see The Who perform while accompanied by a full orchestra.
For over 2 hours, The Who showed why they are one of the best rock bands ever. With Daltrey & Townsend in their 70s it’s amazing to see them outperform those half their age.
