The Who has announced their first UK tour in six years, with a special guest set to join them at most of their upcoming gigs. This will be the band’s first show in Edinburgh for over 40 years and their first show in Derby since 1966.

Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey and band will be performing music from throughout the band’s nearly 60-year career, including sections devoted to classic albums Tommy and Quadrophenia as well as other beloved Who tracks and songs from their 2019 WHO album, their first studio release in 13 years. On the upcoming tour, they will be joined by UB40 featuring Ali Campbell for most of the dates.

Performing with The Who and an orchestra had been a long-held ambition for singer Roger Daltrey. The musician said: “Having not toured the UK for six years it’s great that at this time of our careers we have the chance to go to places that are not on the usual touring map Edinburgh Castle and Derby as well as the other cities across the country that we haven’t been to for decades will make this very special for me. This opportunity will give our UK Who fans the chance to hear our current show which with the addition of an orchestra takes our music to new heights.”
