Legends return - electrifying as ever!
Get ready for a rock 'n' roll extravaganza as The Who embark on their latest tour, and they're making a stop at the beautiful Badminton Estate this July, just outside of Bristol. With a career spanning over 50 years, The Who has solidified their place as one of the greatest rock legacies in music history.
Formed in the mid-1960s, The Who burst onto the scene with a bold and electrifying style that revolutionized rock music. Their raw energy and heartfelt storytelling captivated audiences worldwide, establishing a fiercely loyal fan base. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, The Who's discography boasts a staggering 27 top-forty singles and 17 top ten albums.
The UK tour promises to be a spectacular experience as The Who will be accompanied by a full orchestra at each performance. Joining them on stage will be the renowned UB40. Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, and the band will treat fans to a journey through their nearly 60-year career, featuring iconic albums like "Tommy" and "Quadrophenia," along with hits from their latest studio release, "WHO."
Last year's "The Who Hits Back" tour in the US received widespread acclaim, and the addition of orchestral arrangements brought a new depth and excitement to Pete Townshend's music.
For lead singer Roger Daltrey, touring the UK after six years holds a special significance. The band's decision to visit cities beyond the usual touring circuit, including Edinburgh Castle and Derby, allows them to connect with fans in places they haven't visited in decades.
Pete Townshend, equally enthusiastic about the tour, emphasizes the desire to "move on" and explore new musical territories while paying homage to the classic hits that made The Who legendary. The show promises to be a thrilling combination of fresh and innovative renditions of their timeless classics.
In a heartwarming twist, The Who is calling upon fans to support the Teenage Cancer Trust by adding an optional £1 donation to their ticket purchase. Both Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey have long been supporters of this noble cause, with Roger playing a pivotal role in organizing Teenage Cancer Trust's Royal Albert Hall concerts since their inception in 2000.
Get ready to rock out and be a part of music history as The Who delivers an unforgettable performance at Badminton Estate. This is an opportunity you don't want to miss. The Who performs at Badminton on the 16th of July.
