The Who farewell tour for US and Canada: List of 2025 cities, dates, ticket info
The farewell tour is appropriately named after The Who’s 1971 classic “The Song Is Over.”
WASHINGTON — Legendary rock band The Who have officially announced their North American Farewell Tour, marking the end of their six-decade career of live performances across the continent.
Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend made the announcement at a press conference Thursday in London.
As Rolling Stone noted, this won’t be the group’s first farewell tour. The band launched one back in 1982, but Townshend was 37 back then and Daltrey was 38. More than four decades later, Townshend will turn 80 this month and Daltrey is 81.
The farewell tour is appropriately named after The Who’s 1971 classic “The Song Is Over” from their critically acclaimed album “Who’s Next.”
“Well, all good things must come to an end,” Townshend said in a press release. “It is a poignant time. For me, playing to American audiences and those in Canada has always been incredible. The warmth and engagement of those audiences began back in 1967 with hippies smoking dope, sitting on their blankets and listening deeply and intensely. Music was everywhere. We all felt equal.”
According to the band’s website, the farewell tour will feature the band performing hit songs from across their extensive catalog.
