The Who wound up their The Who Hits Back! tour of the US in November last year having wowed audiences in over 30 cities, with media and fans agreeing that the band were as good as, if not better than ever and that the orchestral arrangements, most of which were done by the legendary David Campbell, brought a new depth and excitement to Pete Townshend’s music.

The gigs follow last year’s highly acclaimed The Who Hits Back! Tour of the US, where the band shared the with some of the finest orchestras in America. The 2023 UK shows include Edinburgh Castle, the band’s first show in the Scottish capital in over 40 years as well as shows in Derby, their first since 1966, The O2 London, Durham and Brighton Cricket grounds. ![]()
