Pete Townshend on playing Hyde Park, “It’s a good gig. You draw from all over the country, but a London crowd is always a good crowd. It’s a Royal Park so thank you, your majesty; you can’t play it without her permission.”

Since forming in 1964, The Who have sold over 100 million records to date and have become the most famous proponents of Mod culture. Described by critics as “a stirring, moving and memorable farewell” and “as thrilling as you could hope for,” The Who’s final world tour is one not to be missed. Joining Daltrey and Townshend onstage for this exciting performance are Simon Townshend (guitar, mandolin, backing vocals), Pino Palladino (bass), Zak Starkey (drums), John Corey (keyboards, backing vocals), Loren Gold (keyboards, backing vocals) and Frank Simes (musical director, keyboards, backing vocals, assorted instruments). This performance comes as The Who prepares to launch the second leg of their “The Who Hits 50!” North American tour, which kicks off in the middle of September and concludes in mid-December.

John Rubey, Fathom Events CEO, said, “This October, moviegoers will get a special opportunity to experience a historic, show-stopping performance from one of the most iconic bands in music history. Along with our partners at Arts Alliance, we are thrilled to bring The Who’s 50-year celebration to fans across the U.S.”
