Rock legends Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend will be gracing the North East this summer as the Who comes to County Durham - here’s how to get tickets and everything you need to know.
The duo will be at the Seat Unique Riverside, Chester-le-Street on July 19 with a full orchestra and support from UB40 featuring Ali Campbell.
The Who Hits Back tour, from July 6-23, includes gigs at Hull, Edinburgh, London, Derby, Badminton, St Helens and Brighton.
They will be performing music from throughout the band’s incredible back catalogue spanning almost 60 years, 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.

The gigs follow last year’s highly acclaimed ‘The Who Hits Back’ tour of the US, where the band shared the stage with some of the finest orchestras in America.
The 2023 UK tour will feature The Who’s full live band comprised of guitarist/backup singer Simon Townshend, keyboardist Loren Gold, second keyboardist Emily Marshall, bassist Jon Button, drummer Zak Starkey and backing vocals by Billy Nicholls, along with orchestra conductor Keith Levenson, lead violinist Katie Jacoby and lead cellist Audrey Snyder.
