(Picture: David Jensen / PA)The Who have announced a nine-date UK tour this summer – their first tour of the country in six years.
The band will be backed by a full orchestra, and will perform music from across their nearly 60-year career.
It follows last year’s highly acclaimed The Who Hits Back tour of the US.
Frontman Roger Daltrey said: “Having not toured the UK for six years, it’s great that at this time of our careers we have the chance to go to places that are not on the usual touring map, Edinburgh Castle and Derby, as well as the other cities across the country that we haven’t been to for decades, will make this very special for me.
“This opportunity will give our UK Who fans the chance to hear our current show which, with the addition of an orchestra, takes our music to new heights.”
Certain dates will be joined by UB40 featuring Ali Campbell.
