The Who announces Durham date on first UK tour in six years

Rock legends The Who will be back on tour this summer, with their big comeback set to include a Durham date among cities they haven't played for decades.

Announcing the new UK tour this Monday morning, front man Roger Daltrey says hitting the road again - visiting just eight specially-chosen locations - will be 'very special for me' as it will include cities the band has not visited for decades.

Tickets will go on sale this Friday for the July tour, complete with full orchestra each night and support from UB40, which will bring them to Durham's Seat Unique Riverside ground in Chester-le-Street. It is the first in six years for the band led by Daltrey and Pete Townshend who will be performing music from across their near-60-year career, including sections devoted to classic albums Tommy and Quadrophenia alongside tracks from their 2019 studio album - their first in 13 years.
