The Who Announce 2013 Quadrophenia & More UK Tour
Keen anticipation for The Who’s UK tour of ‘Quadrophenia and More’ which was announced yesterday, is growing, with tickets being snapped up by fans in the current Pre-sale. This is not surprising, since the band’s current tour of North America has received rave reviews, confirming that The Who are on top form and have created visuals and staging to deliver what is probably the definitive arena version of Quadrophenia.
“Some fans surely groaned when they learned the Who were trying it (Quadrophenia) yet again on their 2012 tour,” writes Rolling Stone, “but after nearly 40 years, the band finally got it right.”
The tour announcement was reported last night on UK BBC TV News, featuring part of an interview with Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend by reporter David Willis.
The Who will be playing 10 shows in the UK and Ireland, plus shows in Paris and Amsterdam, in June and early July.
