The Who have announced they will play two dates in Ireland this November as part of their 50th anniversary tour.
The iconic band will kick off their The Who Hits 50 tour with a show at the O2 in Dublin on November 26th and the Odyssey Arena in Belfast on November 28th, with the tour being described by Roger Daltrey as "the beginning of the long goodbye".
It's believed that the shows will chart the band's entire career from the days of The High Numbers to classic albums such as Who's Next, Tommy, Quadrophenia, My Generation, Live At Leeds and up to the present day.
“Trying to stay young. Not wearing socks. Growing a great big woodcutter’s beard. Might even wear a check shirt on stage and get a tattoo of a Union Jack. Always a fashion victim. But under no illusions. We are what we are, and extremely good at it, but we’re lucky to be alive and still touring. If I had enough hairs to split, I would say that for thirteen years since 1964 The Who didn’t really exist, so we are really only thirty-seven,” said Pete Townshend.
