Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs, Leslie Mendelson, Los Lonely Boys, and others will guest
The Who have announced an exciting line-up of special guests to join them on The Who Hits Back! Tour. The classic group has raised the bar once again on their incredible legacy by inviting a wide range of special guest artists to join on the tour. Texas rockers Los Lonely Boys, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell and The Dirty Knobs, singer/songwriter Leslie Mendelson, female led British rockers The Wild Things, Americana soul singer Amythyst Kiah, singer/songwriter and Barenaked Ladies co-founder Steven Page, and Willie Nile will support select dates.
The iconic band’s upcoming North American trek promises to be another rock n’ roll knockout, bringing singer Roger Daltrey and guitarist/songwriter Pete Townshend back to US venues two years after their acclaimed Moving On! Tour, who wowed audiences with a series of sold out dates. The Who Hits Back! Tour will again share the stage with some of the finest orchestras in the US and Canada. Produced by Live Nation, the tour kicks off April 22nd in Hollywood, FL at the Hard Rock Live for its spring leg, and returns in the fall on October 2nd in Toronto, ON at Scotiabank Arena.
The Who are hitting most of the cities they were set to play in 2020 with multiple new stops, including shows in New Orleans, LA at the New Orleans Jazz Festival on April 30th, and a much-anticipated performance at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on May 26th. After a summer break, The Who will continue in the fall, including stops in Chicago at United Center on October 12th, and in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Bowl on November 1st. The Who Hits Back! Tour winds down with two shows in Las Vegas on November 4th and 5th at Dolby Live at Park MGM.
The trek 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, passionately delivering the band’s many classics, as well as songs from their most recent album, titled Who.
