The Who, one of rock’s most legendary and defining bands, will celebrate their 50-year legacy when they bring their “THE WHO HITS 50!” tour to North America in 2015. The tour will include special guests: 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Joan Jett & The Blackhearts.

"Having Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, a great American rock band, support us on our North American dates will ensure concert-goers a full night of entertainment.  I love her,” said Roger Daltrey.

Set lists on these shows will take  their audience on an “Amazing Journey” through THE WHO’s entire career, from the band’s early days to classic albums including “Who’s Next,” “Tommy,” “Quadrophenia,” “My Generation,” and “Live at Leeds,” through the present day.

The classic songs fans can expect to hear on “THE WHO HITS 50!” tour will appear on the band’s WHO HITS 50! collection. This definitive collection of THE WHO’s greatest tracks--from their very first recordings as The High Numbers right up to the present day with the brand new track “Be Lucky”--is being released to coincide with the band’s 50th anniversary tour.

The show--described by Pete Townshend as--“Hits, Picks, Mixes and Misses” will see the band play all their classic anthems as well as tackling deeper cuts from their catalog. “This is the beginning of the long goodbye,” says Roger Daltrey of the upcoming tour.

Pete Townshend commented, “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.”
