Roger Daltrey commented:

“Having not toured the U.K. for six years, it’s great that at this time of our careers we have the chance to go to places that are not on the usual touring map Edinburgh Castle and Derby, as well as the other cities across the country that we haven’t been to for decades, will make this very special for me. This opportunity will give our U.K. WHO fans the chance to hear our current show, which, with the addition of an orchestra, takes our music to new heights.”

Simon Townshend added:

“Roger initially christened this tour with an orchestra ‘Moving On!’ I love it. It is what both of us want to do. Move on, with new music, classic WHO music, all performed in new and exciting ways. Taking risks, nothing to lose. I’m really looking forward to bringing this show to the U.K.”

In other news, The Who will also be releasing their July 2019 orchestral show at Wembley Stadium as a new live album titled “The Who With Orchestra Live At Wembley.” The effort will be available on March 31 in the following formats: limited edition yellow, orange and red 3LP set, triple black vinyl set, and 2CD / Blu-ray set.
