The Who have announced a UK arena tour in celebration of their 50th anniversary. For the full list of dates and ticket information, see below.
Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend will play nine shows in November and December which Daltrey has dubbed "the beginning of a long goodbye". The Who Hits 50 tour will play stops in London, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester and more.

Adding the set list will feature "hits, picks and misses", bandmate Pete Townshend described how he felt about touring at the age of 69. "Trying to stay young. Not wearing socks. Growing a great big Woodcutter's beard," he responded. "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 13 years since 1964 The Who didn’t really exist, so we are really only 37."
