The Who Postpone UK Tour Until Next Year

(Classic Rock) The Who have postponed their upcoming UK tour. The five dates were due to take place in late August and early September - but they'll now happen in April 2017.

The band say they've shifted the performances to coincide with two new dates at London's Royal Albert Hall, which will see them play a new acoustic presentation of Tommy.

The London dates have been set up to benefit Teenage Cancer Trust, of which frontman Roger Daltrey is an honorary patron and will take place on March 30 and April 1, 2017.

The rescheduled UK dates, which were billed as a Greatest Hits package, will now feature "some lesser known Who songs and include a new focused presentation of Tommy drawn from the Royal Albert Hall concerts - including a brand new video program specially produced for these shows."
