Rock History on Stage Again
Not many bands have influenced the history of rock like The Who has. The band was formed in the 1960s, and they created a new kind of sound that combined rebellious words, strong vocals, and devastating guitar solos. From their early success with songs like “My Generation” to their rock opera classics like Tommy and Quadrophenia, The Who has never failed to provide a different kind of music experience.
Even now, with original band members Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend leading the way, the band continues to draw large crowds, intertwining nostalgia with incredible musicianship.
