The O2

Due to an overwhelming demand, an extra night has been added at indigO2 on Sunday 24 July!

SET TO ALSO INCLUDE A VARIETY OF THE WHO’S CLASSICS AND MORE!

ROGER DALTREY, the iconic lead singer of The Who, will now be performing The Who’s legendary rock opera TOMMY from start to finish for a second night in London at The IndigoO2.

Due to demand Daltrey will now be performing on the 24 July as well as the existing date on July 21.

Daltrey premiered the show at The Royal Albert Hall in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust earlier in the year and is now taking it on the road. Beyond the majesty of TOMMY, each night music fans will also be treated to a variety of Who Classics and more.

TOMMY is not only one of the most acclaimed and defining works of the rock era, it is an enduring album that resonates on radio to this day where it has found multi-generational appeal.

Inducted into The Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998, the 20 million-selling double album also spawned a successful 1975 film of the same name--with DALTREY playing the title role--which re-underlined its place in the cultural firmament.
 
Rock And Roll Hall of Fame inductee DALTREY is pulling out all the stops with a full backing band that will bring the rock opera’s wide-ranging sounds and textures to life vibrantly on stage every evening.

Joining DALTREY will be Frank Simes (guitar), Scott Deavours (drums) Jon Button (Bass) Loren Gold (Keyboards) and also on guitar will be SIMON TOWNSHEND, younger brother of The Who’s guitarist PETE TOWNSHEND

Who guitarist and songwriter PETE TOWNSHEND commenting on the tour says; "Great to see Roger performing TOMMY with his band in 2011. I will be there in spirit, and Roger has my complete and most loving support. Roger is touring his unique concert version of TOMMY using his faithful presentation of the original work as the backbone for a set of  wider material ...it is wonderful to hear the way Roger and his new band re-interpret the old Who songs.''
 
Throughout this tour, songs such as 'Pinball Wizard', 'The Acid Queen', 'I’m Free', 'See Me, Feel Me' and 'We’re Not Gonna Take It' promise to transport attendees into the world of this classic album with shuddering intensity and poetic power. 
 
A 1989 tour by The Who saw them reprise TOMMY live; the upcoming DALTREY tour will differ in that all of the album’s songs will be played.
