Roger Daltrey Adds London Date
But three UK dates are also cancelled
Daltrey has added another LONDON INDIGO2 show to his schedule on 24 July.
However, dates in ALCESTER, HARROGATE and EXETER have been cancelled (no explanation has been given, but full refunds are available at the point of purchase).
Daltrey will take TOMMY on the road for a three week tour in July after premiering it at the Royal Albert Hall for Teenage Cancer Trust earlier this year.
As per the Albert Hall show, the UK dates will feature stunning visuals as well as the whole of The Who's rock opera - which the band never actually performed in its entirety. Daltrey will also be playing Who and solo classics at each show.
Roger describes the show and visuals as "A Tommy Show for today's audience from a different perspective."
"Tommy, an album that tells a story about a "deaf, dumb, and blind boy" who becomes the leader of a messianic movement, will always be seen as a turning point for the band," adds Daltrey. "Within it, I found the new voice of The Who and the band found its stride in making that music, adjusting it, using all that knowledge that we had from jazz and the blues into making it work in a rock way."
Commenting on the tour, bandmate Pete Townshend 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."
