The Who have revealed a powerful lineup of special guests set to join them on their final North American run, The Song Is Over Tour.
Artists including Billy Bob Thornton and The Boxmasters, Billy Idol, Booker T. Jones, Candlebox, Feist, Joe Bonamassa, The Joe Perry Project (Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Buck Johnson, Chris Robinson, Robert DeLeo and Eric Kretz), Tom Cochrane, and ZZ Ward are due to appear across various stops on the farewell tour.
Additionally, The Who have added a second night in Chicago — Tuesday, September 9th at United Center — due to incredible fan demand. Bonamassa will support both Chicago dates.
The Song Is Over Tour marks a bittersweet goodbye for one of rock’s most enduring and influential acts, celebrating nearly six decades of groundbreaking music. Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend announced the tour during a press conference from London’s Iconic Images gallery, where they also unveiled a rare piece of memorabilia: the American football helmet from their 1974 album Odds & Sods from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Tickets for the newly added Chicago show will be available starting with a Citi pre-sale and through The Who Fan Club beginning on May 20th. Additional pre-sales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning on May 23rd at 10 AM local time at thewho.com/tour. All other shows are on sale now at thewho.com/tour.
The tour kicks off on August 16th at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, with Billy Bob Thornton and The Boxmasters.
