“Having not toured the UK for six years it’s great that at this point in our career we have the opportunity to visit places that aren’t on the usual tour map such as Edinburgh Castle and Derby as well as the other cities across the country where we haven’t been in decades is going to make this very special to me. This opportunity gives our UK Who fans the chance to hear our latest show which, with the addition of an orchestra, takes our music to new heights.”
Townshend added, “Roger christened this tour, first with an orchestra, ‘Moving On’! I love not having anything to lose. I’m really looking forward to bringing this show to the UK.”
