The Who have confirmed a tour of the UK and Europe starting in August.

It’ll be their first tour on their home turf since appearing at the British Summer Time and Glastonbury festivals in 2015. Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend and co were also recently confirmed for this year’s Isle Of Wight Festival in June.

The band are currently delivering the remainder of their The Who Hits 50 US tour dates, which were postponed from last year after frontman Daltrey was diagnosed with viral meningitis. After announced rescheduled dates, he vowed the veteran outfit would return “stronger than ever.”

The latest tour is entitled Back To The Who. Tickets go on general sale at 9am on May 6 (Friday) and on May 5 in Germany.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
