2017 Tommy & More is an upcoming Spring 2017 concert tour of the UK by the British band The Who.[1]
Overview
On 23 November 2016, The Who announced that 5 UK dates previously scheduled for August & September 2016, then postponed and rescheduled for April 2017, would include a full live performance of classic album Tommy. The 5-date concert tour was renamed "2017 Tommy & More" for the occasion, the band being announced to play (as well as Tommy) a set of their greatest hits and some lesser known tracks. The tour would mark the first time that the band would play Tommy in full since 1989. The tour would follow two shows at London's Royal Albert Hall on 30 March and 1 April 2017 (initially scheduled as part of the Back to the Who Tour 51!), at which they would also play Tommy in full.[1]
