The Who

Description

Legendary rock band The Who visit The Incora County Ground on Friday 14th July, as part of their UK 2023 tour ‘The Who Hits Back!’ with a live orchestra.

Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey and band will be performing music from throughout the band’s nearly 60-year career, including sections devoted to classic albums Tommy & Quadrophenia as well as other beloved Who tracks and songs from their 2019 WHO album, their first studio release in 13 years.

The Incora County Ground is one of the premiere live event venues in Derby, having hosted the likes of Elton John, Michael Buble and Little Mix in recent years.

The 2023 UK tour will feature THE WHO’s full live band comprised of guitarist/backup singer Simon Townshend, keyboardist Loren Gold, second keyboardist Emily Marshall, bassist Jon Button, drummer Zak Starkey and backing vocals by Billy Nicholls, along with orchestra conductor Keith Levenson, lead violinist Katie Jacoby and lead cellist Audrey Snyder. They will also be joined by UB40, whose back catalogue boasts songs such as Red Red Wine and Kingston Town.

The Who wound up their Who Hits Back tour of the US in November last year having wowed audiences in over thirty cities, with media and fans agreeing that the band were as good as, if not better than ever and that the orchestral arrangements, most of which were done by the legendary David Campbell, brought a new depth and excitement to Pete Townshend’s music.
