“Where is The Who playing next on their farewell tour?” That’s the question rock fans are asking, and I’ve got the scoop. The band’s 16-city “The Song Is Over” North American Farewell Tour launched on August 16 in Sunrise, FL, and rounds off on September 28 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Vegas
Here’s what’s still on the calendar for September:
- Sept 7–9: United Center, Chicago
- Sept 17 & 19: Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles
- Sept 21: Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View (Bay Area)
- Sept 23: Rogers Arena, Vancouver
- Sept 25: Climate Pledge Arena, Seattle
- Sept 28: MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas
Noticeably missing? Texas, no Houston or Dallas stops this time.
How Are Daltrey and Townshend Holding Up?
Another big voice search question is, “Is Roger Daltrey healthy enough to finish the farewell tour?” At 81, Daltrey has been open about battling lingering health concerns from meningitis, along with hearing and vision issues. Still, he and Pete Townshend are powering through with the energy of performers half their age, delivering every note, every guitar windmill, every mic swing like it’s 1975.
Why the Buzz Is So Strong
The phrase North American Farewell Tour is dominating search interest because fans know they may never have another chance to see one of rock’s most influential duos live. It’s not just classic rock news—it’s the closing chapter for one of the greatest classic rock artists to ever step on stage.
Final Thoughts
From operatic ballads to hard-driving anthems, The Who’s farewell run proves they still have that live-wire magic. If you’ve ever dreamed of hearing “Baba O’Riley” or “Won’t Get Fooled Again” reverberate through a packed arena, now’s the time. When the curtain falls in Vegas, it won’t just be the end of a tour, it’ll be the end of an era.
