The Who Tickets

The Who are still a musical force to be reckoned with and The Who concert tickets going onsale in 2008 are probably the strongest evidence in years that this band are not quite done yet. The Who tour schedule is taking shape very nicely and founding members Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey will hit the ground running with their long-standing The Who lineup of the past several years; Beatles drummer Ringo's son, Zak Starkey, is pounding the skins; Townsend's younger brother Simon plays guitar; Pino Palladino is on bass and John Bundrick is on keyboard. The Who tickets are right up there with the likes of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones tickets, but for many the Who are the band that rewrote the book on credibility.

From their wild beginnings, when they smashed their instruments to pieces onstage (a gimmick copied by Jimi Hendrix among others) to their cult albums, films and rock operas, The Who have consistently demonstrated originality in an unoriginal music world. Refusing to simply churn out any old rubbish, they have remained entrenched in an Old School groove which has seen little in the way of studio releases since the album It's Hard in 1982. 2006's Endless Wire was the first thing we saw from The Who since then, making The Who 2008 concert tour not be missed!

The Who were arguably the Greatest Rock and Roll Band of All Time.

The Who created a culture of loud, electric, uninhibited rock and roll that would later become clichéd because so many bands after them would follow in Pete Townshend et al.'s erratic footsteps.

Best known for pioneering musical styles such as the rock opera, the power chord, and just plain high volume sound, The Who were serious rock stars in an age of big bands and Elvis. From My Generation and Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere to Long Live Rock and The Real Me, The Who made some of the most popular rock songs in history.

In their groundbreaking rock opera, Tommy, The Who told the story of a young boy's spiritual journey and dramatic life. The intensity and absurdity of the titular character's experiences mirror the intensity and absurdity of The Who's stage performances. The lyrics to Welcome in Tommy echo the hyperbolic attitudes of the band in their earlier years, "We need more room/ Build an extension/ A colourful palace/ Spare no expense now."
