THE WHO To Appear On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon On March 4th
February 26, 2016, 8 years ago
Just days after they re-launch the North American leg of The Who Hits 50! Tour, The Who will perform Friday, March 4th at 11:35 PM (ET/PT) on NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. This mark's the iconic group's first full band US nighttime talk show performance in nearly 50 years (the last was The Who’s historic 1967 appearance on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour).
The tour kicks off tomorrow (Saturday, February 27th) in Detroit, MI. This marks the beginning of a 28-date tour of rescheduled dates from the band’s 2015 trek - which was postponed to allow lead singer Roger Daltrey time to recover from his recent bout with viral meningitis - and includes stops in Toronto, New York, Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles, before wrapping Sunday, May 29th in Las Vegas. Tickets for the originally scheduled shows will be honored at the new dates.
For the tour openers, the band has set Tal Wilkenfeld to perform on the first 13 shows, with Slydigs to accompany them on the remaining dates. In addition, 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Joan Jett & The Blackhearts (who accompanied The Who on the first leg of this tour) will perform as special guests at the Thursday, March 3rd show at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
