The Who have announced details of a UK and Ireland arena tour during which they will perform their classic album ‘Quadrophenia’ in full.

The band will also play a selection of their other classics during the 10-date tour, which kicks off in Dublin on June 8 and wraps up in Liverpool on June 30. Tickets go on sale this Friday (February 1) at 9am.

The band begin a second US leg of their ‘Quadrophenia And More’ tour in Anaheim, California later today (January 28). Directed by Roger Daltrey, the show features a full performance of their 1973 double album ‘Quadrophenia’ accompanied by “powerful imagery projected on an array of massive screens”. According to the band’s press release, this imagery is “designed to support, complement and propel the musical content of the work by setting it in the context of the history of the band”.
