We found shockingly cheap last-minute tickets for The Who's farewell tour
It's time to return to 'Teenage Wasteland' one last time.
Starting Aug. 16, The Who will embark on their nationwide 'The Song Is Over Farewell Tour' with special guests Billy Bob Thornton and The Boxmasters, Billy Idol, Feist, Joe Bonamassa, The Joe Perry Project and others joining them on select dates.

And make no mistake — the 17-show run is the swan song the guitar smashing group will take their 'Magic Bus' for a spin.
'This definitely will be the last tour of the US, that's for sure,' frontman Roger Daltrey, 81, told Pollstar. 'We will not be back touring.'

Roger Daltrey hits out at axed The Who drummer Zak Starkey for ‘incredibly upsetting' remarks after fallout
The Who frontman Roger Daltrey has said that comments made by the axed drummer Zak Starkey after leaving the rock group were 'incredibly upsetting'. Earlier this year, Starkey, the son of Beatles' legend Ringo Starr, was sensationally sacked from the rock band twice in quick succession. The reasons behind the split have been disputed: longtime Who members Daltrey and Pete Townshend have claimed that Starkey made a mistake during their Royal Albert Hall performance in April, while Starkey has claimed that the error was Daltrey's. Later, the band said the drummer had exited the project willingly due to other commitments, but Starkey claimed he had been asked to agree with the statement, and did not want to leave the group. Starkey told The Telegraph that poor planning and under-rehearsal had led to an onstage glitch, which meant Daltrey came in too early when performing 'The Song is Over'. 'What happened was I got it right and Roger got it wrong,' he said. Addressing Starkey's comments, Daltrey told The Times: 'It was kind of a character assassination and it was incredibly upsetting.' Daltrey stated that the dispute began over the band's use of electronic drums, which he hears through in-ear monitors. 'It is controlled by a guy on the side, and we had so much sub-bass on the sound of the drums that I couldn't pitch,' he explained. 'I was pointing to the bass drum and screaming at [Starkey] because it was like flying a plane without seeing the horizon. So when Zak thought I was having a go at him, I wasn't. That's all that happened.' When asked about the back-and-forth between the group, who reinstated Starkey before sacking him again, Daltrey said: 'Pete and I retain the right to be the Who. Everyone else is a session player. 'You can't replace Keith Moon. We wanted to branch out and that's all I want to say about it. But [Starkey's reaction] was crippling to me.' The Independent has contacted Starkey's representative for comment. Following the dispute, Starkey was replaced by Scott Devours. Starkey told The Independent in June that he had been told not to retrieve his drum kit from storage just yet. 'I don't know what the f*** is happening,' he said. 'The thing is, this is The Who, man. The most unpredictable, aggressive, arrogant people, lovely people who are my family, but you never know what's gonna happen, and that's why it's The Who. They have an addiction to friction.'

When does 'Landman' season 2 come out? All about Billy Bob Thornton's return (and the new cast members joining him)
Taylor Sheridan's series about a petroleum landman in West Texas is currently in production for season 2. Paramount+ struck gold (or should we say oil) with Landman. Per the streamer's parent company, Paramount Global, the Texas-set series' pilot has seen a whopping 35 million global streaming viewers since its debut in November 2024. That shouldn't come as much of a surprise. After all, the drama's co-creator is Taylor Sheridan, acclaimed writer and producer behind wildly popular series like Yellowstone, Tulsa King, and Lioness. The series stars Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris, a savvy landman who oversees an oil patch for tycoon Monty Miller (Jon Hamm). As co-creator Christian Wallace told Entertainment Weekly ahead of the show's premiere, what makes Landman unique is that, unlike predecessors like Dallas, it aims to depict "both the working class and the white-collar world" of the oil industry. Season 1 wrapped back in January, and fans are clamoring to return to its West Texas oilfields. So, will there be a second season of Landman? When does it premiere? And what will it be about? Read on as we answer those questions and more. Here's everything we know about Landman season 2. Will there be a Landman season 2? Yes, Landman was renewed for a second season in March 2025, with Paramount touting it as the most popular original series to debut on the streamer. Prior to the renewal, Thornton expressed his hope to EW for a second season. "I had a fun time on this one and it'd be a nice one to do,' he said. 'I mean, you'd kind of like to at least do a couple of something to get people used to it.' How did Landman season 1 end? Landman's season 1 finale found Tommy being put in charge of M*Tex Oil since Monty is at death's door due to a faulty ticker. Monty's wife, Cami (Demi Moore), meanwhile, is also poised to be a bigger part of the business, with Tommy appointing her to the board. While working with Cami to close a lucrative "farm-out deal," Tommy is abducted by Galino drug cartel member Jimenez (Alex Meraz). The cartel is incensed over Tommy bringing the National Guard into the region, resulting in the death of one of their own. They torture Tommy as payback. Tommy is saved, however, by Galino himself (played by Andy Garcia). Galino is unhappy with how Jimenez is running his territory, and thinks Tommy can help the cartel get into the oil business. The episode ends with Monty flatlining in the hospital as Cami and their daughters cry for him. So, wait, Monty's really dead? It sure seems like it. It's certainly a surprise, what with the wattage that Emmy-winning Mad Men alum Hamm brought to the series. In a postmortem with TV Insider, Wallace spoke of Monty as if he'd passed. Reflecting on Cami's bigger role in season 2, he said, "I think Demi's character in this first season was kind of playing a little bit of second fiddle to Monty, at least in his role as the president of M-Tex Oil." Wallace continued, "He's the one that's calling the shots and has to make these big decisions, and so he's really the one that's thrust in the fire and is honestly kind of trying to shield his family from the stress that he's experiencing, which ultimately plays a role in his demise... And so his passing is kind of an incredible opportunity for Cami to play a bigger role in this world." What is Landman season 2 about? While an official plot synopsis has yet to be shared by Paramount+, there are plenty of lingering questions posed by the Landman season 1 finale. First, how will Tommy fare as the new president of M*Tex? And what does that portend for its future? In an April 2025 interview with Deadline, Thornton discussed how Tommy and Cami will be working closely together in season 2. 'Since she doesn't really know the oil business that well, I'm there with her to show her how these people operate,' he said. 'You can know something intellectually but what are the street smarts behind it? I know how to deal with these people she's going to have to deal with. I just tell her, 'Look, some of these deals you can take but when it gets really weird and difficult, let me know because I know these guys.'' Thornton also touched on how Tommy's new role will impact his family life. 'He goes from having a job that's really difficult and a job that's very dangeorus to having two,' he said. 'Now I'm kind of executive and a landman and a family man in the midst of this tornado. It makes for some pretty interesting stuff I have to say.' There's also the matter of the cartel's interest in leveraging Tommy to worm their way into the oil business. Wallace touched on this story while chatting with TV Insider, referencing Garcia's Galino and how he could factor into the ongoing story. "What I would hope to see is just what it looks like to have in the cartel a very savvy, smart businessman who happens to be in an illegal business, working alongside Tommy in this legitimate business, and both the rewards and the complications that could bring to both men," he said. Who's in the cast of Landman season 2? Paramount Global confirmed in a press release that season 2 would see the return of many season 1 players, including Thornton, Moore, Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chávez, and Colm Feore, among others. Also returning? Ali Larter, who plays Angela Norris, Tommy's chaotic ex-wife and the mother of his children. Larter's Angela was highlighted in many reviews — including EW's — as being representative of what our critic called the show's "overt sexism." "Tommy and his male peers are three-dimensional disasters; the women, by contrast, are wholly defined by their sex," reads EW's review. Larter, however, has disputed this characterization. "Nobody's putting me in a position that I'm not comfortable being in. I have two children. I've been married for 19 years. I love playing this character," she said in a June 2025 chat with The Hollywood Reporter. She added, "I love that Taylor writes for older women — women in their prime, that were still allowed to be alive! I love that he writes that. I know so many women who are like that. I love that she's able to express that side of herself." Joining the cast is Oscar- and Emmy-nominated actor Sam Elliott, whose deep Southern drawl is a natural fit for Landman's West Texas setting. Elliott previously played a leading role on Sheridan's Yellowstone spinoff 1883 (2021–2022), on which Thornton also appeared. '[Sam Elliott] has always been a mentor and a hero of mine,' Thornton said in an interview with Gold Derby (via Country Living). 'I love the guy, we have a real special relationship in real life… It's so good to see him; he lights my day up.' Larter is also excited to act alongside Elliott. "Just three crows cackling," the actress captioned an Instagram post featuring her, Elliott, and Randolph, who plays Tommy and Angela's daughter, Ainsley. The Oscar- and Emmy-nominated Garcia, who made his Landman debut in the season 1 finale, will play a larger role in season 2. 'Tommy's dealing with someone now who is really smart," Thornton told Variety about Tommy and Galino's relationship. "The other guys were hired to work for him, but now Tommy's talking to the man himself. There are advantages and disadvantages to that. Since he is so smart, who knows what Tommy is going to get tricked into?' When does Landman season 2 come out? A release date for Landman season 2 has yet to be announced, but production began back in April, so don't expect to wait too long for updates. Where can I watch Landman? Landman season 1 is currently available to stream on Paramount+. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly Solve the daily Crossword

How to buy tickets for Penn and Teller's 2025 concert tour You can buy standard original tickets to see Penn and Teller live on Ticketmaster. Tickets to Penn and Teller's Anniversary Tour can also be purchased through verified resale ticket vendors like StubHub and Vivid Seats. You may find better luck with seating variety and prices on these sites. Tickets for the Minnesota Renaissance Festival on August 16 can be purchased through the festival's website. These tickets are not available through resellers, so if you're looking to attend the festival, this is the only option. There are currently no VIP packages being offered on Ticketmaster for Penn and Teller's Anniversary Tour or for their Las Vegas residencies. How much are tickets? Ticket prices for the 50th Anniversary Tour and Las Vegas residency dates vary depending on the date, location, and demand for each show. Resale ticket prices for the comedy duo's coming shows are generally comparable to or cheaper than the available standard original tickets. The lowest-cost tickets to see Penn and Teller's shows on StubHub range from $58 for the November 21 show in Boston to £387 for the London show on September 14. The shows in London are notably more expensive than average, with most tickets falling between $140 and $160 on average Vivid Seats offers slightly lower prices than StubHub, with the least expensive tickets ranging from $41 for the August 21 show in New York to $178 for the January 2 show in Las Vegas. The Last few shows for 2025 are more expensive than average, however, with most tickets costing between $60 and $80. Tickets for the Minnesota Renaissance Festival on August 16 are $20 for children, $29 for adults, and $27 for seniors. Who is opening for Penn and Teller's tour? As of writing, no openers have been announced for Penn and Teller's 50th Anniversary tour. The duo has not had openers for their Las Vegas residencies, so we aren't expecting openers to be announced. Will there be international tour dates? The comedy duo will be in London for 11 shows starting September 13, with the final show scheduled for September 24. All 11 shows will be at the London Palladium. As of writing, no other international dates have been announced, and given the busy Las Vegas residency schedule, it is unlikely more will be added for 2025.
