The Who's final tour is coming to Boston - Here is how to buy tickets
The Who's current tour will be their last and it includes a stop at Fenway Park in Boston, MA, this month. The iconic band's frontman, Roger Daltrey, revealed to The Times recently, 'this is certainly the last time you will see us on tour.' The Who's final tour is intended to be a grand finale of the band's six-decade career. The trek includes a stop at Fenway Park in Boston on Tuesday, August 26. Fans can purchase tickets using Ticketmaster and reliable third-party ticket sellers like StubHub, VividSeats, and SeatGeek. *New customers who purchase tickets through VividSeats can get $20 off a $200+ ticket order by using the promo code MassLive20 at checkout.* As of Tuesday, August 12, the cheapest tickets to the show at Fenway Park are $56 on StubHub, $52 on VividSeats and $57 on SeatGeek. Daltrey, who has battled viral meningitis, also talked about how his own health was factored into The Who's decision to end things. 'It's done a lot of damage,' Daltrey told The Times. 'It's buggered up my internal thermometer, so every time I start singing in any climate over 75 degrees I'm wringing with sweat, which drains my body salts. The potential to get really ill is there, and I have to be honest, I'm nervous about making it to the end of the tour.' The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee also revealed he is losing his vision and hearing due to macular degeneration. The Who is regarded as one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century. The band earned a reputation as one of the greatest live rock acts, namely because of their performances at Monterey and Woodstock. The Who has also been credited with creating the 'rock opera,' a collection of rock songs with lyrics that relate to a common story. The Who has released 12 studio albums and charted more than two dozen singles on the Billboard Hot 100, including the No. 9 hit 'I Can See for Miles' in 1967. They were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005 and won the first annual Freddie Mercury Lifetime Achievement in Live Music Award in 2006.

'The last big tours that we've done have been with a full orchestra, which was glorious,' Townshend, 80, said. 'But we're now eager to make a noise and make a mess and make mistakes.' The Who's most recent tour dates back to 2023, according to the band's website. Daltrey toured on his own in 2024, and previously said he was preparing to leave music after turning 80 last March.
