The Who will headline London’s Hyde Park next June as part of the 2015 British Summer Time Festival.
On Friday, June 26th Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend will be joined on the bill by Paul Weller, Johnny Marr and the Kaiser Chiefs for the gig which is set to end their Who Hits 50 anniversary tour.
The Who are the second headliner to be confirmed for next year’s festival after Taylor Swift was announced for June 27th.
“I remember doing it with an eye patch holding my eye in when we did Quadrophenia, that was a nightmare.” Daltrey has said of the band’s previous Hyde Park gig in 1996. “We had a quarter of a million people coming the next day and i’ve got a fractured cheekbone. How we did that show I’ll never know.”
The Who Hits 50 starts at the Glasgow Hydro Arena on November 30th.
