The Who World Tour begins 2007 with the announcement of a full European tour kicking off in Lisbon and visiting 14 different countries and 28 cities throughout the summer.\"It goes on and on and on and on and on. It gets better and better and better and better. It is more and more fun. But this chapter is over in July 2007 so if you want to catch the new Who at their most effective for twenty years, come and join us.\"
Vocalist Roger Daltrey is equally effusive saying:
\"It\'s great to have been around for this length of time and still be playing new material, having it so well received and people liking the music. Life doesn\'t get any better than that!\"
The European leg of the tour follows on from their critically acclaimed North American tour dates, playing to sold out crowds.
