Fans of The Who in the United States might not get the opportunity to see the iconic hard rock band live on stage again. In a recent interview with USA Today, the group’s vocalist Roger Daltrey expressed doubt they will tour America again.

The Who last played in the US in 2022 as part of the Hits Back tour, which partially supported the band’s twelfth studio Who but also featured some of their biggest hits. When asked by USA Today if the band plans on touring America again in the future, Daltrey said that the chances of that happening are slim.

“Nothing at the moment. I don’t know if we’ll ever come back to tour America,” Daltrey shared.

Daltrey explained that the only tour The Who might do in America is the orchestrated performance of their rock opera Quadrophenia “to round out the catalog.” However, he noted that singing it live in a tour setting would be “one tall order,” considering he will turn 80 in 2024.

 “I never say never, but at the moment it’s very doubtful,” he added.

The Who is currently scheduled to continue the Hits Back tour in the summer. They will play a series of concerts across Europe, including Spain, Italy, France, Germany, and the UK.
