Legendary rock band The Who will perform at Seat Unique Riverside on Wednesday 19th July for
their UK Tour “The Who Hits Back!”

Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey and band will be performing music from throughout the band’s
nearly 60-year career, including sections devoted to classic albums Tommy & Quadrophenia as well
as other beloved Who tracks and songs from their 2019 WHO album, their first studio release in 13
years, as they light up the home of Durham Cricket.

The gig follows last year’s highly acclaimed ‘The Who Hits Back’ tour of the US, where the band
shared the stage with some of the finest orchestras in America.

The 2023 UK tour will feature THE WHO’s full live band comprised of guitarist/backup singer Simon
Townshend, keyboardist Loren Gold, second keyboardist Emily Marshall, bassist Jon Button,
drummer Zak Starkey and backing vocals by Billy Nicholls, along with orchestra conductor Keith
Levenson, lead violinist Katie Jacoby and lead cellist Audrey Snyder.

The Who are calling upon fans to add an optional £1 donation onto their ticket price at point of sale
in support of Teenage Cancer Trust. Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey are longstanding supporters
and Roger has been the driving force behind Teenage Cancer Trust’s Royal Albert Hall concerts since
they began in 2000.

General ticket prices are available to purchase from £66 with tickets ranging to £129.

With demand set to be high, Seat Unique Riverside will hold a special venue pre-sale on Thursday
2nd February at 10am with a link being sent out to 2023 members and T20 season ticket holders
enabling those who have bought for 2023 a chance to grab your tickets 24 hours ahead of on-sale.
For those non-members who wish to beat the general on-sale, you can still buy your Durham
membership.

Tickets will then go on general sale from 10am on Friday 3rd February.

Please note tickets cannot be purchased from the box office at Seat Unique Riverside.

Members & T20 season ticket holders will be able to buy hospitality and premium tickets from our
ticketing provider Seat Unique from 10am on Thursday, with non-members being able to buy theirs
from 10am on Friday.
