ROGER DALTREY TO TOUR THE WHO’S ‘TOMMY’ IN THE U.S. AND CANADA
|
6 week tour kicks off in Florida on September 13.
ROGER DALTREY recently premiered his spectacular performance of The Who’s legendary rock opera TOMMY at The Royal Albert Hall, London, in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust and is now taking it on the road, performing TOMMY in its entirety from start to finish. (The Who never actually played the complete Tommy.) Tickets go on sale Thursday, May 19 (Canada) and Friday, May 20 at (U.S.). See below for full list of on sales. A special American Express card member pre-sale begins Monday, May 16 at 10AM local via www.aeglive.com (ending May 18 in Canada and May 19 in the U.S.). In addition, a variety of VIP packages will be available including options for artist meet-and-greets, reserved seating, collectible memorabilia and more. Keep an eye on TheWho.comfor more details. Employing the use of striking visuals to accompany the music, every show will be an unforgettable concert experience for lifelong fans and newcomers alike, who will be treated not only to the full majesty of TOMMY, but also to a variety of Who classics and more. Inducted into The Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998, the 20 million-selling double album of TOMMY defined the genre of rock opera. It also spawned a successful 1975 film of the same name–with DALTREY playing the title role–which re-underlined its place in the cultural firmament. Rock And Roll Hall of Fame inductee DALTREY is pulling out all the stops with a full band that will bring the rock opera’s wide-ranging sounds and textures to life vibrantly on stage every evening. Joining DALTREY will be Frank Simes (guitar), Scott Deavours (drums), Jon Button (bass), Loren Gold (keyboards) and, also on guitar, SIMON (younger brother of Pete) TOWNSHEND. Commenting on the tour, Pete Townshend says “Great to see Roger performing TOMMY with his band in 2011. I will be there in spirit and Roger has my complete and most loving support. Roger is touring his unique concert version of TOMMY using his faithful presentation of the original work as the backbone for a set of wider material. It is wonderful to hear the way Roger and his new band re-interpret the old Who songs.” After the recent Royal Albert Hall performance, the Who blogosphere was alight with comments from long standing fans, such as “Roger really nailed Tommy” and “Last night’s concert was the best I’ve ever seen – what a great band!” “TOMMY, an album that tells a story about a “deaf, dumb, and blind boy” who becomes the leader of a messianic movement, will always be seen as a turning point for the band,” says DALTREY. “Within it, I found the new voice of The Who and the band found its stride in making that music, adjusting it, using all that knowledge that we had from jazz and the blues into making it work in a rock way. What my band and I are doing now is a Tommy Show for today’s audience from a different perspective.” The much-anticipated six-week tour launches September 13 in Hollywood, FL and concludes November 2 at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg, MB.

Nederlander Entertainment and Production Simple Present… Sublime with Rome July 10, 2011 – Iroquois Amphitheater
Louisville, KY – On Sunday, July 10, Sublime with Rome will take the stage at the Iroquois Amphitheater.
online at Ticketmaster.com.com or by phone at 1-800-745-3000.
Featuring founding members of Sublime, drummer Bud Gaugh and bass player Eric Wilson with new frontman, singer/guitarist Rome – Sublime with Rome is reintroducing themselves and Sublime’s music to fans across the country.
Rome, a 21-year-old northern California native, was introduced to Gaugh and Wilson in 2008. Last year, a handful of jam sessions led to an impromptu show at a small club in Nevada flooring a packed-house crowd. The trio later performed a one-off at the Smokeout Festival last fall and was a surprise special guest at the infamous KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas show, before officially dubbing themselves Sublime with Rome. The band returned to the stage for the first time in 14-years, fittingly on 4/20/10 for two highly anticipated, sold out nights at the Hollywood Palladium to rave reviews.
“Our shows are full of surprises,” said Gaugh. “Sublime has never used a set list. We are performing songs off every album and mix it up from show to show, never delivering the same set twice. We’ve also been working on some new material and have put together a couple of songs with Rome. We want to celebrate the music and share the experience with our fans.”
One of the most notable and successful ska-punk bands of all time, Sublime has sold over 17 million albums worldwide with the group’s music remaining in constant radio rotation across the country. Influential Los Angeles rock radio station KROQ has listed Sublime as the #3 act in their annual “biggest bands” list for the last six years in a row with the single “Date Rape” ranking as the all-time most requested song at the station. To this day, the group’s multi-platinum landmark debut album “40oz. to Freedom,” lo-fi follow up “Robbin’ the Hood,” and multi-platinum self-titled major label debut (a virtual greatest hits set in itself) are all widely regarded as music collection staples. Formed in Long Beach in 1988, Sublime’s final performance was in the spring of 1996.
Sublime with Rome will be performing live at the Iroquois Amphitheater on Sunday, July 10. Tickets, $35 in advance and $40 day of show, will be go on sale this Friday, May 20 at 10:00 AM at all Ticketmaster locations including select Kroger stores, online at Ticketmaster.com.com or by phone at 1-800-745-3000.
