The Who is going on tour in the UK again for the first time in six years.
The band, fronted by singer Roger Daltrey, 78, will be performing live this summer across the country.
The Pinball Wizard hitmakers headlined their first tour in 1962 and will now be back rocking around the nation, from 6 -23 July - accompanied by a full orchestra.
Ahead of the long-awaited gig, Roger said: "Having not toured the UK for six years it’s great that at this time of our careers we have the chance to go to places that are not on the usual touring map Edinburgh Castle and Derby as well as the other cities across the country that we haven’t been to for decades will make this very special for me.
"This opportunity will give our UK Who fans the chance to hear our current show which with the addition of an orchestra takes our music to new heights."
As well as a full orchestra, the mod icons will be joined by special guests UB40 - featuring Ali Campbell - for some of their scheduled shows.
Guitarist Pete Townshend said: "Roger initially christened this tour with an orchestra 'Moving On!' I love it. It is what both of us want to do. Move on with new music classic Who music all performed in new and exciting ways.
"Taking risks nothing to lose. I’m really looking forward to bringing this show to the UK."
The set is said to reference each milestone from the band's epic career, including rock opera Tommy and music from cult classic 1973 album Quadrophenia, which was turned into film starring Leslie Ash.
The tour kicks off on July 6 at Sewell Group Craven Park, Hull before ending on July 23 at the Sussex county cricket ground in Hove.
Tickets will go on general sale this Friday, February 3, at 10am
Who frontman Roger feared he would never be able to sing again after having throat surgery in 2009 to remove pre-cancerous cells.
Speaking about the operation previously on the Life on a Plate podcast, he said: “You have got to accept when you get hit by a blow that you might not be able to sing after this operation because they didn’t know what it was.
“It could have been cancer. You go under the anaesthetic with the feeling it’s one of two things.
“I’m going to wake up and it is going to be OK and I am going to be able to carry on, or I won’t be able to sing again. If I can’t sing again, I’ll go back to being a painter and decorator – I’ll manage.”
