THE WHO just pulled a classic rock ’n’ roll move—Philadelphia’s Thursday (August 21) gig at the Xfinity Mobile Arena (formerly Wells Fargo Center, because *corporate rebrands* are eternal) is postponed. Blame it on the dreaded “illness.” Guess someone forgot to take their vitamin C between smashing guitars. 🎸
The venue’s social media post promises they’re working “quickly to schedule a new date.” Ticketholders, cling to those stubs like Pete Townshend clings to his windmill guitar strums—they’ll still work for the rescheduled show.
This Philly hiccup is part of THE WHO’s melodramatically titled “The Song Is Over” U.S. farewell tour—because *third time’s the charm*, right? The tour kicked off August 16 in Sunrise, Florida, and rolls on (until further rescheduling?) through September 28 in Las Vegas. 17 shows, 50+ years of anthems, and a *farewell* that’s starting to feel like a “see ya later.”
