The Who's "The Song Is Over" concerts in Philadelphia, Atlantic City postponed
The Who concerts in Philadelphia and Atlantic City, part of the legendary rock and roll band's "The Song Is Over — North American Farewell Tour," have been postponed due to illness.
In a social media post on Thursday, Philadelphia's Xfinity Mobile Arena, formerly the Wells Fargo Center, said the venue and band are working "quickly to schedule a new date." No makeup date has been announced.
Ticketmaster says ticketholders should hold onto their tickets because they'll be valid for the new date.
Thursday's show was planned to be the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band's final performance in Philadelphia.
A similar announcement was released by the Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall ahead of the Saturday night show. The Atlantic City venue said the concert had been postponed due to illness. A makeup date has yet to be announced.
The Who, led by Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, kicked off a 16-city North American tour on Aug. 16 in Sunrise, Florida.
The Philly date was set to be the third show of the tour. According to the tour schedule, the band had a scheduled day off on Friday before the originally scheduled concert in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The band announced the tour, named after its iconic 1971 hit "The Song is Over," in May.
The Who are among the legendary 1960s British Invasion bands that include The Beatles, The Animals, Bee Gees and The Kinks, among others.
