The Who @ 52 will mark The Who returning to headline Wembley Stadium after 40 years [Saturday 6 July 2019], and the release of Roger Daltrey performing The Who’s Tommy Orchestral, a live version performed with a full symphony orchestra last year to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the seminal 1969 album. Located in the heart of Soho, The Who @ 52 will be open Friday 14th and Saturday 15th June from 10am to 6pm, at 52 Brewer Street, Soho, London W1F 9TQ.
The Who are one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century. Their music provoked explosive change and spanned what many critics declare is rock’s most elastic creative spectrum, with Pete Townshend’s song writing moving between raw, prosaic, conceptual, and expressively literate. Their visionary sense of stagecraft headed by Roger Daltrey’s soaring vocal prowess is topped off by the band’s blistering rhythm section.
What’s in store for fans visiting the pop-up shop:
• World exclusive Pinball Wizard 7” Single – only available in-store at The Who @ 52 – Double A-Side edition of ‘Pinball Wizard’ pressed on blue 7” with alternate single covers from 1969 & 2019
• CD and Vinyl of Tommy Orchestral including limited copies signed by Roger
• The Who official merchandise including a bespoke in-store exclusive T-shirt and poster
• Exclusive Wembley Stadium show ticket promotion
• An exhibition of rare and archive memorabilia and installations
• The Tommy Pinball Wizard challenge – full size retro pinball machine!
