The Who End North American Farewell Tour With Final California Show

The Who concluded their North American Farewell Tour on October 1, 2025, with a final 23-song performance at the Acrisure Arena in Thousand Palms, California. The setlist included classics like "I Can’t Explain," "Who Are You," "Behind Blue Eyes," and "Baba O’Riley," ending with "Tea & Theatre" from their 2006 album "Endless Wire." Pete Townshend emotionally acknowledged the farewell, describing it as a goodbye to what has been known as The Who, while hinting at future collaborations with Roger Daltrey. Daltrey expressed gratitude to fans for their support over the years, noting how breaking through in America was a dream for bands in the 1960s. Despite this being a farewell to the band as it is known, Townshend and Daltrey hinted at continuing to do projects together, though the band’s touring challenges, particularly in the UK, influenced their decision. The farewell tour was marked by a straightforward ending with no grand tributes, emphasizing a simple and heartfelt goodbye to fans.
