The Who<\/a> have extended their Moving On tour with the new slate of 2020 dates \u2014 including the band\u2019s return to Cincinnati for the first time since December 3rd, 1979, when 11 people died during a stampede outside the Who\u2019s show<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Who announced their long-awaited live return to Cincinnati on the 40th anniversary of the tragedy, with Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend appearing on Cincinnati station WCPO\u2019s documentary The Who: The Night That Changed Rock<\/em><\/a> Tuesday to talk about the incident.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Cincinnati-area concert will take place April 23rd at Northern Kentucky University\u2019s BB&T Arena, just seven miles south from the 1979 concert site Riverfront Coliseum.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNow we can have a conversation about it when we go back,\u201d Townshend told the Associated Press<\/em><\/a> of the Who\u2019s return to Cincinnati. \u201cWe will meet people and we\u2019ll be there. We\u2019ll be there. That\u2019s what\u2019s important. I\u2019m so glad that we\u2019ve got this opportunity to go back.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Who will also donate a portion of proceeds from the concert to the P.E.M. Memorial<\/span><\/a>, the organization founded to provide college scholarships for students at Finneytown High School, where some of the 1979 victims were students.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to the Cincinnati gig, the Who also added a Florida show, rescheduled three previously postponed gigs and lined up a six-date Las Vegas residency. The band recently released their new album Who<\/em>, the Who\u2019s first album in 13 years.<\/span><\/p>\n
