The next round of shows launches Feb. 23 in Reno, and new shows in Little Rock, AR; Oklahoma City; and Hollywood, FL, extend the itinerary through late March. Details are included below.

Tickets for the three aforementioned new dates currently are on sale to members of the band's official fan club, and will hit the box office Friday (2/16) for the general public. Information about the pre-sale is available at the tour's official website

Released last October, "Endless Wire" is The Who's first new studio set since 1982's "It's Hard." The album includes several brand new tracks, as well as music culled from a 29-minute mini-opera inspired by Townshend's novella "The Boy Who Heard Music." The book is available online at Townshend's website.

As previously reported, surviving group founders Townshend (guitar) and Daltrey (vocals) are now backed by drummer Zak Starkey (son of Beatles drummer Ringo Starr), guitarist/vocalist Simon Townshend (Pete's younger brother), bassist Pino Palladino and keyboardist John "Rabbit" Bundrick.

Original Who bassist John Entwistle died of a cocaine-induced heart attack in 2002 at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, where the band was preparing for a North American tour that was scheduled to launch three days later. Daltrey and Townshend canceled the first two shows, but ultimately forged ahead with the outing.

Original drummer Keith Moon died of a drug overdose in 1978.
