LAS VEGAS, March 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- THE WHO announced today that they will launch their exclusive Las Vegas residency this summer at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace beginning July 29, 2017.  One of rock's most legendary and defining bands, THE WHO joins the home of the greatest entertainers in the world as the first rock band to take residency at The Colosseum since the venue opened in 2003.  Tickets for the first run of six shows scheduled July 29 through August 11 will go on sale to the public beginning Friday, March 17 at noon PT. The residency is presented jointly by Caesars Entertainment and AEG Presents.

The first six shows going on sale are:
Jul.:    29

Tickets may be purchased in person at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace Box Office, by calling 866-320-9763 or online at thecolosseum.com or axs.com.  Orders are subject to additional service charges and fees.  Ticket prices are $501/$351/$226/$151/$100.50/$76 (prices include 9% Live Entertainment Tax as assessed by the State of Nevada).

Fans can expect the band to take them on an 'Amazing Journey' through their entire career from the days of 'THE HIGH NUMBERS' to classic albums such as 'WHO'S NEXT,' 'TOMMY,' 'QUADROPHENIA,' 'MY GENERATION' and 'LIVE AT LEEDS' up to the present day. 

THE WHO have sold over 100 million records since forming in 1964; they brought together four different personalities and in effect produced a musical hurricane.  Each of them was a pioneer. Wildman drummer Keith Moon beat his kit with a chaotic elegance; stoic bassist John Entwistle held down the center with the melodic virtuosity of a solo guitarist; raging intellectual Pete Townshend punctuated the epic universality of his songs with the windmill slamming of his fingers across his guitar strings; and Roger Daltrey roared above it all with an impossibly virile macho swagger. They exploded conventional rhythm and blues structures, challenged pop music conventions, and redefined what was possible on stage, in the recording studio, and on vinyl. Now into their 53rd year, the band is still going strong and winning rave reviews.
