Booking Ahead | The Who, New Order, Beth Orton and A$AP Rocky

The Who

Four years since the Who's last U.S. tour and two since that Super Bowl halftime show, Daltrey and Townshend team up to tackle their 1973 monument to mods, Quadrophenia, November 29 at Allstate Arena. Don't worry, they'll play some of those CSI tunes, too. Anthrax and 2 Chainz visit in September (not on the same bill, silly), while a slew of new October bookings include a Peter Hook–less New Order, recent Pitchfork Fest guests Flying Lotus and A$AP Rocky, plus a rare date with Beth Orton. The following month brings the antagonizing tag-team of Crystal Castles and Health to the Congress Theater. Find these and many other newly announced concerts below, or visit timeoutchicago.com/bookingahead for a more extensive list of upcoming shows.
