After a two-year hiatus, The Who is returning to the concert stage with a new tour, “The Who Hits Back!,” which comes to UBS Arena at Belmont Park in Elmont on Oct. 7. The band will also play Madison Square Garden on May 26.

“Pete and I said we’d be back, but we didn’t think we’d have to wait for two years for the privilege. This is making the chance to perform feel even more special this time around,” said lead singer Roger Daltrey, 77, in a statement. “So many livelihoods have been impacted due to Covid, so we are thrilled to get everyone back together — the band, the crew and the fans.
