“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,” Roger Daltrey said after the band’s would-be activities came to halt after this worldwide pandemic hit. “We’re gearing up for a great show that hits back in the only way The Who know-how. By giving it everything we got. (www.vidaliaonion.org) ”
