Where The Who toured recently
In 2025 The Who focused their live schedule on Europe, playing arena shows in Ireland and the U.K. including dates in Dublin, Glasgow, Manchester and London, per European concert listings.Ticketmaster Ireland event listings
Those concerts continued a pattern from 2023 and 2024, when the group also concentrated on U.K. and mainland European venues instead of mounting a full U.S. arena run, as shown by archived tour overviews.Setlist.fm tour overview for The Who
How this matters for U.S. fans
For U.S. listeners, the recent European focus underscores that The Who still operate mainly as a selective touring act. Since the extensive Moving On! orchestral tour in 2019, they have not announced a comparable large-scale U.S. trek, instead opting for targeted appearances.
That strategy reflects their status as legacy headliners who can still fill arenas and major festival slots abroad while treating North American shows as special events rather than continuous annual tours.
