The Who’s Tommy remains one of the great concept albums of all time, and this summer as part of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Blossom Music Center, the Who’s Roger Daltrey will team up with the Cleveland Orchestra to play the album in its entirety at Blossom.

The concert will take place at 8 p.m. on Sunday, July 8.

A special pre-sale to Cleveland Orchestra subscribers and donors as well as Rock & Roll Hall of Fame members is currently underway.

Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. on Friday. The event isn’t included as part of subscriptions, lawn ticket book packages or the Under 18s Free Program.

Because of the nature of the concert, special security measures will be in place, and size restrictions will be placed on bags. No glass will be permitted.

  1. Being the last stop on the tour – and how the number of ticket requests are wreaking havoc on The Cleveland Orchestra’s “Queue-it” website, perhaps a second performance will be scheduled if the July 8 show sells out today (Friday)……or in the next couple days.
