The Who In Hyde Park Heads To Cinemas #VIDEO

The concert film The Who in Hyde Park will be presented in movie theaters nationwide on Thursday, October 8 by Fathom Entertainment and Arts Alliance.

The show features the group’s June 26, 2015 performance before a crowd of 65,000 at British Summer Time in Hyde Park, London, a stop on their Who Hit 50 world tour. Also included in the presentation are interviews with Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, Iggy Pop, Robert Plant, Johnny Marr and more along with a short film on the West London landmarks and haunts that the band frequented in the 1960’s.

Pete Townshend on playing Hyde Park, “It’s a good gig. You draw from all over the country, but a London crowd is always a good crowd. It’s a Royal Park so thank you, your majesty; you can’t play it without her permission.”

John Rubey, Fathom Events CEO, said, “This October, moviegoers will get a special opportunity to experience a historic, show-stopping performance from one of the most iconic bands in music history. Along with our partners at Arts Alliance, we are thrilled to bring The Who’s 50-year celebration to fans across the U.S.”
