The Who Go Orchestral: A Symphonic Night at the Eden Project

On July 25, 2023, the rugged landscape of Cornwall bore witness to a collision of rock history and architectural wonder. The Who, a band defined by their restless energy and deafening power, took the stage against the glowing, futuristic backdrop of the Eden Project’s biomes.

This wasn't merely another stop on a summer tour; it was a profound reimagining of one of the greatest catalogues in music history.

Now, that legendary evening is being immortalized. The Who Go Orchestral: Live at Eden Project, arriving May 29, 2026, captures Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey at their most cinematic.

Backed by the Heart of England Philharmonic Orchestra, the duo proves that their music was always meant for this scale. The strings don’t just accompany the songs—they elevate them, adding a haunting, operatic depth to Townshend’s jagged guitar work and Daltrey’s timeless roar.

The Definitive Setlist

Across 24 tracks, the performance moves through the band’s history with breathtaking precision. While staples like "Baba O’Riley" and "Pinball Wizard" achieve a new, wall-of-sound majesty, the true magic lies in the deep cuts.

This release features rare live renditions of "Cry If You Want" and "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere," alongside a towering version of the Quadrophenia instrumental masterpiece, "The Rock."
