    Pete Townshend, guitarist and principal songwriter of The Who and co-founder of Teen Cancer America, will come together with Billy Idol, Eddie Vedder, Alfie Boe, the Chicagoland Pops Orchestra and Chicago Children’s Choir for one memorable night of music. Townshend will bring his Classic Quadrophenia stage show to the Rosemont Theatre as part of his ongoing efforts to raise money for teenagers with cancer in America.

    For over 17 years, The Who band members have been patrons of the successful UK charity, the Teenage Cancer Trust. Their efforts have raised millions of dollars through performances and special events. In 2012, Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend established Teen Cancer America to replicate their work in this country. Townshend has chosen Chicago as the city to host this very special fundraising performance.

    "Meet and greet with Pete Townshend and guests."  Guests would include Ed and Billy Idol I assume?

    I'm a little torn about this... the last Who/EV fundraiser at Rosemont was tough to justify the $100/750 ticket prices.
    Great to see this happening, and nothing will stop me from going, but definitely arriving with lower expectations.

    I'm searching for it too. I'm on all the Chicago presale email lists so I would guess it will be sent out.
    Found: Soundgarden Hyde Park DVD (Thank you for the gift!)
