The legendary rock band The Who will make their long-awaited return to Dallas as part of their 2022 tour, "The Who Hits Back!," playing at American Airlines Center on May 5.

The two-leg North American tour will start in Hollywood, Florida on April 22, hitting 15 cities over the course of a month, including Austin on May 3 and Houston on May 8. After dates in their native United Kingdom in June and July, they'll return to this side of the Atlantic for 14 more concerts in October and November.

It's been seven long years since The Who played in Texas, as their last Dallas concert was May 2, 2015. The band was scheduled to play in Dallas as part of their 2019-2020 "Moving On!" tour, but the first date on September 27, 2019 was postponed due to illness, and the makeup date on April 27, 2020 was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Singer Roger Daltrey and guitarist/songwriter Pete Townshend, along with their backing band, will play many of their classic songs on the tour, as well as songs from their most recent album, 2019's WHO. The band has released 12 albums over their almost 60-year career, with WHO being their first new album in 13 years.

Tickets for all concerts will go on sale to the public beginning 10 am Friday, February 11 at LiveNation.com. American Express Card Members can purchase tickets in select markets before the general public beginning 10 am Monday, February 7 through 10 pm Thursday, February 10. The Who’s fan club presale starts 10 am Wednesday, February 9 and runs through 10 pm Thursday, February 10.

Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass will play at Winspear Opera House on August 2.

Legendary musician Herb Alpert will come to Winspear Opera House in Dallas on Saturday, August 2 as part of his first tour in 35 years with a new version of his band, The Tijuana Brass.

2025 marks a couple of big milestones for Alpert. He will turn 90 years old on March 31, and his classic album, Whipped Cream & Other Delights, will celebrate its 60th anniversary.

The tour, dubbed Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass & Other Delights, will feature the band performing many songs from that No. 1 album, including the seminal "A Taste of Honey," along with hits like “The Lonely Bull,” “Spanish Flea” — used famously as the background music for TV show The Dating Game — “Tijuana Taxi,” and more.

The 90-minute show is designed to be informal, as Alpert will answer questions from the audience about his career, his collaborators, and more. A giant video screen will display classic photos, videos, art, and various memorabilia from his music career.

Alpert, best known as a trumpeter, is still going strong despite his advanced age. He has released 48 albums in his career, including the new 50 in 2024.

In addition to his own storied career as a recording artist, Alpert founded A&M records with his business partner Jerry Moss. The two discovered artists like The Carpenters, Sergio Mendes, and many others.

Alpert and his wife, Lani Hall, have their own lengthy history together, as they'll celebrate 52 years of marriage in 2025. The husband and wife regularly perform together, including a concert at Majestic Theatre in Dallas in 2024.

Tickets for the show are now on sale for AT&T Performing Arts Center Center Circle Membersat attpac.org. They will go on sale to the general public on Friday, March 14 at 10 am.
