BOSTON — The Who on Thursday announced a farewell tour with 16 shows across North America, including a stop in Massachusetts.

The legendary rock band will perform at Boston’s beloved Fenway Park on Tuesday, Aug. 26, as part of their “The Song is Over” tour.

Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend plan to say goodbye to fans in cities in America and Canada by performing songs from their entire catalog.

"The warmth of the American audiences over the years has been inspirational to me, and reflects the feeling I remember getting after hearing the first rock records coming across the radio," Daltrey said in a statement. “Musical freedom! Rock gave us a feeling of generational rebellion. To me, America has always been great."

Townshend added, “All good things must come to an end. It is a poignant time. For me, playing to American audiences and those in Canada has always been incredible. The warmth and engagement of those audiences began back in 1967 with hippies smoking dope, sitting on their blankets, and listening deeply and intensely. Music was everywhere. We all felt equal. Today, Roger and I still carry the banner for the late Keith Moon and John Entwistle, and of course, all of our longtime Who fans."

Tickets will be available starting with a Citi presale and through the Who Fan Club beginning on Tuesday, May 13. The general sale is slated for Friday, May 16, at 10 a.m.
