Pete Townshend has outlined The Who’s plans for the rest of 2008. The guitarist is an avid blogger and released the following tidbits on his website:

"... After a talk with Roger yesterday we came up with a wish-list style plan. We still like the idea of playing Japan - especially as 'Amazing Journey' has yet to be released there and we might be able to give it a push by performing there around the time of the release this Autumn."

"We also talked about revisiting Quadrophenia the way we did it in the '90s. This is all work for the Autumn."

"Roger is working on his own idea for an album for us, with the producer T-Bone Burnett, who is an old friend of mine."

"I am hoping to come up with some songs for a more conventional Who record."

"There is a chance we might play some shows in the Festival season this summer. I would want to do that purely for fun, and I don't want to turn it into a big tour. I need to stay focussed on my writing."

As of press time The Who have no confirmed tourdates. Townshend is, however, rumored to appear with Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood at New York’s Madison Square Garden later this month. The Who guitarist recently played a private New Year’s Eve gig in London with Clapton, Ringo Starr and Joe Walsh
