The Who announced Tuesday that it would be hosting its first Cincinnati concert since 1979, when 11 people died in a stampede that took place prior to one of their shows.
The band made its announcement in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the tragedy, which occurred on Dec. 3, 1979, after fans grew restless waiting for the concert to begin.
The concert will take place as part of the Moving On! tour, according to CNN. It will begin in April 2020, with the Cincinnati areashow taking place on April 23 at the BB&T Arena at Northern Kentucky University, located in Highland Heights, Kentucky.
A portion of the proceeds from the concert will go towards the P.E.M. Memorial Scholarship Fund, which was created in 2010 in honor of the three Finneytown High School students who died in the stampede, according to The New York Times.
“It is right to recognize that the friends and families of those fans we lost that fateful night have not forgotten them,” lead singer Roger Daltrey said.
Daltrey also noted that the band had been in contact with the Finneytown High School memorial project for years.
“After seeing the good work the scholarships provided by the foundation achieve, we have decided that a concert to raise funds for them will allow these to continue and create something positive in their memory way into the future,” he said.
