The Wholigans capture not only the sound and essence of The Who, but could easily pass for the original members of this iconic band.

Concentrating on the ‘Live at Leeds’ era , The Wholigans set list contains a majority of the most popular material from The Who’s catalogue from day one until the final days of Keith Moon.

From the stage clothes, authentic stage gear, and even capturing the mannerisms of The Who, this incredible tribute brings back memories of a Who of yesteryear.  You won’t believe your eyes and ears!

With the thrashing windmills of Pete Townshend, to the mic swinging of Roger Daltrey, and the incredible drumming style of Keith Moon, combined with the thunderfingers of John Entwistle, The Wholigans seem to have captured the total package–that is ……The Who.

Come See, Feel & Hear The Who’s music the way it was in the glory days of the 70’s and decide for yourself WHO THE WHOLIGANS ARE!
