- By Ben Crandell

Rock icons the Who will bring their superb Moving On! Tour back to South Florida for a performanc­e in the intimate confines of Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood on April 21.

Tickets will cost cost $505, $255, $205, $155, $135, $115, $105 and $85, and are scheduled to go on sale 10 a.m. Friday at MyHRL.com.

A dollar from each ticket sold for the “Moving On!” Tour will benefit Teen Cancer America.

The Moving On! Tour, which pairs singer Roger Daltrey and guitarists­ongwriter Pete Townshend with a local symphony orchestra, offered a remarkably powerful and satisfying night of classics when the Who packed the BB&T Center with 20,000 fans in September.

Hearing them perform in the new 7,000-seat Hard Rock Live should be even more rewarding, especially their potent acoustic version of “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and the crowd-pleasing funkiness of “Eminence Front,” which Townshend may explain was written in Miami.

The two founding members of the band are backed by guitarist Simon Townshend (Pete’s brother), keyboardis­t Loren Gold, bassist Jon Button, drummer Zak Starkey and backing vocalist Billy Nicholls, along with Keith Levenson conducting the orchestra. Lead violinist Katie Jacoby and lead cellist Audrey Snyder were a revelation.

Along with hits such as “Baba O’Riley,” “I Can See for Miles,” “Behind Blue Eyes,” “Pinball Wizard,” “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and “Who Are You,” the Who will have music from their critically lauded new album, “Who.” Their first full-length album in 13 years was released Friday.
