Who’s next to announce a concert at the Golden State Warriors’ new Chase Center in San Francisco?

Well, it turns out that it’s The Who.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame act, led by lead vocalist Roger Daltrey and guitarist Pete Townshend, is set to perform at the new 18,064-seat venue on Oct. 9.

It’s part of The Who’s North American Moving On! Tour, which was announced earlier this year.

Tickets are $69-$304 and go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. April 12, www.chasecenter.com.

There are also presale opportunities, including one for Chase cardholders that begins at 10 a.m. April 9 (see chasecenter.com/chaseonsale for more information).

The Who is one of most celebrated bands in rock ‘n’ roll history, having been a force in genre since it got its start in the mid-1960s.

The group has sold 100 million-plus records around the globe, placed 27 singles in the Top 40 in the U.S. and U.K, and scored 17 top 10 albums. The band’s best-known albums include 1969’s “Tommy,” 1971’s “Live at Leeds” 1973’s “Quadrophenia” and 1978’s “Who Are You.”

The Who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.
