Postponed two weeks ago after singer Roger Daltrey was diagnosed with viral meningitis, the Who's Oct. 10 Target Center concert has been rescheduled for May 1. Tickets to the original date will be honored at the show, and more tickets are now on sale via AXS.com or the arena's box office ($39.50-$139.50). Joan Jett & the Blackhearts are no longer listed as the opening act, but someone else will be added to the show.

The make-up date falls on a Sunday night instead of a Saturday and comes about halfway through The Who Hits 50! Tour, which technically should be renamed since it now lands in the legendary British band's 52nd year. Its new kick-off date is Feb. 27 in Detroit.
