The Who announced a new residency in Las Vegas on Monday (March 13) that's set to kick off July 29 at Caesars Palace. 

The residency currently consists of just six shows, though -- as The Guardian reports -- was described in a statement as a "first run."

Since 2014, The Who has been a lengthy goodbye tour that is set to end next month in England. the band's leading members guitarist and songwriter Pete Townshend and singer Roger Daltrey are 71 and 73-years-old, respectively. 

The Las Vegas residency shows will run July 29 to August 11.
