IAG Cargo has continued its partnership with rock legends, The Who, providing the logistics for 65 of the band’s global tour to celebrate their 50th anniversary tour.

IAG Cargo head of commercial, David Shepherd says: “Having worked with The Who’s logistics team for more than a quarter of a century, we are well practiced in ensuring that every piece of equipment reaches the right place at the right time and in perfect condition.”

The Who production manager, Roy Lamb says: “With so much high octane activity taking place on stage, the band and the crew appreciated the fact that backstage logistics, including the safe delivery of the equipment, happened seamlessly and punctually.”
