ShareLegendary rock singer Roger Daltrey will be hitting the road in 2025 on a special solo tour packed with classic The Who songs, solo hits and his now-famous Q&A sessions, in which he opens up to the fans who have been with him throughout the decades.
In a run of unmissable intimate shows, Daltrey will perform acoustic and semi-acoustic takes on gems from the legendary band and delve into a solo back catalogue that dates back nearly 50 years.
Accompanied by his incredible nine piece band, the acclaimed group consists of regular The Who collaborator Simon Townshend (guitar and vocals) alongside John Hogg (bass), Doug Boyle (guitar), Steve Weston (harmonica), Jody Linscott (percussion), Billy Nicholls (backing vocals), Katie Jacoby (violin), Geraint Watkins (keyboard), and Scott Devours (drums).
While showcasing one of the most famous voices in rock, Daltrey will also give the audience the floor, as he takes on questions about his storied career.
Roger says: “”Here we go again! After touring the US with this band of phenomenal musicians, I can’t wait to get back on the road in the UK with these shows. It’s a joy to be on stage performing – up close and personal for the audience, chatting with them and playing familiar songs in an unfamiliar way.”
Daltrey’s solo career began in 1973 with the single Giving It All Away which reached number number in the UK charts. His most recent album was 2018’s acclaimed top ten hit, As Long As I Have You.
With The Who, he was the voice of timeless classics like Substitute, Who Are You, Won’t Get Fooled Again and Baba O’Riley.
In 2024, Daltrey bowed out as figurehead for the Teenage Cancer Trust after 24 years, during which time he raised around £34 million with star-studded concerts at the Royal Albert Hall. He remains the Honorary Patron of the charity and an active campaigner on their behalf.
Last year also saw Daltrey contributing a harmonica part for Mark Knopfler’s all-star Guitar Heroes take on his song Going Home (Theme from Local Hero) – released in aid of the charity, which builds and operates specialised wards for teenagers with cancer. The recording featured everyone from Slash to Joan Armatrading to Roger’s The Who counterpart and guitarist Pete Townshend.
