Roger Daltrey – announces massive summer shows

Legendary singer Roger Daltrey has announced new summer concert appearances for 2025, when he will perform different takes on classic The Who songs and solo hits.

Accompanied by his incredible 9-piece band, the singer will play TK Maxx presents Live at the Piece Hall, Halifax on Wednesday 30th July; Margate Summer Series at Dreamland on Friday 8th August. 

Tickets go on sale on Friday 6th December for the latest shows by one of rock’s most famous voices.

The news follows the announcement of a solo tour in April and May with his acclaimed group, made up of regular The Who collaborator Simon Townshend (guitar/ vocals) alongside John Hogg (bass), Doug Boyle (guitar), Steve Weston (harmonica), Jody Linscott (percussion), Billy Nicholls (BV), Katie Jacoby (violin), Geraint Watkins (keyboard) and Scott Devours (drums).

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 and sharing familiar songs in an unfamiliar way.”

Daltrey’s 50-year solo career began with the single ‘Giving It All Away’ in 1973, reaching number 5 in the UK charts. His most recent album was 2018’s acclaimed top 10 hit As Long As I Have You.

One of the great British rock bands, The Who produced pop classics including ‘My Generation’, ‘Pinball Wizard’ 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 Honorary Patron of the charity and an active campaigner on their behalf. 

This 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.
