The Who frontman Roger Daltrey  – embarking on a UK solo tour in April/May 2025

Legendary 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 9 piece band, the acclaimed group consists 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), Scott Devours (drums).
Tickets go on sale Friday 15th November at 10am for the exclusive shows at venues up and
down the country.
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 5
in the UK charts. His most recent album was 2018’s acclaimed top10 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 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.
