Roger Daltrey announces his special guests for his solo shows
Rock legend Sir Roger Daltrey has confirmed a dynamic line-up of special guests set to join him on the much-anticipated solo trek dubbed – A Great Night Out! Artists include Dan Bern, Jeffrey Gaines, Amy Helm, and Leslie Mendelson will appear on various shows (see schedule below.)
The tour will kick off August 23rd at the Mesa Arts Center in Mesa, AZ, and run through early October, including a rare Daltrey performance at New York City’s The Town Hall on September 27th and wrapping up with two additional shows in Brookville, NY at the Tiles Center on October 2nd and Shelbyville, DE at the Freeman Arts Center on October 3rd (see all dates below.)
The recently knighted rock stalwart will be backed by the same musical lineup he performed with on his 2024 tour, featuring a hand-picked ensemble of musicians. Simon Townshend – guitar, Billy Nicholls – mandolin, Jody Linscott – percussion, Doug Boyle – guitar, John Hogg – Bass, Katie Jacoby – violin, Steve Weston – harmonica, Geraint Watkins – keyboards/accordion, Scott Devours – Drums.
The 2026 dates will spotlight Roger’s unmistakable voice and deep catalog, blending iconic selections from his remarkable solo material, reimagined cover songs and Who rarities. Roger will be building on the momentum of his 2024 performances, which were widely celebrated for their acoustic intimacy, storytelling, and enduring vocal presence, with him also offering up renditions of songs seldom performed live by The Who or Roger Daltrey.
The 2024 tour drew raves, with USA Today commenting, “Put Roger Daltrey on a stage and he’s going to rock” and Forbes calling attention to the casual interplay of songs and stories delivered by a relaxed and funny Roger Daltrey – “witty, charming, and engaging. An absolute masterclass…’’ The upcoming shows promise another fresh, revealing glimpse of the charismatic singer, with more banter and straight-shooting rapport as he continues to reign as one of rock’s most commanding live performers.
Sir Roger comments, “Well it’s one more for the road. After finishing The Who’s final tour of the US, it’s time for me as a solo artist to possibly do the same. After touring solo with different bands of musicians for the last 17 years, a less grueling life becomes more attractive, I’ll see. With my present line up of nine musicians, I have this opportunity to see your beautiful country and enjoy the hospitality you have shown me over so many years. I’ll be off the backing tracks and always searching for different soundscapes to present the songs. It’s a lot of fun and gives me the chance to have a Great Night Out.”
Roger was honoured with a knighthood, by The Prince of Wales at Windsor Castle, this past December for his contribution to charity and music. Roger launched and curated the Teenage Cancer Trust concerts initiative at the Royal Albert Hall which has raised millions for the charity over the past 25 years.

Roger your reason for The Who’s last tour not coming to the UK was like a kick in the teeth. You said the USA was easier to get around. You have played many concerts in the UK were I have travelled and slept in an old car to see you. I do not get to go back to a top hotel in a limousine like you do. You have been my hero since I was 11 years old in 1976. I buy your records then CO’S and merchandise at your concerts by The Who or like the last time I saw you with your own band in Halifax. I am disabled and it would never have been possible for me to come and see you without the support from a childhood friend who drives us to your venues. I do not want to be all negative but it seems to be coming out like that. Why are most of your gigs down south, especially around London,especially The Royal Albert Hall. (Congratulations on your knighthood Sir Roger, truly deserved Sir. I hope to see you up north again soon Sir especially around the Manchester area. I can not afford a trip to London and I am now to old to sleep in a car and definitely could not afford London hotel prices. I also remember buying am annual about you in the late 70s were you ran a fish farm. I will leave on a positive note, my brother in law is at the moment in Cyprus and he has been very poorly with Parkinsons disease for many more years I thought you could survive with it. Unfortunately it does also take its toll on my sister who is also in her 70s. It was his copy of Tommy, Quadrophenia Who’s Next and my favourite a complemation called Meaty, beaty big and bouncy.I will leave it here and wish you all the best. YOU ARE THE BEST SIR. MANCHESTER
