Roger Daltrey – legendary rock icon and co-founder of one of music’s most inspirational and influential forces, The Who, will be returning to the States on a special solo tour this June, presenting a mostly acoustic set of Who gems, rarities, solo nuggets and other surprises with an intimate rock-based band and setting as well as answering questions from the audience, kicking off this very exclusive set of shows on 12 June at Virginia’s renowned Wolf Trap at Filene Center. The nine-city run will continue throughout the month of June (see dates below), wrapping on 29 June at The Pavilion at Ravinia in Highland Park, Illinois.
Special guests for the much-anticipated performances include Grammy-nominated Scottish singer/songwriter KT Tunstall and acclaimed, offbeat singer/songwriter Dan Bern. The unique venues and amphitheaters Daltrey has chosen for his summer run will showcase Roger’s acoustic interpretations of his extraordinary canon of Who songs and solo work, supported by a hand-picked ensemble of musicians. Simon Townshend: Guitar and backing vocals; Billy Nicholls: Mandolin and backing vocals; Jody Linscott: Percussion; Doug Boyle: Guitar; John Hogg : Bass and backing vocals; Katie Jacoby: Violin and backing vocals; Steve Weston: Harmonica; Geraint Watkins: Keyboards/accordion; Scott Devours: Drums.
Daltrey’s return to the States follows The Who’s incredibly successful The Who Hits Back! US tour of 2022, with the band’s incomparable frontman drawing praise from all media platforms, including the Dallas Morning News, which said, ‘Daltrey took flight…roaring and howling and ripping his mic cord through the air like he was lassoing cattle…’ The charismatic singer also brought a highly successful solo tour to the States in 2018 via a 10-city run that showcased The Who’s legendary rock opera Tommy, supported by full orchestral backing. Never content to rest on his laurels, the adventurous artist will continue to peel back the layers on his upcoming June tour, excited about expressing more musical shades of his solo palette, which he has generously shared with audiences in the US and beyond throughout his career.
Also known to be one of rock’s more candid, straight-shooters, the working-class Daltrey (originally from London’s Shepherd’s Bush) will answer questions from the audience during the shows, sharing anecdotes and offering up uniquely tailored renditions of songs seldom performed live either by The Who or Daltrey.
In crafting this completely new show set to kick off in June 2024, Daltrey looks forward to unveiling one of his more intimate and unique stage shows, an up close and personal gift to his fans that highlights Who rarities, solo hits, and other songs from his incredible near 60-year career.
Roger Daltrey, CBE, Teenage Cancer Trust’s Honorary Patron and co-founder of Teen Cancer America (with Pete Townshend) recently added harmonica to a historic recording. On March 15, Dire Straits’ Mark Knopfler released a new, special recording of his anthemic composition, ‘Going Home (Theme From Local Hero)’ featuring over 60 of the finest rock performers ever assembled on one iconic track, including members of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Dire Straits, The Who, Pink Floyd, Queen, Black Sabbath, The Shadows, Rush, Guns N’ Roses, and many more. The milestone release, currently available to order here, will raise funds for Teenage Cancer Trust in the UK and Teen Cancer America in the US.

Roger, I have seen the Who several times over the years. I believe it was 1979 when you guys played @ Municiple Auditorium in Kansas City. That was such an awesome show. Your vocals were just amazing.i have a very large collection of music from the 60′ until present. I always catch myself playing Quadrophenia. Have a great time on your tour & sure hope I can manage a way to see one of the shows. Thank for all the great memories.

Met John at a show he had here in KC and what a cool guy and super friendly, maybe get the chance to tell the story and show my autographed ticket to you ! I love the band and the members and hope it’s a great run, take care my friend.
Dear Roger,
Have a great, healthy, and safe tour! How cool to field some audience questions.
Who fan since ’67. Seen you all from ’68 – ’82, 89, 2015 & 2019! And your Tommy show in ’18. An incomparitable, powerhouse singer, and frontman, with some sweet,and gentle moments in between.
I remember seeing a photo of you addressing The US Congress about Teen Cancer; to bring it to The States from Britain. I was like, “woah”! What a wonderful, helpful endeavour, and environment for those teens, their families, and friends. TY.
Take care!
Please come to Vegas !
Love Roger., such a class act guy! When my daughter was 7 he gave her his harmonica ! She’s now 12 and still says she wants to give him a hug and have him sign it !
Absolutely great to see Roger doing a US tour, will he do similar in UK?
Fabulous line up, especially nice to see he is joined by the astonishing
Steve ‘West’ Weston on harmonica! We ran a blues club in the UK for many years and have been privileged to have hosted his band on many occasions. Roger has made a great choice in his band line up!
Just saw the June 10 Keswick show added to the tour. Fantastic! How can I find the presale codes for this one? It’s AXS, not Live Nation.
Thanks!
