by | Nov 11, 2024

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).

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. He 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.
