The Who Frontman Roger Daltrey Announces 2025 UK Solo Tour

The Who Frontman Roger Daltrey. In the world of rock ‘n’ roll, few names echo as boldly and persistently as The Who. And at the helm, Roger Daltrey – whose vocal cords must surely be made of the same indestructible material as Captain America’s shield. Roger has announced a UK solo tour for 2025 that promises to strip back the stadium bombast. To something you might actually want to lean in and listen to.

The Who Frontman Roger Daltrey: A Fireside Chat with a Rock Legend

The tour sets off with a roar on April 20 at Brighton Dome and plans to close with a bang in Manchester at Bridgewater Hall on May 4. Roger is bringing his guitar, and also The Who‘s legacy packed neatly in his suitcase. Expect to hear acoustic spins on seismic anthems like Baba O’Riley and My Generation, songs that defined an era and helped shape the very concept of teenage rebellion and rock theatricality.

Why go acoustic? Well, as Roger puts it, “It’s about intimacy, about sharing the stories behind the songs we’ve all lived with.” And share he will. Each venue on the tour has been carefully chosen not for its size but for its ability to let every strum, every raspy vocal nuance, and every whispered confession from Roger reach every ear in the house without the usual rock concert echo.

Alongside the tunes, Daltrey will host Q&A sessions. Because who wouldn’t want to ask the man who sang through a rock opera just how he managed to turn a “deaf, foolish, and blind kid” into a pinball legend? This tour is a fireside chat with a rock legend.

Unplugged and Intimate: Roger Daltrey’s Solo Tour Chronicles

Since screaming his way into the collective consciousness in the ’60s with The Who, Roger has not only penned hits. But has swung microphones and hurled lyrical grenades with the best of them. The band smashed guitars, drum kits, and hotel rooms, sure. But they also smashed expectations of what rock could be – opera, art, protest, and spectacle rolled into one.

Here’s where you can witness this rock ‘n’ roll journeyman share his craft:

• April 20 – Brighton Dome
• April 21 – London Palladium
• April 23 – Southend-on-Sea, The Cliffs Pavilion
• April 24 – University of Wolverhampton, The Halls
• April 26 – Dundee, Caird Hall
• April 28 – Glasgow, SEC Armadillo
• April 30 – Edinburgh, Usher Hall
• May 1 – Gateshead, The Glasshouse – Sage 1
• May 4 – Manchester, Bridgewater Hall

Tickets are ready to be snatched up starting November 15, 2024, at 10 AM, and can be secured through Roger Daltrey’s 2025 Tour Tickets. If you’re looking for the raucous, ear-splitting thunder of a typical The Who concert, this might not be for you. But if you’re interested in the stories behind the screams, the melodies stripped of their electric charge, and a man who can still throw a mic with the best of them, then Roger Daltrey’s solo tour is where you’ll want to be. Bring your questions, bring your memories, and most importantly, bring your ear for tales from the golden age of rock ‘n’ roll.
