Legendary THE WHO Singer ROGER DALTREY Announces 2026 U.S. Solo Tour 'A Great Night Out'
Rock legend Sir Roger Daltrey has announced a run of U.S. solo tour dates, celebrating his return two years after his widely praised semi-acoustic 2024 summer outing, and well-rested from the acclaimed THE WHO farewell tour which critics hailed as "a powerful reminder of just how vital the band is to the rock canon." The much-anticipated solo trek has been dubbed "A Great Night Out".
The tour will kick off August 23 at the Mesa Arts Center in Mesa, Arizona and run through September, including a rare Daltrey performance at New York City's The Town Hall on September 27 and wrapping up in Medford, Massachusetts at the Chevalier Theatre on September 29.
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 on guitar, Billy Nicholls on mandolin, Jody Linscott on percussion, Doug Boyle on guitar, John Hogg on bass, Katie Jacoby on violin, Steve Weston on harmonica, Geraint Watkins on keyboards/accordion and Scott Devours on drums.
The 2026 dates will spotlight Daltrey's unmistakable voice and deep catalog, blending iconic selections from his remarkable solo material, reimagined cover songs and WHO rarities. Daltrey will be building on the momentum of his 2024 performances, which were widely celebrated for their acoustic intimacy, storytelling, and enduring vocal presence.
Daltrey comments: "Well, it's one more for the road. After finishing THE WHO's final tour of the U.S., it's time for me as a solo artist to possibly do the same.... It's a lot of fun and gives me the chance to have A Great Night Out."
