THE lead singer of a legendary band is coming to Glasgow on a special solo tour.
Roger Daltrey of The Who will hit the road in 2025 for a tour packed with classic hits, solo songs and his famous Q&A sessions.
He will visit Glasgow's SEC Armadillo on Monday, April 28, 2025.
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.
He will be joined by his nine-piece band which consists of regular The Who collaborator Simon Townshend, John Hogg, Doug Boyle, Steve Weston, Jody Linscott, Billy Nicholls, Katie Jacoby, Geraint Watkins and Scott Devours.
The singer said: "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 is known for taking a pro-Brexit stance, having been one of its most prominent and vocal supporters in the lead up to the 2016 referendum.
However, he also said he had been left feeling “very disappointed” with the lack of progress he felt the UK had made after leaving the European Union.

He previously told The Independent: “I’m disappointed we haven’t made the most of it – I’m really disappointed that we haven’t burned an awful lot of useless regulation.”
He also complained about the difficulties facing musicians who wish to tour around Europe with artists among the hardest hit, reporting higher costs and increased bureaucracy in order to play gigs.
Daltrey’s solo career began in 1973 with the single Giving It All Away, which reached number five in the UK charts.
With The Who, he achieved success with timeless classics such as Who Are You, Won't Get Fooled Again and Baba O'Riley.
Tickets go on sale on Friday, November 15 at 10am.

We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.

The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
