The Who's Roger Daltrey has added another pair of dates to next year's UK solo tour. The 80-year-old singer's Alive And Kicking...And Having Fun tour will now visit Halifax and Margate in addition to the already-announced shows in London, Brighton, Southend-on-Sea, Wolverhampton, Dundee, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Gateshead and Manchester.
At the shows, Daltrey will be performing Who classics and solo hits, in addition to hosting a nightly Q&A session for fans. Tickets for the new shows will go on sale Friday December 6 at 10am. Full dates below.
“Here we go again!” says Daltrey. “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.”
In August, Daltrey's Who bandmate Pete Townshend admitted that he doesn't know if the legendary British band has a future.
“I don’t know what’s gonna happen with The Who,” he told The Daily Beast. “I’m hoping Roger and I can find some common ground and find some way to work again, possibly without an orchestra, because I think we’ve done that.
“I’m encouraged by seeing what Roger’s doing in his solo tour,” he added. “It seems to me that if we put a small band together and just decided to throw shit at the wall, it might be great. But Roger and I don’t converse. We don’t talk. So, it might be difficult to land on something that we both share an interest in. But it’s there for the taking, I think.”
