The Who’s Roger Daltrey to perform solo show at Mohegan Sun Arena

The Who vocalist Roger Daltrey’s 2024 solo tour will include a June 23 date at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville.

According to a press release, Daltrey will play “a mostly acoustic set of Who gems, rarities, solo nuggets and other surprises with an intimate rock-based band and setting.” There will also be a Q&A element to the show, with Daltrey answering questions from the audience.

The opening act will be Scottish singer/songwriter KT Tunstall, whose latest album is her 2023 collaboration with Suzi Quatro “Face to Face.”

Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster, and if the show doesn’t sell out overnight, can be found at the Mohegan Sun box office on Saturday.

Daltrey has been a member of The Who since before they were named that, playing with guitarist/songwriter Pete Townshend and bassist John Entwhistle in The Detours, as well as when The Who were briefly renamed The High Numbers (after enlisting their spirited drummer Keith Moon) to court the growing “Mod” movement of the mid-1960s.

Daltrey has also kept a simultaneous solo career going since the early 1970s. His early solo projects were used to showcase songwriters such as Leo Sayers and non-Who sounds, while more recently he has done some Who-themed solo projects and tours. His most recent solo album, “The Who’s ‘Tommy’ Orchestral,” was a live recording of a tour in which Daltrey sang songs from the band’s most famous rock opera. That tour visited the classical concert venue Tanglewood in Massachusetts.

Daltrey does not appear to have played a Connecticut casino solo since a series of “Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp” shows at Foxwoods in 2014. He also played Foxwoods that same year on a double bill with Joan Jett.

The Who last played Mohegan Sun in 2017. The band’s most recent Hartford show was at the XL Center in 2011.

As a member of The Who, Daltrey has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, received a Lifetime Achievement award from the Grammy Foundation and (with Townshend, the only other surviving founding member of The Who) was a Kenny Center Honors recipient in 2008. He was made a Commander of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth in 2004.

Daltrey’s acting roles have ranged from starring roles in the Ken Russell film spectacles “Tommy” and “Lisztomania” and the prison drama “McVicar” to the singing dragon Argon on the children’s series “The Wheels on the Bus.”

Daltrey turned 80 years old on March 1.

This week Mohegan Sun also announced a number of other upcoming dates with tickets going on sale Friday, including a metal rock bill of Ace Frehley, Slaughter and Aldo Nova on May 26 and Paul Anka’s “Seven Decades” tour playing there June 1.

Among the other upcoming concerts at the 10,00-capacity arena are Stevie Nicks on June 9, John Fogerty with George Thorogood on June 16, Brad Paisley on June 29, Daryl Hall and Elvis Costello together on July 12, Phish on July 23 and 24 and Greta Van Fleet on Aug. 2.
