The Who‘s Roger Daltrey is about to begin his solo tour of the US, and he enthused to Billboard that he’s “actually looking forward to a tour” this time around. However, there’s something he’s not looking forward to, and that’s his setlists being shared online. “Too many people reveal songs,” he told Billboard. “There’s no surprises left with concerts these days, ’cause everybody wants to see the setlist. I’m fucking sick of it. The Internet’s ruined the live shows for me. Who wants to know what’s coming next? People forget about surprises. I can’t stand it.”
Daltrey did tell Billboard one song he’ll likely play, The Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” but says, “I’m not gonna do the scream. I’m gonna get the fucking audience to do the scream. I’ve done that scream for 55 years, and I’ve had enough of it.” Read the interview in full on Billboard.
The tour begins in Vienna, VA on June 12 and runs through June 29 at Highland Park, IL, and most shows are with KT Tunstall, including Port Chester, NY’s Capitol Theatre on June 18. See all dates below.
