Legendary rock singer Roger Daltrey has announced a special guest who will be joining him on his UK tour in April and May 2025.
Linka Moja will be hitting the road with Daltrey on his special solo tour, packed with classic The Who songs, solo hits and his now-famous Q&A sessions, in which he opens up to the fans who have been with him throughout the decades.
Linka merges folk melodies, rock instrumentation and soulful rhythms to create a soundscape that captivates audiences worldwide. Her performances are celebrated for their raw emotion and electrifying energy, making every live show an unforgettable experience.
In 2024, she released the single ‘Serial Monogamist’ as well as a cover of ‘Where Is My Mind’ by Pixies. Her main musical influences are 90s alt-rock bands such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nirvana, while her lyrical style is more akin to early Coldplay. Her biggest personal inspirations are the groundbreaking female singers of the early 2000s, such as Paramore’s Hayley Williams and No Doubt’s Gwen Stefani.
The Lake Tahoe-born artist had an early chance encounter in which she played her unreleased songs for Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder. He invited her to play at Ohana Festival, and inspired her to record her debut, Cough Drops, a live EP released in 2023.
Tickets have already sold out for many of the shows, in which 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.
His incredible 9-piece band consists of regular The Who collaborator Simon Townshend (guitar/ vocals) alongside John Hogg (bass), Doug Boyle (guitar), Steve Weston (harmonica), Jody Linscott (percussion), Billy Nicholls (BV), Katie Jacoby (violin), Geraint Watkins (keyboard), Scott Devours (drums).
While showcasing one of the most famous voices in rock, Daltrey will also give the audience the floor, as he takes on questions about his storied career.
Roger says: “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.”

ABOUT DALTREY
Inducted into the Rock and Hall of Fame with The Who in 1990, Daltrey received a Lifetime Achievement award from the Grammy Foundation along with the band in 2001. Daltrey and The Who co-founder Pete Townshend received Kennedy Center Honors in 2008. Considered to have one of the most recognizable singing voices of all time, Planet Rock listeners voted Daltrey Rock’s fifth-greatest voice in music history. He also received stellar reviews for his unique 2018 autobiography, Thanks a Lot Mr. Kibblewhite, with one critic describing it as how ‘the punk became rock’s Godfather…’ Known for his magnetic presence and rebellious creative spirit, Daltrey has also been an actor and film producer, with multiple roles in films, theatre, and television.
He’s released ten solo studio albums, including the acclaimed discs Daltrey, Ride a Rock Horse, One of the Boys, and the 2018 release As Long As I Have You, and such hit singles as “I’m Free,” “Giving It All Away,” “Without Your Love,” “Free Me” and “After the Fire.” His solo work has been compiled into two anthologies, Martyrs and Madmen (1997) and Moonlighting (2005). Queen Elizabeth awarded him a CBE for his service to music and charity in 2004.
In 2024, Daltrey bowed out as figurehead for the Teenage Cancer Trust after 24 years – during which time he raised around £34 million with star-studded concerts at the Royal Albert Hall. He remains Honorary Patron of the charity and an active campaigner on their behalf. The Who are playing the 2025 concert series on March 27 and 30.
