So what better way to mark your 80th birthday than having your own beer made for you by your family brewery!
Jamie, Des, Chris and all the crew at Lakedown Brewery, the company run on the Daltrey family farm and fishing lakes, got together and created a special beer exclusively for Roger to celebrate in style. This Lakedown 3.8% RPA is Roger’s favourite American Pale Ale loaded with Mosaic and Idaho 7 hops for a punchy and aromatic finish. But don’t expect to get your hands on a can of this exclusive beer. It was brewed especially for the guv’nor’ for his birthday.
This Year a Who tour has not yet been announced and is unlikely to take place, given the statements of Pete Townshend and Roger himself. But Daltrey, will be at Jacobs Park, San Diego, CA on 6 May 2024
Roger Daltrey will be at the Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, San Diego, CA on 6 May 2024 for a one-off night of solo songs, rare cuts and some Who favourites.
Roger’s band will consist of Frank Simes, guitars; Jon Button, bass; Loren Gold, keyboards; Scott Devours, drums and Katie Jacoby, violin.
Roger’s special guest for this momentous night will be the fabulous KT Tunstall.
Meanwhile Pete Townshend is going to Miss the Show Honoring Who Bandmate Roger Daltrey At Teen Age Cancer Trust Because of ‘Tommy’ Musical Revival’s Opening.
The 2024 Teenage Cancer Trust benefit concert series, held annually at the Royal Albert Hall in London, will wrap up with a previously announced March 24 show saluting The Who’s Roger Daltrey. Unfortunately, the singer’s Who bandmate Pete Townshend has revealed that he no longer will be taking part in the star-studded event.
The concert, dubbed Ovation, will celebrate the charity series’ 24-year history, while paying tribute to Daltrey, who is stepping away from his duties as the event’s main organizer after this year. Both Daltrey and Townshend had initially been announced as part of the performance lineup, along with Robert Plant, Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder, ex-Jam frontman Paul Weller, and Stereophonics singer Kelly Jones.
In a message posted on The Who’s social media sites, Townshend explained that he had to bow out of the show because he has previous commitments in New York City. “I love you Rog, knock ’em dead. See you soon for rehearsals.”
