Roger Daltrey, the frontman for the legend rock band The Who, is headed out on the road this summer.

Alone. Sort of.

That’s right, Daltrey is reportedly set to go out on a “mostly acoustic” solo tour which is set to begin in June.

His plans were first revealed in a post on the band’s Instagram account.

“Roger Daltrey will be returning to the States on a special solo tour this June, presenting a mostly acoustic set of Who gems, rarities, solo nuggets and other surprises with an intimae rock-based band an setting as well as answering questions from the audience.

“The unique venues and amphitheaters Daltrey has chosen for his summer run will showcase Roger’s acoustic interpretations of his extraordinary canon of Who songs and solo work.”

While it is a solo tour, Daltrey reportedly has plenty of surprises planned, and he won’t be all alone on stage. Among those reportedly slated to participate as special guests are Kt Tunstall and Dan Bern.

And, for folks in Pa. who are interested in seeing the show, it will have a couple stops within relative driving distance. The tour will start on June 12 in Vienna, Virginia, and then Daltrey will play in Niagara Falls on June 14.

He also reportedly has stops planned for Bethel, Port Chester, Boston, Lenox, Detroit and Indianapolis before the tour wraps in Highland Park.
