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.”
Roger will be appearing at Glasgow's SEC Armadillo on Monday 28th April and Edinburgh's Usher Hall on Wednesday 30th April.
