Set to take place from November 20 to November 22 at Parque Ibirapuera in São Paulo, Brazil, this festival promises to be a gathering of musical legends from the rock and blues genres.
The announcement of Daltrey’s performance at the festival was made via The Who’s official Instagram account, teasing fans with a lineup that is definitely “worth the wait.” The event will feature a star-studded roster, with other performers slated to join Daltrey on November 21 including Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Eddie Vedder, Chris Isaak, Glen Hansard, Samuel Rosa, Vitor Kley, and Artur Menezes.
This Brazilian appearance is just one of many for Daltrey this year as he embarks on an active touring schedule.

Since bursting onto the scene in the 1960s as the lead singer of The Who, Daltrey, alongside bandmates Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon, has left an indelible mark on the music industry. With electrifying live performances and groundbreaking albums like “Tommy,” “Who’s Next,” and “Quadrophenia,” The Who solidified their status as pioneers of classic rock, with Daltrey’s powerful vocals serving as the band’s sonic signature.
In light of The Who’s recent farewell tour in North America, Daltrey’s solo shows have taken on added significance, allowing fans to bask in the musical legacy of one of rock’s most enduring figures.
