    The Who's Roger Daltrey really doesn’t like when you look up concert setlists

    The Who frontman Roger Daltrey has some pretty strong feelings about concert-goers who look up setlists before the show -- and he recently shared those feelings during a sit-down with Billboard .

    While speaking about his upcoming solo North American Tour of “semi-acoustic” shows, Daltrey absolutely refused to offer up any of the tracks he plans to perform, going on to rant about how the internet has “ruined” concerts for him.

    “Too many people reveal songs. There’s no surprises left with concerts these days," he said "’cause everybody wants to see the setlist. I’m f***ing sick of it. The Internet’s ruined the live shows for me. Who wants to know what’s coming next? People forget about surprises. I can’t stand it.”

    When the Billboard interviewer suggested that knowing the setlist might be useful to plan for a bathroom break, Daltrey replied with a laugh, “Why not just start to listen to the bloody show in the toilet, then?”

    Daltrey has already begun his run of solo shows, the next of which will be in Vienna, VA, making various stops across North America, before concluding in Highland Park, IL on June 29.
