Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp will celebrate its 30th anniversary next year with a very special guest: The Who frontman Roger Daltrey.
The camp, which will take place Jan. 29-Feb. 1, 2026, will also include The Who’s Simon Townshend. Daltrey has joined the camp six times previously, but not for the last 15 years.
“I love it because it reminds you of where you came from,” Daltrey says. “It’s about having fun!”
“It’s an honor to celebrate 30 years of Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp with Roger Daltrey,” says David Fishof, founder of the camp. “This camp is about inspiring musicians and giving fans an opportunity to share the stage with their heroes. To have members of The Who join us for this milestone makes it truly historic.”
Since its founding in 1996, Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp has brought together aspiring musicians of all levels with rock legends for mentorship, jam sessions and live performances.
Attendees will perform with Daltrey and Townshend, as well as perform two shows at local Miami venues, including The Funky Biscuit.
The camp will also include an array of rock-star counselors who will host masterclasses, Q&As, jam sessions and mentoring. Joining Daltrey and Townshend are Tony Franklin (The Firm), Jimmy Vivino (Conan O’Brien), Gary Hoey, Eva Gardner (P!nk), Joel Hoekstra (White Snake), Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath), Derek St. Holmes (Ted Nugent), Joe Vitale (Joe Walsh) and Britt Lightning (Vixen).
Building up to the 30th anniversary will be three camps later this year: Alice Cooper and Judas Priest’s Rob Halford will headline two camps in Phoenix in November, while a December camp also in Miami will feature The Rascals’ Felix Cavaliere, Grand Funk Railroad’s Mark Farner, Chicago’s Jason Scheff and Billy Joel’s Liberty DeVitto.
The camps are open to musicians of all levels, who are evaluated beforehand to make sure they are placed in the appropriate band.
The Who are currently on its The Song Is Over-North American Farewell Tour, which concludes Sept. 28 in Las Vegas.
