Roger Daltry to bring 'Tommy' to GuilFest

Friday night Main Stage headliner Roger Daltrey leads the latest acts to be announced for this summer's family friendly GuilFest which takes place at Stoke Park, Guilford in Surrey.

Founder and frontman of The Who, the iconic rock legend Roger Daltrey has been confirmed to headline the Main Stage at GuilFest on Friday 15th July 2011. Roger will be performing The Who's legendary rock opera 'Tommy' from start to finish, as well as a variety of Who Classics and more!

'Tommy' is one of the most acclaimed and defining works of the rock era, it is an enduring album that resonates on radio to this day where it has found multi-generational appeal. As lead singer of The Who, one of the most influential rock bands of all time, Roger has notched up over 100 million record sales - including ten UK top 10 studio albums and thirteen UK top 10 singles, such as seminal classics 'My Generation', 'Pinball Wizard', and 'Happy Jack' amongst many others; as well as scoring four UK top 40 studio albums as a solo artist in his own right.

At the same time as the musical legend appears on the main stage, another music icon Adam Ant And The Good The Mad And The Lovely Posse, will be headlining The Good Time Guide Stage on Friday 15th July. Leader of New Wave/post-punk group Adam and the Ants, Adam returns to the live circuit for the first time in over 15 years and with his new band line up is sure to play a greatest hits set which includes 'Prince Charming', 'Antmusic', 'Stand and Deliver' and 'Goody Two Shoes'. As well as being a multi-million selling artist, Adam has also had a very successful acting career, having appeared in over 20 films and television shows and was once voted sexiest man in America by the viewers of television channel MTV.

Also announced today are hardcore Punks Gallows who will be headlining The Rock Cave Stage on Sunday 17th July. Their latest album, 'Grey Britain' has been very well received, hitting the top 20 in the UK album charts – a feat not achieved by many other hardcore bands. Gallows have become known for their full on live performances and organisers are expecting them to blow the roof off The Rock Cave at GuilFest this summer.
