Tickets on sale for Roger Waters 2022 tour

Posted April 8, 2021 by Floydian Slip

“This is Not a Drill,” the North American tour Roger Waters had announced before the pandemic hit in Spring 2020, has been rescheduled for ’22.

Tickets are on sale now for the 36 dates that begin in Pittsburgh July 6 and finish in Dallas Oct. 8.

In a statement, Waters calls this his “first farewell tour.”

“It is a stunning indictment of the corporate dystopia in which we all struggle to survive, and a call to action to love, protect, and share our precious and precarious planet home,” he writes.

“The show includes a dozen great songs from Pink Floyd’s Golden Era alongside several new ones — words and music, same writer, same heart, same soul, same man. Could be his last hurrah. Wow!”

These shows will be the first Roger has performed “in the round” with audience on all sides.

Tickets bought for 2020 will be valid for the new dates. Those ticket holders will receive an email with instructions.

“Delicate Sound of Thunder” coming to theaters

Posted August 20, 2020 by Floydian Slip

Trafalgar Releasing will present Pink Floyd‘s “Delicate Sound of Thunder” concert film in select theaters one night only, Oct. 15.

The film, directed by Wayne Isham, was first released on VHS in June 1989. DVD and Blu-ray versions came 30 years later in 2019.

This will be the first time the Grammy-nominated movie — for “Best Long Form Music Video” — will be shown in theaters.

“Delicate Sound of Thunder” is a document of the band’s A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour shot in August 1988 at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y. Additional footage was recorded two months earlier at the Place d’Armes of the Château de Versailles, France.

Trafalgar gave a similar treatment to Nick Mason‘s “Live at the Roundhouse” this spring, and Roger Waters‘s “Us + Them” in autumn 2019.

Tickets go on sale Aug. 27 at delicatesoundofthunder.com.

Addendum (Aug. 24, 2020): The Pink Floyd Facebook page states “The cinema release of Delicate Sound of Thunder will be postponed. More details to follow.”
