Roger Waters UK Return

Roger Waters, the co-founder and principal songwriter of the archetypal progressive band Pink Floyd, has announced the return of the historic production of "The Wall” at London’s Wembley Stadium on 14 September 2013, plus 24 dates in Europe during 2013. His aural and visual masterpiece of alienation and transformation will be performed in its entirety featuring a full band and state-of-the-art production. "The Wall” live has played 192 shows around the world to more than 3.3 million fans making it one of the most successful tours in rock history.

"I’m extremely glad to be playing The Wall in Europe again. It’s going to be a lot of fun for all of us. I’ve reworked the show to play outdoors in large stadiums. It’s...Even more moving, engaging, dramatic and thrilling than the Arena shows. I’ve had to rethink the whole thing about stadiums. This wide wall stadium show couldn't have been done 40 years ago. We couldn'thave filled the space in a way that would have been emotionally, musically and theatrically satisfying.  Technology has changed. Now we can" said Waters.

Prior to 2010, "The Wall” show was simply too large to contemplate a tour, but new arenas and advances in touring technology have solved that dilemma. Waters has updated the look and feel of the show to ensure it matches the astonishing theatrical extravaganza that The Wall’s live incarnation became so legendary for, allowing yet another generation to be inspired by the grandeur of the breath taking visual and aural spectacle. The 1980 original production of the "The Wall” had been performed live in its entirety just 29 times; during Pink Floyd’s 1980 tour in support of the album, and once in Berlin in celebration of the fall of the Berlin wall.
