Roger Waters Sets Rescheduled Tour Dates, Teases His ‘First Farewell Tour’

  • By Kory Grow

Roger Waters will embark on what he’s cheekily teasing as his “first farewell tour,” officially dubbed This Is Not a Drill, next summer. He was supposed to launch the trek last year, but pandemic lockdowns sidelined his plans. The new run of dates will kick off in Pittsburgh on July 6th, 2022.

Tickets are on sale now via RogerWaters.com . Those who held onto tickets for the 2020 dates will get an email with further information about the new dates. Those tickets will be valid for the new dates.

“This Is Not A Drill is a groundbreaking new rock & roll/cinematic extravaganza, performed in the round,” Waters wrote in a statement. “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. 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! My first farewell tour! Don’t miss it. Love, R.”

When Waters announced the tour last year , he promised an all-new production, following his Us + Them and the Wall tours, that would be presented in the round.

When he was originally planning it, he had timed it to run up to the 2020 election. “[The new tour] will be even more political than Us + Them was — political and humane,” Waters told Rolling Stone in 2019. “We were listening to songs and looking at setlists today. We were talking about, what should we call it? I shouldn’t be giving this away, but I don’t give a shit because it will probably all change, but imagine the iconic helicopter that normally comes before ‘Happiest Days’ and ‘Brick 2’ — that noise that we all know and love — and imagine a megaphone, somebody abused this device before, I know — but, ‘This is not a drill.’ I thought that could be a good title for the show: This Is Not a Drill. The ruling class is killing us.”

Roger Waters announces UK arena shows for his "first farewell tour"

Former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters will play three UK shows next year as part of his This Is Not A Drill world tour

RW on US TV

Roger Waters has announced three UK arena shows as part of his This Is Not A Drill world tour, a trek which Pink Floyd 's former leader has described, with tongue-in-cheek, as his "first farewell tour". 

Waters will launch his UK mini-tour in Birmingham on May 31 at the Utilita Arena, before moving on to Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on June 2 and performing at London’s The O2 on June 6.

The dates follow on from an extensive tour of Europe, set to commence on March 17 in Lisbon, Portugal.

Talking up the tour, Waters says, “This Is Not A Drill is a groundbreaking new rock and roll/cinematic extravaganza, performed in the round, 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.

“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, the same man. Could be his last hurrah. Wow! My first farewell tour! Don’t miss it."

Tickets for the UK dates go on sale on September 30, at 9am, on the LiveNation website .

Waters is currently on tour in the US.

In a recent interview , Waters talked about the introduction to the  This Is Not A Drill  shows, where a warning is displayed that reads, "If you're one of those 'I love Pink Floyd, but I can't stand Roger's politics' people, you might do well to fuck off to the bar right now. Thank you, and please enjoy the show."

Waters said that the message was a way of "setting things straight" before going on to say that, "It also encourages a lot of the people who've come to the show because they have listened to everything I've written since, you know, 1965 or wherever I started writing songs. So, they do know what my politics are and they do understand where my heart is and they understand sort of why I'm there."

Roger Waters - SOUTH AMERICA 2023

18th April 2023 – For one night only, Roger Waters, the creative force behind the golden years of Pink Floyd, presents his first Farewell Tour, “This Is Not a Drill”, Live from Prague, in cinemas around the world. This cinematic extravaganza is a stunning indictment of the corporate dystopia in which we all struggle to survive and will include 20 Pink Floyd and Roger Waters classic songs, including: “Us & Them”, “Another Brick In The Wall, Pt. 2”, “Wish You Were Here”, and “Is This The Life We Really Want?”. Waters will also debut his new song, “The Bar”.

29th March 2023 – A behind-the-scenes look at the production of Roger Waters current This Is Not A Drill Tour. The video is narrated by production manager Chris Kansy, who gives a detailed breakdown of the equipment and logistics used on Rogers current run of shows.

Roger Waters - This Is Not A Drill Tour (Behind Scenes).

27th February 2023 – The city of Frankfurt on Friday announced that it was canceling the forthcoming concert of former Pink Floyd vocalist Roger Waters scheduled for May 28th 2023

A statement from the Central Council of German further urged venues in Hamburg, Berlin, Munich and Cologne hosting Waters’ “This is Not A Drill 2023” tour to reconsider however at the moment of writing no further German dates have been cancelled.

25th September 2022 – R oger Waters’ concerts in Poland have been canceled after he commented on the war in Ukraine. Krakow City Council has said it will discuss declaring the Pink Floyd musician “persona non grata.”

Concerts by Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters have been canceled by a venue in the Polish city of Krakow, organizers said on Sunday after the artist’s comments on the war in Ukraine sparked a storm of criticism.

“Live Nation Polska and Tauron Arena Krakow have canceled Roger Waters’ concert,” organizers said in a statement on the venue’s website. However, they did not elaborate on the reason for the cancellation.

On Saturday, state news agency PAP reported that a spokesman for Tauron Arena said Waters’ management had canceled the concert without giving a reason.

Waters was due to perform in Krakow in April 2023, but Polish media reports of an open letter he wrote earlier this month to Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska sparked backlash.

In the letter, Waters said the West should stop providing arms to Ukraine, accusing President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of allowing “extreme nationalism” in Ukraine and urging him to “put an end to this deadly war.”

Poland counts itself among Kyiv’s most loyal allies, and public support for the Ukrainian cause is very high.

The Krakow city council is scheduled to debate a motion on Wednesday that would declare Waters “persona non grata.” One of the councillors, Lukasz Wantuch, had urged city residents to boycott the Waters concerts.

“Roger Waters, an open supporter of Putin, wants to play in Krakow … It would be shameful for our city,” Wantuch said earlier on social media. “Let him sing in Moscow.”

In a social media post, Waters denied that he or his management had canceled the concerts and criticized Wantuch, accusing him of “draconian censoring of my work.”

“Lukasz Wantuch seems to know nothing of my history of working, all my life, at some personal cost, in the service of human rights,” Waters said.

Paraphrasing the words of his hit single “Another Brick in the Wall”, Waters also wrote: “Hey! Lukasz Wantuch! ‘Leave them Kids Alone!'”.

He said he had only wanted to urge the countries involved “to work towards a negotiated peace rather than escalate matters towards a bitter end.”

Wantuch said in a Facebook post on Sunday morning that he was in Ukraine and would respond to Waters’ statement in the evening.

Roger Waters announces UK farewell dates

Catch the Pink Floyd icon on his "first ever farewell tour"

Pink Floyd legend Roger Waters is bringing his This Is Not a Drill Tour to the UK in May and June 2023.

Currently in the middle of his extensive North American trek, which was delayed two years due to the pandemic, the politically charged rocker has added the dates to his recently-announced European tour.

The three UK dates announced today are in Birmingham, Glasgow and London.

Tickets will go on general sale from Absolute Radio Tickets at 1pm on Friday 30th September

Roger Waters' farewell tour UK dates:

31st May 2023 – Birmingham Utilita Arena

2nd June 2023 – Glasgow OVO Hydro

6th June 2023 – London The O2

Waters last toured the UK in June and July 2018 when he played five UK arenas and BST Hyde Park as part of the Us + Them Tour.

When he first announced the This Is Not a Drill Tour, the 79-year-old indicated that it would be his swansong trek.

Watch: Roger Waters explains why he and David Gilmour fell out

"This Is Not A Drill is a groundbreaking new rock and roll, cinematic extravaganza, performed in the round,” Waters wrote.

“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.

“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! My first farewell tour! Don’t miss it. Love, R."

In other Pink Floyd news, the band's long-delayed remixed ‘Animals’ album was finally released on 16th September, after Waters and David Gilmour came to a resolution on a years-long disagreement about liner notes .

As the ‘Animals 2018 Remix’ title suggests, the remixed album has been in the can for some four years.

Alongside enhanced music, Pink Floyd’s ‘Animals 2018 Remix’ comes with ‘bleak’ new artwork created by Storm Thorgerson’s Hipgnosis partner Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell. Thorgerson made the original iconic ‘Animals’ sleeve of Battersea Power Station in London.

The worst original band names, including Pink Floyd:

Naked toddler (creed).

The jaw-droppingly atrocious band name was suggested by Mark Tremonti in the mid-nineties after he read a story in the press about an abducted child. Naively adopting it for their first gig at a club called Yanni's, Scott Stapp revealed in his 2012 autobiography that it quickly bombed: "The name didn't go over well. Girls hated it and said it made them think of paedophilia. They had a point." Quite.

Pen Cap Chew (Nirvana)

Having already been a member of Fecal Matter – aka Brown Towel – Kurt Cobain already had a history of hilariously bad band names before starting his new outfit with Krist Novoselic. After trialling a few dodgy names including Skid Row, Ted Ed Fred and, most notably, Pen Cap Chew, they had a eureka moment and settled on Nirvana. Kurt told Rolling Stone in 1992: "I wanted a name that was kind of beautiful or nice and pretty instead of a mean, raunchy punk name like the Angry Samoans." Good choice!

Mookie Blaylock (Pearl Jam)

Huge fans of the New York Jets basketball player Mookie Blaylock, the rockers decided to name their band in his honour. After playing a series of shows as Mookie Blaylock, they renamed themselves Pearl Jam in October '90 after signing to Epic Records. The origins of the name are somewhat cloudy, related either to Eddie Vedder's great grandmother Pearl / seeing Neil Young "jam" live / a naughty euphemism, depending on who you talk to... Mookie himself is said to be a big fan of Pearl Jam's music.

Feedback/The Hype (U2)

After the titular drummer posted a notice looking for band members at Mount Temple Comprehensive School, the resulting group were called The Larry Mullen Band "for about ten minutes" before Bono swept aside the idea. They opted for Feedback, after the screeching sound that came out of their amps, only to switch it for the decidedly pop band-esque The Hype in 1977. Eventually they settled on U2 for its "ambiguity and open-ended interpretations."

Rat Salad (Van Halen)

Originally called Genesis until they found out a certain British progressive rock band was using it, the band redubbed themselves Mammoth – only to discover that was being used too. Still predominately a covers band, the Van Halen brothers toyed with Rat Salad (after the Black Sabbath song) but Dave Lee Roth countered with their surname. Originally worried about it sounding self-absorbed, they were eventually persuaded to adopt it.

Polka Tulk Blues Band (Black Sabbath)

Imagine hearing Tony Iommi's opening riffs on Black Sabbath's debut album and finding out it was by the Polka Tulk Blues Band. Fortunately they abandoned the name in the late 60s with a scathing Iommi telling Ozzy: "Every time I hear it, all I can picture is you, with your trousers around your ankles, taking a f***ing dump. It's crap." Black Sabbath was partially inspired by the Boris Karloff film of the same name, a vision Geezer Butler had, and the work of occult novelist Dennis Wheatley.

Tony Flow and the Miraculously Majestic Masters of Mayhem (Red Hot Chili Peppers)

Formed at Fairfax High School in 1983, Anthony Kiedis, Hillel Slovak, Flea and Jack Irons gave themselves the gloriously ridiculous name Tony Flow and the Miraculously Majestic Masters of Mayhem. According to Kiedis, the name was intended to reflect the "majestic and chaotic" nature of the band. After two shows as Tony Flow… in November of '83 the group opted for the comparatively normal moniker Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Village Idiots (Nickelback)

Then a covers band that pilfered from Metallica and Megadeth's back catalogue, in the mid-1990s Chad Kroeger, Ryan Peake, Mike Kroeger and Brandon Kroeger called themselves the Village Idiots. Realising it would make them cannon fodder on the bigger stage; they later changed it to Nickelback in reference to the nickel in change Mike often gave his customers while working at Starbucks – "Here's your nickel back."

The Golliwogs (Creedence Clearwater Revival)

Originally named The Blue Velvets, when the band recorded some tracks for Fantasy Records in 1964, label co-owner Max Reiss decided to change it to The Golliwogs after the controversial minstrel doll of the same name. Late rhythm guitarist Tom Fogarty said: "I think, at least to Max anyway, 'Golliwogs' sounded sort of British. We always hated the name but Max owned the label and we were new and wanted very much to make records, so we went along with things." Three years later the name was thankfully dropped.

Screaming Abdabs (Pink Floyd)

The music legends are formed from the ashes of a band that had a series of bizarre transitory names. First called Sigma 6 (there were six members including Roger Waters, Richard Wright and Nick Mason), in 1964 they adopted a series of short-lived but gloriously ridiculous names including Leonard's Lodgers, the Meggadeaths and the Screaming Abdabs. A year later Syd Barratt coined Pink Floyd after finding inspiration from the Piedmont blues musicians Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

Wicked Lester (KISS)

Ditching their Rainbow moniker when they discovered there was already another band with the name, in 1971 the group renamed themselves Wicked Lester. During their brief existence the folk/pop/rock group played in public just twice before Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley decided to delve into rock and roll and recruit new members. With Ace Frehley on board by Christmas '72 they changed their name to KISS and played their first live show a month later. Find out more about Wicked Lester in our A-Z of KISS .

Rocket Baby Dolls (Muse)

When Matt Bellamy and Dominic Howard's former band Gothic Plague (surprisingly not a death metal group) split following a series of rifts, they enlisted new bassist Chris Wolstenholme and changed their name to Rocket Baby Dolls. Soon realising it was turgid, after just one gig – their triumphant battle of bands performance at Broadmeadow Sports Centre in Teignmouth in 1994 – they switched it for Muse.

Maggie Rogers Adds Fall 2024 Tour Dates

By Matthew Strauss

Maggie Rogers

Maggie Rogers has announced the second part of her Don’t Forget Me Tour . The second leg takes place in October and November. See all of Rogers’ tour dates below.

Tickets to a handful of Rogers’ shows are available exclusively in-person at box offices. She explained in a press statement:

On the last album, Surrender , I decided to go old school and sell tickets in-person in an effort to reduce fees, combat bots, and get tickets directly into the hands of fans. That process was so fun; this year, I’m hosting “Box Office Week,” where I’ve set some special prices for fans who want to come purchase tickets in person. Here’s how it’s going to work… from April 13th to April 20th, in every city where I’m playing an arena this fall, you can go to the local box office to choose your seats and buy your ticket for a special in-person price. You can find all the exact information for your city HERE . In NYC, Philly, Boston, and Chicago, I’m going to be in person selling tickets directly to you at the box office. After the box office day festivities, I’ll be playing a show that very same night in those four cities where me and my band will perform Don’t Forget Me for the very first time.

Rogers’ new album, Don’t Forget Me , is out tomorrow, Friday, April 12.
