More ‘Wall’ For Select Cities

Overwhelming demand has enticed Roger Waters to add more concert stops in Boston, Chicago, Oakland and Los Angeles.

Waters’ upcoming tour featuring a complete beginning-to-end rendition of the classic Pink Floyd album The Wall begins Sept. 15 in Toronto. Having already added extra shows in several markets, the tour is upping the ante once again, as it adds Sept. 24 in Chicago at United Garden, Oct. 3 in Boston at TD Garden, Dec. 3 in Oakland at Oracle Arena and Dec. 5 in Los Angeles at Staples Center.

For those of you following along on your own scorecards at home, today’s additions bring the number of shows scheduled for Los Angeles to three, Chicago four and Boston three. While Waters already has two shows scheduled for San Jose, the new date announced for neighboring Oakland is the first Wall date for the East Bay city.

It’s a similar situation in southern California. In addition to Waters’ three gigs at Staples, the artist has two shows scheduled for neighboring Anaheim, giving So. Cal. fans five separate Wall opportunities.
