Roger Waters Announces ‘Us + Them Tour’

The tour title alone should be an indication of what Waters is planning.  “Us + Them” is one of the tracks on Pink Floyd’s mega-selling 1973 album, Dark Side Of The Moon.

Unlike Waters’ previous tour playing Pink Floyd’s The Wall album in its entirety, the 2017 outing will be broader in scope.

“We are going to take a new show on the road, the content is very secret,” Waters said.  “It’ll be a mixture of stuff from my long career, stuff from my years with Pink Floyd, some new things.  Probably 75 percent of it will be old material and 25 percent will be new, but it will be all connected by a general theme.  It will be a cool show, I promise you.  It’ll be spectacular like all my shows have been.”

West Coast fans still have a couple of chances to see Waters perform live in 2016.  He plays the second weekend of the “Desert Trip” music festival in Indio, Calif., Oct. 16, and appears at the Bridge School Benefit at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, Calif., Oct. 22-23.
