COMMENTS

David Gilmour has just added a pair of shows to his 2016 European tour for Rattle That Lock - the first ever seated concerts at the historic Circo Massimo (Circus Maximus) in Rome, Italy. The shows are part of the Postepay Rock in Roma festival. The concerts will take place on July 2nd and 3rd.

Tickets for Circus Maximus will be priced from €60 (subject to booking fees) and will go on sale on Thursday 7 April from www.davidgilmour.com at 10:00hrs CET. Please note tickets will be limited to 4 per person.

The Circus Maximus in Rome was built in the sixth century BC and was used as a race track for horse racing. Today it is a large public park, also used for concerts.

The official website for the event is RockInRoma.com.

WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD!

Do not read on if you don't want surprises to be spoilt, regarding what the band played!

One of a few truly historic venues on David's Rattle That Lock tour, and a night which concluded the pair of shows in Rome, in style. As ever, the Italian audience were enthusiastic and welcoming, and in terms of set, Astronomy Domine (performed on the first night) made way for One Of These Days again. Next stop, Pompeii...

We'd love to know in more detail how the concert went. Did you go? Let us know what YOU thought!
