 WELCOME TO THE 26th YEAR OF BRAIN DAMAGE, YOUR PINK FLOYD, DAVID GILMOUR, NICK MASON, SYD BARRETT, RICHARD WRIGHT AND ROGER WATERS NEWS RESOURCE!
It's 2025! This year sees the 50th anniversary of Wish You Were Here, which is an incredible thought; where does the time go?!
The stunningly restored and remixed Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, digital and cinema screenings are now here - with some more cinema screenings in selected places. However you experience it, it is NOT to be missed!
There's also been three Record Store Day releases released on April 12th, from David Gilmour, Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets, and Roger Waters which are also definitely worth tracking down, either in a participating store, or online, now that RSD has finished.
Last year, David Gilmour's superb new album, Luck and Strange, was released in a variety of formats, and a selection of coloured vinyls. A limited number of concert dates thrilled crowds in Brighton and London, England, Rome, Italy, and Los Angeles and New York, USA. Rome shows were filmed for release at some point...watch this space!
The Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets 2024 Set The Controls tour revealed a band in even better form than the 2022/23 shows which managed to exceed everyone's hopes and expectations! Our sincerest hopes are that they continue, but in the meantime, there's the RSD release, and the earlier live recording from London's Roundhouse on Blu-ray, DVD/2CD, and 2LP which is really excellent.
Of course, Roger Waters read three extracts from his memoirs in October 2023 at the London Palladium, so it might not be too long before that is published...he's also working on his new album based around The Bar - we'll let you know as soon as we get all the info! Before all that though is the release of Roger Waters This Is Not A Drill Live In Prague on 4LP vinyl, Blu-ray, DVD, 2CD and digital on August 1st!

Hot on the tail of the now-announced appearance of Roger Waters at the Lisbon Rock In Rio Festival,
in Portugal on June 2nd, comes appearances elsewhere across Europe -
although none of which have yet been officially confirmed by Roger's
management.
We have details of the latest
appearances which seem to be happening, and understand that Roger is
due to perform some FIFTEEN or so festivals throughout Europe this
summer! Set lengths are due to vary from show to show, but the Lisbon
performance is due to last around two hours.

| Norwegian Wood Festival 2006 |
Firstly, an article in
yesterday's edition of highly respected German newspaper, "Sueddeutsche
Zeitung", claims that Roger Waters will stage a very special rendition
of the Pink Floyd classic "Dark Side Of The Moon" in Berlin on June 8th. They state that Roger wants to stage a unique audio show of the concept
album at the Berlin “Wuhlheide”. He deliberately chose a relatively small venue, with only 17,000
spectators.
The performance is planned to be
a previously unheard “extended version” of the concept, which he was
not able to realize in the early 70’s due to technical reasons. It is
supposed to be the main part of a concert where other songs by Roger
Waters and Pink Floyd will also be played.
Another show has been mentioned by the Dutch Progressive Rock Pages website, which states that Roger will be playing the Arrow Rock Festival in Lichtenvoorde, the Netherlands, on June 9th. The festival's website
makes no mention of Roger, but does make it clear that not all acts
have been announced yet. Those that have, include Deep Purple, Status
Quo, and Journey.
Finally, Norwegian state TV channel NRK report on their site that Roger Waters has been confirmed to appear at the annual Norwegian Wood Festival in Oslo, on its first day, June 14th.
During the concert Roger will perform classic Pink Floyd songs,
alongside a complete performance (although it is not clear if it is the
extended version) of "Dark Side of the Moon".
Tickets for this Festival are not on sale yet, and more information can be found at the festival website.
So, the current schedule (assuming these dates are correct) is as follows:
- 2 June - Rock In Rio, Lisbon, Portugal
- 8 June - Wuhlheide, Berlin, Germany
- 9 June - Arrow Rock, Lichtenvoorde, Netherlands
- 14 June - Norwegian Wood, Oslo, Norway
We are hoping to get official
confirmation from Roger's manager of these dates, along with any
others, this week. More as we get it.
Our thanks to everyone who has
written in with info, but particularly to Tor Kristiansen and Fabian
Piller. If YOU hear of any news about Roger's appearance near you,
please let us know!
