 WOW - it's now the 27th YEAR of Brain Damage, your Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Syd Barrett, Richard Wright and Roger Waters news resource!
Marking the 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd's iconic 1975 album, a range of Wish You Were Here 50 celebratory editions: deluxe box set, blu-ray, 3LP set, 2CD set and coloured vinyl single LPs came out at the end of last year. Full details here. The LA 1975 concert, recorded by Mike Millard and remastered by Steven Wilson, came out as a standalone item on 4LP for Record Store Day, and 2CD across most of the world.
The stunningly restored and remixed Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, and digital was also released in 2025 - and is NOT to be missed. As is the 4K UltraHD edition out now!
Also last year, celebrating the concerts to coincide with David Gilmour's album, Luck and Strange, cinema/IMAX screenings, and a book, 2Blu-ray, 3DVD, 4LP, 2CD and deluxe box set options were also released and are getting very high praise.
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 their 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 much longer 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 which is out now.

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!
