Pink Floyd 1968 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.

Roger Waters announced for June festival in Portugal

Written by Matt

Tuesday, 07 February 2006

Fans of Roger Waters should head for Bela Vista Park in the heart of Lisbon, Portugal, where the musician will be playing his first live concert since the Live 8 reunion with his old bandmates, Pink Floyd.

Roger Waters, appearing at Rock In Rio-Lisboa

The concert, on June 2nd, is part of the Rock In Rio 2006 Festival - the largest music event in the world. Roger has visited Portugal before, playing his "In The Flesh" show there in 2002.

As in the previous editions, the organization behind the festival will donate part of the revenues to several charities.

Apart from Roger, some of the most notable names in the Portuguese and International music scene will be present during the five days of the festival. Attendance is expected to be more than 500,000 people, with about 100,000 people every day on average.

Tickets are not yet on sale, although if you are not able to make it over to Portugal for the concert, all is not lost.

Network LIVE, a joint venture between AOL, XM Satellite Radio and AEG, announced recently that the company has secured exclusive rights for Rock in Rio, the world’s largest multi-day music event. The agreement provides Network LIVE with the exclusive US and international sales and rights for all broadcast and media partners, outside of Portugal and Brazil.

This will be the first year that Rock in Rio will also be made available for licensing to all broadcast distribution platforms including (where applicable) Internet, wireless/mobile, satellite and terrestrial radio and television, and on a global basis. So, Roger's fans across the world will hopefully be able to tune in to the show.

All the information you might need about Rock in Rio-Lisboa can be found at the official website at rockinrio-lisboa.sapo.pt.

Our thanks to José Mendes, Nuno Miguel Gil Fonseca, and Carlos Sardinha for their help in bringing this story to you.
