COMMENTS Roger's tour of The Wall arrives in Belgium, with a show at a venue that Roger has been in a few times, both as a solo artist and while he was still a part of Pink Floyd. Our thanks to Marc-Olivier Becks for the ticket scan shown to the right. The RogerWaters.com presales began the week starting Monday, May 31st, with advance tickets available to those who had registered their interest in particular cities. General sale tickets went on sale on June 4th, through LiveNation.be. The public sale will also see a limited number of VIP packages made available for each show on the tour.
WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD! Do not read on if you don't want surprises to be spoilt, regarding what the band played, and what happened as the night unfolded! Night thirty-eight of the tour, and the fears of the ash cloud from the volcano in Iceland, which has affected movement in Europe over the last few days (and some transatlantic traffic too), would stop Roger, the band, and his crew taking the production to Antwerp, proved unfounded. They reached the venue in good time to set up for another great show. If you went to this show in Antwerp, please let us know what you thought of the event, and if anything interesting or different happened if you've been to previous shows and can compare.
