This morning, Roger Waters announced the return of the historic production of "The Wall" to Europe in 2013. His aural and visual masterpiece of alienation and transformation will be performed in its entirety featuring the full band and state-of-the-art production. "The Wall" live has played 192 shows around the world to more than 3.3 million fans making it one of the most successful tours in rock history.

The 2013 tour as announced - and shown below - consists of 18 open air/stadium shows, to include such iconic venues as Rome Olympic Stadium, Amsterdam Arena and Berlin Olympic Stadium, etc., as well as two Oslo Telenor Arena concerts. An exclusive presale for The Wall 2013 will be held through RogerWaters.com. To participate, go to www.RogerWaters.com now to sign up. Public sale tickets for The Wall 2013 go on sale on November 16th for selected dates.

Roger said: "I'm extremely glad to be playing The Wall in Europe again. It's going to be a lot of fun for all of us. I've reworked the show to play outdoors in large stadiums. It's really good. Even more moving, engaging, dramatic and thrilling than the Arena shows. I've had to rethink the whole thing about stadiums. This wide wall stadium show couldn't have been done 40 years ago. We couldn't have filled the space in a way that would have been emotionally, musically and theatrically satisfying. Technology has changed. Now we can."

Roger Waters will be talking about the tour via a special web cast on RogerWaters.com and Facebook.com/rogerwaters on Thursday 15th November from 12:30pm UK time, when more dates will be announced.
