COMMENTS

Due to the critical success of the four initial shows in May 2018, held in tiny venues in London's Camden and Putney, Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets announced a full European tour for September that year. The expanded shows for the full tour were even more highly acclaimed, and it came as no surprise when further dates for 2019 were announced. The insatiable demand for more dates, in more locations, has resulted in the band carrying on from where they left off, with shows for 2020 taking the music to new fans, as well as those who have already experienced the show, eager for more!

Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets brings together some familiar names, all great musicians: joining Nick are Gary Kemp and Lee Harris on guitars, Guy Pratt on bass, and Dom Beken on keyboards. Kemp is best known for his work with Spandau Ballet, Harris as having played guitar with The Blockheads (Ian Dury's band), Pratt needs no introduction, and Beken is principally known for his work with The Orb, and Transit Kings (with Pratt). The band will be playing early Pink Floyd songs.

This is a unique opportunity to experience Pink Floyd's celebrated and significant early body of work played live including songs from albums 'The Piper At The Gates of Dawn' and 'A Saucerful Of Secrets'.

The regular sale of tickets starts on FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6th 2019 at 10am (UK time), via Eventim.de, and the venues itself.

UPDATE, 18th March: Due to the COVID-19/Coronavirus pandemic, this concert, along with the others on the 2020 tour, has been re-scheduled; tickets remain valid for the new date so there should be no need to contact the venue for clarification or to change the ticket. At this stage, the revised date has not been confirmed but we are expecting this very shortly, and will update this page accordingly. 

UPDATE, 11th May: This concert has now been rescheduled into 2021, and tickets remain valid for this new date.  

UPDATE, 11th June 2021: The concert has now moved to July 2nd, 2022. As before, tickets remain valid for the new date.

UPDATE, 10th June 2022: The concert has now moved location, from Insel Grafenwerth in Bad Honnef, to E-Werk, a former power station, in Köln (Cologne). As before, tickets remain valid for the new date, and tickets for the new location are still available through Eventim.de.

WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD!

Do not read on if you don't want surprises to be spoilt, regarding what the band played!

And so to Cologne, which very recently was forced to undergo a venue change. Hopefully the different nature of E-Werk didn't affect too many members of the audience adversely. Early reports are that the band remain on top form. Did you go to this show? Let us know!

Tomorrow, the band have a day off, in part travelling to Munich for their show there.
