In more tour news this morning, Roger Waters has expanded his 2022 This Is Not A Drill tour by adding three dates to the schedule in new locations, albeit two of the venues are ones he performed in for his 2017 Us And Them tour, so will be familiar to him and his band. The other venue (in Austin, Texas) is currently under construction.

The tour was originally due to take place in 2020, until the pandemic put a stop to those plans. The show is a new production and is going to be an "in the round" performance, with the staging in the middle of the venue, and the audience sat on all sides of the stage. It is going to be fascinating to see how Roger approaches this format, and how the show will be staged, as there is no traditional front, back or sides of the stage/performance area normally.

As it stands, the tour is only taking place in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Whilst there are an awful lot of fans worldwide who are hoping that Roger adds their location to what could well be his final tour, at this stage there is no hint that this will happen. We will keep you posted in case that situation changes.

Tickets for the three new shows go on sale next Friday, March 25th, at 10am local time, although check the direct links below as some of them have presale information too:
