Last night, London's Hyde Park (scene of Live8 a year before), saw another great performance from Roger Waters and his band, aided and abetted by Nick Mason, who added his drumming expertise to the performance of Pink Floyd's 1973 classic, Dark Side Of The Moon.

You can find out more about this show on our London show page.

At the show, we found out that Nick is now due to perform at some more shows on Roger's current tour.

Whilst this is not necessarily an exhaustive list, as other shows could be added, Nick is now due to perform at the following forthcoming shows:

  • 12 July - Lucca, Italy
  • 14 July - Magny-Cours, Nevers, France
  • 12/13 September - MSG, New York, USA
  • 5/6/8 October - Hollywood Bowl, LA, USA
  • As part of his tour, Roger is also publicising a new charity initiative. Millennium Promise is an organization co-founded by Dr Jeffrey Sachs dedicated to fighting malaria, and ending extreme povery in the world by the year 2025. Every 10 seconds, a child dies from malaria. 300,000,000 to 500,000,000 people contract malaria each year. The charity aims to get donations of $10 which buys a bed net - which in itself can save two lives.

    More details of the charity, and how to donate, can be found at www.millenniumpromise.org, and details of Roger's own commitment will soon be on his own site - roger-waters.com.
