With tickets for the latest addition to Roger Waters' 2006 summer tour of Europe (at London's Hyde Park) now on sale, we have an update on ticketing for a couple of other shows on the tour. We also have Roger's reply to the critics of his Israeli show...

We reported the other day that tickets for the Reykjavik, Iceland, show were due to go on sale on Tuesday. The promoter of this show got in touch with us, advising that although they were due to start selling on March 7th, the sale has been delayed - and they are now going on sale on March 15th.

Tickets will be going on sale for this venue through Midi.is and visindi.is/waters.

Turning to the seemingly controversial Tel Aviv concert on June 20th, we've now heard that tickets can be bought through Leaan tickets, who have them for sale now. The ticket agency we were told about - TicketNet.co.il - will be selling tickets soon. Tickets from both outlets cost 375NIS.
