Just announced are the details of the new Roger Waters project: Legacy - A Pink Floyd Show, which sees Roger and his son Harry team up for a new touring production. You may recall back in April there was a call put out by Roger for a vocalist for the band (which resulted in more than 3000 submissions!). Dates in the US and Canada have been announced with most of the tickets going on sale on Friday (October 2nd) although some might already be on sale, and the details are shown below.
To explain the project, here's the official description: "The father's legacy. The son's band. The music that defined a generation. AEG Presents and ICON LIVE today announced Roger Waters Presents LEGACY - A Pink Floyd Show, an all-new live production created under the direction of Roger Waters with a band led by his son Harry Waters, a longtime touring musician, pianist, and composer. An extensive tour will launch in February 15, 2027 and visit more than 100 cities in North America and Europe. Celebrating the defining music and visual world of Pink Floyd's golden era from 1971-1979, LEGACY brings together a world-class 10-piece band performing selections from The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall. The new stage presentation shaped by Roger's team features a pictorial retrospective of stunning imagery inspired by the original Pink Floyd work, with visuals that the father created during his tenure as the creative force in Pink Floyd. While Harry the son serves as musical director and leads the band on B3 organ, piano, and vocals, all this is presented on hi-def LED video screens. Tickets for the North American tour dates go on sale October 2, but some dates are now on presale so don't delay! European dates will be announced soon. For more information, visit RogerWatersLegacy.com.
"These songs have meant so much to so many people for so many years, and I'm excited for audiences to come together and experience them live again," says Roger Waters. "Harry has assembled a terrific band, and I can't wait for fans around the world to see the special show we've created together."
"I fell in love with the music immediately," says Harry. "It really had an impact on me, irrespective of any bias because it was Dad's music. I still love it deeply to this day. Collaborating with Dad on this new production is such an honour, and I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to bring this music to fans old and new, around the world."
Harry's connection to the music began long before he became a professional musician. As a child, his voice appeared on Pink Floyd's The Wall on "Goodbye Blue Sky," and he recalls witnessing the original The Wall production while still very young. He later spent more than 15 years performing alongside his father on major tours, including The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, as well as the 2016 Desert Trip concerts.
Musically, the production aims to recreate the original recordings as closely as possible. "We are going to authentically recreate the albums as close to note-for-note as we possibly can," Harry said. Beyond recreating the sound, Harry says LEGACY is intended to reconnect audiences with the ideas at the heart of the music.

45 years ago, Pink Floyd performed The Wall for the last time, in London. The end of an era and at the same time the beginning of a turbulent decade. A fitting subject for a new book about the album and associated concerts. The book has just been published and is selling well, hence this reminder for those of you who are yet to order your copy.
In the Dutch language book Aangenaam Verdoofd - Bedevaart Naar The Wall (which translates to COMFORTABLY NUMB – PILGRIMAGE TO THE WALL), Charles Beterams and Wouter Bessels describe the complex origin story of the album and the film and the overwhelming impact that the – no more than 31 – concerts have on the visitors. Pink Floyd didn't include The Netherlands on their schedule for The Wall shows. The devoted Dutch followers had to do their utmost to get their hands on the scarce tickets for concerts in London and Dortmund. They become, without having foreseen it, part of a historical journey, a pilgrimage to The Wall in 1980 and 1981. Upon their return, there are the stories, concert reports in the newspapers, and – secretly taken – photos.
That history is now captured for the first time in a 120-page richly illustrated book. The authors spoke with concertgoers and other involved parties and uncovered a lot of unique and previously unpublished footage.
In the years that follow, Roger Waters remains inextricably linked to the album, even after the film's release in 1982. It is therefore not surprising that a reprise follows in Berlin in 1990 after a turbulent decade in which everything seems to be overshadowed by The Wall. The book concludes with a detailed description of the particulars of the 31 concerts and a discography.
Aangenaam Verdoofd - Bedevaart Naar The Wall has been released as a luxury hardcover edition. 120 pages on 170-gram paper, size 22 x 22 cm. There are two options available: a limited, numbered, and one-time Regular Edition of 600 copies. They put aside 100 copies of that which are available as a Signature Edition in a luxury magnetic box with foil printing, containing a signed copy of the book and exclusively a printed silk-like retro scarf as was also sold at the concerts back then.
Both versions are now available for order - while stocks last - from Floydstuff.com who are the exclusive stockists of this book. Those who have seen their previous books will know that they are very well designed and produced, and are well worth adding to your Floydian bookshelves!

Just announced: Pink Floyd are releasing a new San Tropez Orange Marble vinyl edition of their landmark 1971 album Meddle, for this year's National Album Day, via Sony Music. It will be in stores/online from October 17th, 2026 while stocks last, and ordering links are below.
National Album Day is an annual celebration in the UK, with this year's theme celebrating music "Icons" – encompassing legendary, cultural and contemporary artists and recordings.
A pivotal moment in the band's development, Meddle was the sixth studio album by the British rock group, originally released in 1971. Produced between touring commitments and widely regarded as a notable progression from their previous work, the band devised a series of novel recording and writing experiments, which also inspired the album's signature track, Echoes.
Echoes immediately became an enduring fan favourite, regularly played live during the busy five year period of 1971 - 1975, and featured heavily in Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii, with the song split into two halves, to bookend the movie. Echoes was resurrected at the start of the 1987 A Momentary Lapse Of Reason tour for the first eleven shows that year, then for David Gilmour's 2006 On An Island tour Echoes closed the main set of each show. Sixteen years later, Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets added Echoes to their set to much acclaim. Echoes is seen as one of the key musical pieces from the band's earlier period, with Meddle a key, essential album. The man behind the Saucers concept - Lee Harris - is performing Meddle in full next March in a set of three gigs at the Half Moon in Putney, London, with fellow Saucer Dom Beken, along with Yaron Stavi and Ged Lynch.
Alongside this, it's also been announced that a newly restored high-resolution version of the iconic Echoes sequence from cult-classic 1973 surf film Crystal Voyager will be available via Pink Floyd's YouTube channel on the same date, October 17th.
ORDERING INFORMATION: As this is a UK-only limited edition release, you can order it from Rough Trade who ship internationally, HMV.com, and
Amazon UK, as well as other participating UK record stores. It is possible that retailers in other countries may have stock but this doesn't normally happen with these releases.
