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 tickets going on sale on Friday (October 2nd), and 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. 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.
The show spanning more than two hours reaches deep into Pink Floyd's catalogue. Harry and drummer Graham Broad shaped the set list together, paying tribute to the best loved music from the golden era of Pink Floyd, and building what Harry describes as an intentional arc across the evening. For Harry, some selections carry particular meaning. He calls Animals his favourite Pink Floyd album and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" his favourite song to play.
