In January 2020, Waters officially announced the tour, named This Is Not a Drill. ![]() Pictured, a pig during The Dark Side of the Moon Live. I can’t go off around the world, and I don’t really want to either".ĭuring concerts, Waters makes use of the Pink Floyd pigs from the cover of Animals, which he has used on most of his tours. In the same interview, Waters stated the tour would only visit arenas, with no concerts held in outdoor venues, and it would visit cities in United States, Canada, "and maybe three gigs in Mexico City. We were talking about, what should we call it? I shouldn't be giving this away, but I don't give a shit because it will probably all change, but imagine the iconic helicopter that normally comes before “ Happiest Days” and “ Brick 2” - that noise that we all know and love - and imagine a megaphone, somebody abused this device before, I know - but, “This is not a drill.” I thought that could be a good title for the show: This Is Not a Drill. We were listening to songs and looking at set lists today. It will be even more political than Us + Them was - political and humane. In September 2019, in an interview promoting the film, Waters talked to Rolling Stone about his plans for the future, where he first mentioned the main concept for a following tour: I don't care." Īfter finishing the tour, a film about it, called Roger Waters: Us + Them, was released. Waters responded to the pro- Trump critics by saying, "I find it slightly surprising that anybody could have been listening to my songs for 50 years without understanding", and said to those critics if they didn't like politics in music to "go see Katy Perry or watch the Kardashians. A portion of the show featured extensive anti-Donald Trump imagery during the performance of Pink Floyd songs, which led some attendees to boo or even walk out of the show. To promote the album, Waters embarked on the Us + Them Tour, visiting North America, Oceania, Europe, and Latin America between May 2017 and December 2018. Waters described the play as "part magic carpet ride, part political rant, part anguish". In 2017, Waters released his fourth solo album Is This the Life We Really Want?, conceived as a radio play about a man and his granddaughter investigating why children are being killed in other parts of the world. In 2021, he called the show his "first farewell tour". Waters first talked about a new live spectacle following his Us + Them Tour on a Rolling Stone interview in September 2019. It began at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, United States, on 6 July 2022, and is scheduled to end at the Estadio Monumental in Santiago, Chile, on 25 November 2023.
