Roger Waters is following suit with many major touring artists by moving his "This is Not a Drill Tour" to 2022.
The former lead singer/bassist from Pink Floyd, who was originally supposed to play Madison Square Garden on Aug. 5 and 6, 2020, will now perform at the Manhattan arena on Aug. 30 and 31, 2022, due to the pandemic.
"This is Not a Drill is a groundbreaking new rock and roll/cinematic extravaganza, performed in the round. It is a stunning indictment of the corporate dystopia in which we all struggle to survive, and a call to action to love, protect and share our precious and precarious planet home," said Waters, 77, who resides in Bridgehampton, in a released statement. "The show includes a dozen great songs from Pink Floyd’s golden era alongside several new ones — words and music, same writer, same heart, same soul, same man. Could be his last hurrah. Wow! My first farewell tour! Don’t miss it."
Tickets ($55-$705) for Waters’ Garden concerts are currently on sale at ticketmaster.com. Tickets for Aug. 5, 2020, will be honored on Aug. 30, 2022, and Aug. 6, 2020, tickets can be used on Aug. 31, 2022.
