Roger Waters announces UK dates for The Wall tour
Posted on 28 May 2010 07:44 to category : Band / Celebrity News
Electric guitar player Roger Waters has announced that he will be bringing his tour of The Wall to the UK next year.
A series of American and Canadian dates had already been confirmed for the show, which will feature Waters playing the classic Pink Floyd album in full.
He is to play the O2 Arena in London on May 10th, 11th and 17th 2011, with two shows taking place at the Manchester Evening News Arena on the 20th and 21st of the same month.
Waters will play a total of 28 dates in Europe, including a show in Dublin on May 23rd.
The electric guitar player, who is 66, told NME that this could be the final time he undertakes such an ambitious tour.
"I think there will come a point where I just don't want the physical demand," he said.
"At the moment I'm pretty fit and I have no qualms about doing this one."
His first performance of The Wall will take place in Toronto on September 15th.
