Roger Waters Prepares For New Us and Them Tour For 2017

While it seems Roger Waters just finished his three-year tour of Pink Floyd’s The Wall, he says he is ready to get back out on the road.

Waters will open his Us + Them Tour on May 26 in Kansas City, MO with dates that run through October 28 in Vancouver, BC but, knowing his past, there will be many more dates to come.

Waters played last week at Desert Trip and will repeat again this weekend but he has told Billboard not to expect such a 70’s Pink Floyd-centric show during the new tour.

He went on to say “My plan absolutely is to move on. I’ve got a lot to say, and I’ve got a huge amount of material. I’ve got a whole new record [coming out next year]. Obviously, I won’t play the whole new record live, but I will definitely be playing some of the music of it. This Desert Trip thing I accepted given the way the weekend was planned, which was sort of Rolling Stones/Beatles/Pink Floyd, and I thought, well, if I’m being given the mantle of Pink Floyd, it behooves me to take a good, strong, long, loving, nostalgic look at the work that David and Rick and Nick and Syd and I did together between 1967 and 1982.”

Waters expects the new album to be out by May.
