COMMENTS
The European leg of Roger's new tour - THIS IS NOT A DRILL - has now been announced, and is a new production. The show will be presented "live in the round" - a departure from Roger's previous shows. The production has already been seen in the US and Canada in the latter part of 2022, showcasing both the new visuals, and the new set list. More details of that can be found in the show pages for Roger's 2022 tour - but don't go there if you don't want to have any surprises spoilt!
Those who have attended - or have seen pictures/video of - Roger's previous tours, will know just how spectacular and moving this new production is likely to be, and how it is a show you really shouldn't miss! From comments Roger has made in recent interviews, it could be his final tour...
The presale of tickets starts on Wednesday, September 21st at 10am (local time). The regular sale of tickets starts on FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23rd at 10am (local time), with both through THIS LINK. Using this direct link also helps toward the ongoing running costs of this site, and is appreciated!
Our thanks to Roger Henri for sending in the ticket scan shown to the right.

Do not read on if you don't want surprises to be spoilt, regarding what the band played!
Night twenty-three of the 2023 This Is Not A Drill tour for Roger Waters, his band, and crew, and the first of a brace of shows in the French capital, Paris.
Initial reports from the fan community are that the show was as expected from last year's experiences of Roger's latest production, but as always, we value your first hand views on all the concerts - so if you went, please let us know your thoughts!
CONCERT PICTURES by BD CONTRIBUTOR, Roger Henri
Here's a couple of pictures from Roger, from the Paris gig - for this particular show, the two inflatable animals were held in a pen in the arena, rather than in a backstage area to be released at the appropriate time...
YOUR HELP NEEDED! We want to cover Roger's concerts the best we can, to share the experience with everyone, especially those who won't be able to attend the shows. We'd love to see ANY pictures, tickets scans, reviews, newspaper reports, and anything else you come across for this show - we look forward to hearing from you!
