solo album which is released on 6 March 2006.
Amongst the shows will be

From 9am on Wednesday 7th
December until noon on Thursday 8th December there will be a priority
booking period for 300 pairs of £65 tickets for the two Royal Albert
Hall concerts.

Tickets for the London shows are priced at: £65/£60/£50/£30 plus booking fee.
Tickets for other venues will be
on sale through the venues themselves and normal ticket agents, and
will go on sale on Friday; this is with the exception of the French
dates, which go on sale tomorrow (Thursday).
This will be David Gilmour’s
first European tour since Pink Floyd’s triumphant Division Bell tour in
1994 and his first public performance following this Summer’s Pink
Floyd appearance at Live 8. He commented:
“I’m very much looking forward to
this tour and making music with the great musicians in the band. I’ve
had a fantastic time making ‘On An Island’ and really want to perform
tracks from it, along with my more familiar repertoire. I’m rather
hoping that with this tour announcement people will believe me when I
say, honestly, this is the only band I plan to tour with!”
Marc Brickman, lighting genius
who has worked with Gilmour on many Floyd tours, will design the
lighting for the intimate venues chosen for this tour.
