With yet another show added today, and the likelihood of a US tour in the Autumn, Roger Waters is making 2006 a busy year!
The show added is part of the
Hyde Park Calling festival being held in London, on July 1st and 2nd,
with Roger headlining the first day.
He will be performing Pink Floyd's
1973 classic "Dark Side Of The Moon" in its entirety as part of his
set. This will be Roger's only British performance, with the Cork show in Ireland on June 29th
being the next nearest show. The Who are headlining the second night of
the festival, showcasing a new album from them, the first for some 24
years.
Hyde Park Calling, sponsored by
the Hard Rock Cafe, promises to be an interesting event, with a main
stage, second stage and "many surprises in store for music and festival
fans of all ages". Texas have been named as support for Roger, and
other acts are expected to be confirmed soon.
Roger Waters said about the show: "I really enjoyed playing Live 8 last year, so appearing at Hyde Park Calling will be great".
Individual day tickets and
weekend tickets will be available, at £42.50 per day or £80 for the
whole weekend (plus booking fees).
The presale of tickets started today (8th March) for those who register with TicketRush.co.uk, and the general sale of tickets starts at 9am on Friday, 10th March, through TicketRush.co.uk, Ticketmaster.co.uk, and www.getLIVE.co.uk.
