Well, after months of rumour and speculation, the North American leg of the Roger Waters The Wall Live 2012 tour has now been announced. Running to some 36 dates, a number of the venues are new to Roger, and some are the previously mentioned baseball stadiums.

Roger told Rolling Stone recently: "There are quite a few markets we didn't cover last time, like Austin, but we want to base the tour around Saturday nights in baseball stadiums. As we speak, I'm at my office working on an outdoor version of the show. We've done light tests at Fenway Park and Wrigley Field and Yankee Stadium just to see what the ambient light is like. And it's fine. It works. We've taken part of the Wall and the projectors into those three places."

For those elsewhere, we have had official confirmation that there are no plans for a European tour, despite the rumours suggesting otherwise.

Should other concerts be announced on this leg of the tour, we will let you know. Since the announcement there was some doubt over the May 19th concert, which was suggested might change to May 18th, and may even change cities from Los Angeles to Pasadena! This has, however, now been fully confirmed as taking place as above at the Memorial Coliseum on the 19th.
