The first dates have been released for the 2023 Roger Waters This Is Not A Drill tour of Europe, with tickets tending to go on pre-sale this coming Wednesday, September 14th, with the general sale of tickets following on Friday, September 16th.

Important: please check the individual show(s) you are interested in for confirmation of the exact ticketing details for that event, as they might differ from the majority.

This European tour announcement is on the back of his current tour of the US and Canada, which is 27 shows in, with 15 still to play. The new staging sees the band playing "in the round", with Roger prowling the stage to present to all sides of the arenas. Above is a new screen, arranged in a kind of cross. We don't want to say too much for those who are trying to avoid spoilers!

You might also notice from this new graphic to support the European tour, that it refers to "his first ever farewell tour" - make of that what you will, not least as a farewell tour isn't normally referred to as that person's "first ever"! Maybe it is Roger having a little joke...

We suspect the following list will grow quickly, so please keep checking back for more details.

Each show will link off to a specific page for that event, including ticket links, directions to the venue, and - once the show has taken place - details of the set list, video from the show, and submitted reviews and pictures from kind Brain Damage readers.

Here's the dates so far, as revealed on Roger's website, along with ticketing websites in some of the countries. We're keeping an eye out for further shows as they get added to the schedule. The TICKETS link gives more information on the dates, any presales there might be, and the various VIP packages that are available for most (if not all) of the shows.
