Capacity: 3,800 Concert starts: 8pm Address of venue: National Culture Palace, Bulevard "Bulgaria", 1463 Ndk, Sofia, Bulgaria. MAP Website: www.ndk.bg COMMENTS Due to the critical success of the four initial shows in May 2018, held in tiny venues in London's Camden and Putney, Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets announced a full European tour for September that year. The expanded shows for the full tour were even more highly acclaimed, and it came as no surprise when further dates for 2019 were announced. The insatiable demand for more dates, in more locations, has resulted in the band carrying on from where they left off, with shows for 2020 taking the music to new fans, as well as those who have already experienced the show, eager for more! Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets brings together some familiar names, all great musicians: joining Nick are Gary Kemp and Lee Harris on guitars, Guy Pratt on bass, and Dom Beken on keyboards. Kemp is best known for his work with Spandau Ballet, Harris as having played guitar with The Blockheads (Ian Dury's band), Pratt needs no introduction, and Beken is principally known for his work with The Orb, and Transit Kings (with Pratt). The band will be playing early Pink Floyd songs. This is a unique opportunity to experience Pink Floyd's celebrated and significant early body of work played live including songs from albums 'The Piper At The Gates of Dawn' and 'A Saucerful Of Secrets'. The regular sale of tickets starts on FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21st at 10am (UK time), via this link at eventim.bg.

WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD!
Do not read on if you don't want surprises to be spoilt, regarding what the band played!
As with the previous show in Istanbul, Turkiye, this concert in Sofia also saw the slightly amended set list, with Interstellar Overdrive being dropped from the start of the second half. We're suspecting that this is going to be a permanent change. We hear it was a particularly enthusiastic crowd for this concert. Did you go to this show? Let us know!
Next up is Bucharest in Romania tomorrow night.
