Roger Waters brings The Wall to the UK

By | Published on Friday 28 May 2010

Former Pink Floyd man Roger Waters has announced that he will bring the live show in which he performs his former band’s ‘The Wall’ album in full to the UK next year, 30 years after it was originally released.

Explaining the writing process of the album, Waters told CMU: “30 years ago when I wrote ‘The Wall’, I was a frightened young man. In the intervening years it has occurred to me that maybe the story of my fear and loss with its concomitant inevitable residue of ridicule, shame and punishment, provides an allegory for broader concerns: Nationalism, racism, sexism, religion, whatever! All these issues and isms are driven by the same fears that drove my young life”.

May 2011 UK tour dates:

11 May: London, O2 Arena
12 May: London, O2 Arena
17 May: London, O2 Arena
20 May: Manchester, MEN Arena
21 May: Manchester, MEN Arena
