Roger Waters at Rod Laver Arena 2012-02-07

Roger Waters will be performing his final night down under tonight at the Vector Arena in Auckland, New Zealand. The Wall Tour has been received well by Australians and New Zealanders down under with lots of positive press coverage and fan reactions on Roger Waters The Wall Tour 2012.

You can view photos from Roger Waters Tour in 2012. Share some with us if you have some!

Roger and his touring band (which includes his son Harry Waters) will then have a nice week off to rest and engage in recreation of their choosing, although I am sure they find time on the tour to get some fun things done. They are travelling the world afterall, so it would be rude not to!

Just to recall, here are the concerts that Roger Waters played in Australia and New Zealand in 2012!

As I was saying, the band will now have a week off to do whatever whilst the giant wall and containers full of equipment are shipped over to the South Americas to Chile ready to kick the award winning tour off again in Santiago, Chile. He will be there for two consecutive nights at the National Stadium.

Amazing Run….

After the couple of nights in Chile, the amazine run of 9 consecutive nights in Argentina will begin which is unprecedented on the tour! 9 nights!! Some of the previously announced concerts on the tour had to be rescheduled as the promoter of the Argentina nights kept putting on night after night as they just kept selling out in no time at all! Should be an amazing time in Argentina, those fans are mental! In a good way!

March will then be completed with 3 nights in Brazil and the fourth night in Brazil is the first in April 2012. Here are the Roger Waters Tour 2012 dates for your records…

Roger Waters Europe 2012/2013

Roger Waters recently said in an interview that he was considering performing in Europe again in 2013 given that promoters are probably very keen for him to do so! I know I would like to see him performing again in England in 2013! Given that August 2012 and onwards has not had any concerts announced, it is of course possible that he will commence more touring in 2012. But, then again, perhaps he would like to spend some more time with his new wife Laurie Durning whom he married last month in a private ceremony which was very low key with less than 10 guests!

Roger Waters The Wall Live Tour

Roger Waters The Wall Live Tour

Rolling Stone magazine have done an interview with Roger Waters regarding his thoughts on the Middle East and America, his disappointment in President Obama of the USA and his planned stadium concerts in 2012. He also mentions some interesting information relating to Roger Waters Tour 2013 in Europe! Read on…

Politics and Protest

As expected, the interview features heavily on politics of the Middle East and personal freedoms being exerted by people against their governments. On protesting in the USA, Roger said, “I think they will find it harder to crush that genuine outpouring of dissatisfaction with the system in this country, just as it’s harder to crush protest in Tunisia or Egypt or Iran or Syria, or anywhere else in the world where the people believe that their government is not giving them a fair crack at the whip.”

Roger also shares his opinion on Bradley Manning who passed reasonably sensitive US intelligence cables to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. Roger regards Bradley Manning as “a hero in [his] book”.

Roger Waters… In Football Stadiums?

I had been wondering over the past few months after the 2012 South American Roger Waters Tour Dates were announced why Roger would go an play in football stadiums when it was that level of “success” commercially that led to Roger writing The Wall album for Pink Floyd back in the late 1970s.

Roger reveals something that I had looked over in my brief wonderings about his decision to play stadiums. Roger says in the interview, “I desperately wanted to bring this tour to South America, but they don’t play basketball or ice hockey down there, and consequentially they don’t have arenas. So you can play in a club or a soccer stadium. I’m playing in soccer stadiums, and I’ve decided that the arena show that I produced of The Wallis not inclusive enough to play in a soccer stadium”

Last Big Tour? Europe in 2013?

A questions being discussed over the past couple of years during Roger Waters 2010 and 2011 tours is whether or not he will tour into the future with other large scale tours like the one he is currently on. Roger reveals two interesting facts in the interview on this very question.

Firstly, he says that the current 2012 tour ends in August but only dates up to the end of July 2012 have been announced thus far. So either Roger just got his month muddled up or the tour has some more dates to be announced which is nice!

Secondly, Roger also revealed that there is a possibility of going back to Europe in 2013 to tour some more round there. Roger said, “The Wall is an extraordinarily satisfying piece to perform, so it may well be that I go back to Europe in 2013.  I have no idea whether it’s the last big tour. I just don’t know. ”

Roger Waters Marriage in 2012

Roger Waters Marriage to Laurie Durning should be happening soon so look out for news and pictures about that happy day for them. I am sure it will be a happy time for the couple starting 2012 on a much more positive step than the world of politics and economics!

Presale tickets for Roger Waters The Wall Live in 2011 across the UK and Europe are currently taking place for 3 nights at the O2 in London, 2 nights in Manchester and the Dublin ones are on sale now.  The presale for German tickets is to take place this Friday.

How to get Roger Waters Presale Tickets?

You need to register on Roger Waters website and select which cities you want to buy presale tickets for. You will be entered into a random draw to “win” the chance to purchase some presale tickets. This is to try to stop ticket touts/scalpers from buying all the best tickets then selling them on at extortionate prices! You have to pick the tickets up in person on the night with identification proving your name which is on the tickets!  Tickets at the MEN in Manchester cost me £84 each in the presale so already expensive – but worth it – to begin with!

So… go on over to Roger Waters website, register then select which cities you want presale tickets for. Then wait, keep your fingers crossed, and hope you get the chance to buy presale!

I didn’t get Presale! What About General Tickets?

General ticket sales start happening this Friday 4th June 2010 at 9am GMT so don’t miss out! Bookmark the relevant page below or check out the listings in the “widget” below.
