Last night, in the English city of Manchester, Roger Waters, his band and crew, concluded the current leg of his This Is Not A Drill tour, which also looks like it has seen the end of the use of the “in the round” staging.. Show 40 of the 2023 tour – this leg, visiting various locations in Portugal, Italy, Spain, Germany, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Hungary, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Czech Republic, Scotland and England – saw Roger back in the Arena in Manchester which he has played in previous years, and which in 2017 was subjected to the atrocity of an Ariana Grande concert, full of young people, being bombed. There is significance in mentioning that fact – the worker bee has long been the symbol of the city, its heritage built on industry, but the bombing gave the bee extra significance as it represented the indomitable spirit of the locals after the attack, rebuilding and standing strong. In a totally unexpected moment, Roger was performing The Bar during the show, and he realised that (somehow) a bee was in the arena, and had rested on his hand as he was playing piano! He remarked: “That is unbelievable. That has been on my hand for the whole last chorus.” Our thanks to those who have contributed their thoughts about the shows so far, and we’re still adding some recent reviews and pictures to the show pages. If you want to share your thoughts, or pictures, and haven’t done so yet, please get in touch. We really love to see all your contributions! As it stands, the next show on the 2023 Roger Waters This Is Not A Drill tour (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/2023-tour-zone/index.php) is on October 24th in Brasilia, Brazil, as he starts the South American leg. If you are going to any of these, we hope you enjoy them and would obviously love to see your pictures and reviews of the shows.
Domenico Tedesco expects to see even more from his Belgium side, despite an impressive 3-0 victory over Sweden in his first game as head coach. Romelu Lukaku’s hat-trick in Friday’s opening Euro 2024 qualifier ensured Tedesco, who took over from Roberto Martinez last month, got off to a flying start. While pleased to have picked […]

Further dates have been released for the 2023 Roger Waters This Is Not A Drill tour of Europe, with some tickets already on sale, and most of the newly announced shows going on presale this coming Wednesday, with the general sale starting on Friday. Tickets for some of the shows are already selling very quickly. 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 30 shows in, with 12 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. 17th March 2023 – Altice Arena, Lisbon, Portugal (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/2023-tour-zone/march-17th-altice-arena-lisbon-portugal.html) – TICKETS (https://blueticket.meo.pt/Event/7091/ROGER-WATERS-THIS-IS-NOT-A-DRILL)
