Roger Waters adds Manchester show to UK leg of This Is Not A Drill 2023 tour

Just announced is a further addition to the 2023 Roger Waters This Is Not A Drill European tour (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/2023-tour-zone/index.php), and it’s very good news for our friends in the north of England. Roger and his band will be performing their “in the round” show at the AO Arena (formerly known as the Manchester Arena, MEN, etc.) on June 10th, 2023 (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/2023-tour-zone/june-10th-ao-arena-manchester-england.html), which as things stand will be the final show of the tour – although we suspect more will be added elsewhere after the existing run of dates which begins in March 2023, in Lisbon, Portugal. There is a Live Nation presale from 10am on THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20th (details here (https://www.livenation.co.uk/show/1392367/roger-waters-this-is-not-a-drill/manchester/2023-06-10/en)), and for the regular sale of tickets, which starts on FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21st at 10am (local time), CLICK HERE (https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/roger-waters-tickets/artist/736426).

Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side Of The Moon – official book for 50th anniversary

Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side Of The Moon cover March 2023 sees the 50th anniversary of the release of The Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd, and as part of the anniversary celebrations, an official 216 page hardback book is being published on 1st March to commemorate the band and the album. The album-sized (12″ x 12″) package features rare and unseen backstage and onstage photography of the band during the album tours of 1972 to 1975. 129 candid black-and-white photographs by Storm Thorgerson, Jill Furmanovsky, Aubrey Powell, Storm Thorgerson and Peter Christopherson document the soundchecks, the shows and the after shows. A review of the October 1972 Wembley gig, originally published in Melody Maker, provides insight into one of the Floyd’s most celebrated performances, and there is a complete listing of the tour dates. The second part explores in 65 colour images how the original prism motif by Hipgnosis and StormStudios evolved into an array of graphics and homages to the world’s great artists, some of which went on to grace further projects of the band. Co-founder of StormStudios, Peter Curzon, recalls the details of each brief and the development of the graphics over a 50-year period. At this stage, there is no indication of what the cover looks like, and as we get more information, including the cover, we will update this page.
