made a playlist of the setlist on Spotify and gave it a listen. It takes a while to get going but its sounds good and imagine the visuals will be out of this world

Would he return to the Aviva again after it supposably selling so bad in 2013 ???

Thundercats Ho

It had been just 2 years since he played 2 shows at the point.
It was the same show (the wall) albeit on a smaller scale.
I'd say that was a deciding factor for many.

There was 8 of us went to the point gig, and just 2 of us went to the Lansdowne road gig 2 years later.

There'll have been 5 years between the last gig and next years gig, so i'd expect it to sell very well.

Scratch that .... front section seats = €295 .... yes, you read that correctly = €295. :eek: ....

Cheapest tickets seem to be €86. Very high but unfortunately par for the course for seeing legends.

I'll be going for them for the Irish gig, paid over €200 for my u2 Croke Park and I said never paying that price again unless it's the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen or a wrestling PPV

Very happy to hear this. His Dark Side.. and The Wall tours are two of the best shows I've seen by anyone.

He seems to be playing a few songs from the new album which I really enjoyed. Some of them could easily be Floyd songs, Deja Vu is right:

Great news. I saw them in 1988. Will definitely take in some of these.

Can someone edit the title of this thread?

Whats the typical cost for a Roger Waters show, 50, 60 or 60 odd euros, might try and get onto the family for a possible early xmas pressie ha ha. Seriously though have never seen Roger Waters live, I seen the other three on the Momentary Lapse of Reason/Delicate Sound of Thunder tour at Manchester in 1988.

Close to €100 for the cheapest tickets I feel judging by other venues for this tour. I would love if there were tickets for €50. As it looks likely to be the three arena it will be a big seller

Thunder77

It will be 3 arena, two nights most likely,that last Aviva gig didn't sell so there is no way he would go stadium again and the entire tour is indoors so i would expect it to be indoors

bodhrandude

Someone posted this in the Pink Floyd Glastonbury thread on efestivals, it gave me a chuckle.

The indoor Uk gigs are all seated ,no standing tickets.
I'd imagine it will be standing in Dublin though.

Hyde Park is outdoor I presume.

Thunder77

yes but demand for him in London would be very high so instead of doing 5-6 nights in an arena he can just do one massive outdoor show and fit in some more cities around the UK

I'm beginning to fear Dublin wont be included as the 3arena wont accommodate the current stage set. The same issue arises that U2 faced on the i+e tour.
He has a huge screen that comes out into the crowd during the 2nd half of the show. The 3arena's "fan shape" is far from ideal for this layout.
I think he's more likely to inc Belfast than Dublin.

Ireland is on his confirmed tour itinerary chief.

Thunder77

Well he did bring his Wall tour to the arena in 2011 and that fit fine and that was a massive production, i still reckon it will be 3 Arena
