Pink Floyd’s Creative Visionary To Give Fans The Ultimate Concert Experience
THURSDAY AUGUST 31, 2017 – Rock icon ROGER WATERS will bring his critically acclaimed US + THEM tour to New Zealand in January 2018, touring here for the first time since his phenomenal The Wall Live broke sales records in 2012.
Currently underway in North America, the tour has garnered rave reviews – hailing as a triumph the “eye-popping” production and the “spectacular” set-list drawn from classics in the Floyd canon and from Waters’ solo work.
Roger Waters’ legendary live performances are renowned as immersive sensory experiences featuring high class, state-of-the-art audio/visual production and breathtaking quad sound. Us + Them is no exception: following months of meticulous planning and visionary craft, it will inspire audiences with its powerful delivery.
Us + Them showcases highlights from Waters’ groundbreaking body of work and features songs from Pink Floyd’s greatest albums - The Dark Side of The Moon, The Wall, Animals, Wish You Were Here - plus new songs from Roger Waters’ album Is This the Life We Really Want? which recently debuted at No. 2 on the RIANZ Album Chart.
The tour title Us + Them is derived from the 1974 track ‘Us And Them’ on the multi-million selling Pink Floyd album The Dark Side of the Moon and has been hailed as the last great Pink Floyd spectacle.
Roger Waters Us + Them will play in Auckland at Spark Arena on Wednesday, January 24 and in Dunedin at Forsyth Barr Stadium on Tuesday, January 30.
