Currently mid-way through a 50 date North American tour, the Roger Waters - Us + Them World Tour has garnered rave reviews – with critics and audiences alike 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 surround 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.

“Many of the songs Waters performed … are more than 40 years old but hold contemporary relevance in today’s fractured political landscape.” The Kansas City Star
Roger Waters Us + Them marks the artist's first tour since The Wall Live (2010-2013), his sold-out world tour which was seen by more than four million fans globally at 219 shows and remains the highest grossing tour by any solo artist in history.
