Who is Roger Waters touring with 2022?

Roger Waters kicked off his This Is Not A Drill 2022 North American Tour, after a four-year hiatus off the road, on July 6, at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The tour marks the first time Waters has played an in-the-round stage set up with the band performing in the center of a giant cross, with catwalks in four directions, and large LED screens running through photos, iconic Pink Floyd imagery, and political messages.

“If you’re one of those ‘I love Pink Floyd but I can’t stand Roger’s politics people,’” said Waters to the audience, “you might do well to fuck off to the bar right now.”

Playing with his his current band—guitarists Jonathan Wilson and Dave Kilminster, drummer Joey Waronker, guitarist and bassist Gus Seyffert, keyboardist and guitarist Jon Carin, organist Robert Walter, saxophonist Seamus Blake and backing singers Amanda Belair and Shanay Johnson—the setlist consisted of 20 Pink Floyd and Roger Waters classics, opening with “Comfortably Numb,” and including “Wish You Were Here,” “Another Brick in the Wall,” “Have a Cigar,” “Shine on You You Crazy Diamond,” “Sheep,” “Run Like Hell,” “Money,” “Us and Them,” “Two Suns in the Sunset,” “Is This The Life We Really Want?” and more. 

Waters also previewed a new song “The Bar” before closing the show with “Outside the Wall.”

“The champion sits on his golden throne in his echoing, empty, magnificent home,” said Waters. “Looking out over the sea of bones, the last man standing, stands alone.  Think about it. This is not a drill.”

Pink Floyd recently revealed a new remixed reissue of Animals.

Legendary songwriter and performer Roger Waters, who rose to fame in the ’60s and ’70s with the U.K. rock band he co-founded, Pink Floyd, has announced a swath of rescheduled 2022 summer tour dates.

The 77-year-old Rogers says the string of dates will be his “first farewell tour!” And it will be known as his “This Is Not a Drill Tour.”

The 36 North American dates had been slated for last summer but were postponed, like many others, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
