Where are these tour dates you’re talking about?

Thought the same thing and Google got me this:

https://www.jambase.com/article/roger-waters-david-gilmour-tour-2020

So nothing concrete there then.

I feel sure that if he did play it would have to be the Friday to get the full RW/PF sound and stage spectacle. You couldn't set up a huge model Spitfire to crash into the stage during the interval after the support act on a Sunday :). I'm ure I remember one year when the Friday headliner had people in the Pyramid field guarding their speaker and/or laser set ups from the Tuesday and then it disappeared overnight (think it may have been Coldplay last time but one).

Would possibly camp all day inside the barrier if RW happened.

Yeah. I suppose it would all hinge on what this tour is supposed to be. I’m thinking that OP must have caught a glimpse of 2018’s tour poster because I can’t see anything either apart from that article.

Would love this to happen but can't see it. His set at BST a couple years back was fantastic. Also the setlist was spot on, set 2 of dogs into pigs then a bunch off dark side and finishing with comfortably numb. What an hour of music

Free on the Sunday and in the UK (although  would mean a number of gigs in a row).

Thoughts? Cheeky Pink Floyd reunion for the 50th is certainly a surprise 

mate of mine's auntie's priest said he saw Syd Barrett walking out of the crematorium alive so Floyd reunion confirmed

I like Waters and saw him last summer at BST. It was an impressive show and of course the closest thing to a Floyd show available, but...

He performed both Money and Pigs, defiantly anti-capitalism songs, which we enjoyed back in the cheap seats while Roger enjoyed the increased income from selling golden and diamond circle tickets... The irony was not lost on me.

but when he played at Glastonbury Sunday 30 June 2002 it was not the full works { production wise that you used to get at Wembley or Earl's Court } although the sound was cracking - as soon as I knew the times I was straight onto staffing to shuffle my Team shifts as there was no bloody way I was going to miss it - we were working in the Guest bar { backstage compound } so hung back behind the barrier at the back of the stage to see if I could get a photograph but I did not spot him - handy at the end as I slipped back to the guest bar for a drink {technical we are not supposed to use that gate {gate to the left of the stage} but I chanced my arm as I was not going to battle though the crowds.}   

also see - old but you never know our luck

Actually the cheaper seats in Glasgow were the best ones as you got a tremendous view of the various lighting effects, especially the pyramid. So maybe he was actually rewarding those who couldn’t afford the ground level seating!  And maybe not!

Enjoyed what I saw of him in 2002 (think that was the year). I'm sure they put in a special PA or something for his show that year? (Probably am wrong).

Wasn’t there quadrophonic sound with the band swirling it around?

    • Was volunteering at the Women’s Cricket World Cup at Southampton yesterday. Was great fun.
    • Definitely see this as being 'weak' on paper but could see a few bumps up from previous sets at Download (Don Broco, Neck Deep etc).
    • Very different in terms of time of game,  yet remember how excited I was before the first game in Euro 2016 having grown up not sure I would ever see wales in an international tournament. That day scraped a win against Slovakia and was just happy to see wales score and win at a tournament, little did I know we would finish in the top 4. Hope Scottish fans get the same experience.
