Ein kleiner Traum wird wahr. Der ehemalige Pink Floyd Kreativkopf Roger Waters begibt sich noch einmal auf Tournee durch auserwählte Stadien und will zum Abschluss seiner Livekarriere mit einer Mammutshow zu "The Wall" alles bisher dagewesene Sprengen. Mit dabei auf diesem Kreuzug der musikalisch wie optischen Superlative ist auch eine Show in Wien am 23. August 2013 auf der Donauinsel.
Dafür wird eine 150 Meter lange und 12 Meter breite Mauer aufgebaut die aus mehreren tausend Ziegelsteinen besteht. Diese Mauer wird zur Projektionsfläche für die bekannten Animationen die die Geschichte des Albums "The Wall" erzählen.

Roger Waters:
"Die Stadion-Show ist noch bewegender, fesselnder, dramatischer und aufregender als die Hallen-Tour!"

LONDON 9th November 2012: Roger Waters, the co-founder and principal songwriter of the archetypal progressive band Pink Floyd, has announced the return of the historic production of “The Wall” to Europe in 2013. His aural and visual masterpiece of alienation and transformation will be performed in its entirety featuring a full band and state-of-the-art production. “The Wall” live has played 192 shows around the world to more than 3.3 million fans making it one of the most successful tours in rock history.

The 2013 tour will consist of 18 open air/stadium shows, to include such iconic venues as Rome Olympic Stadium, Amsterdam Arena and Berlin Olympic Stadium, etc., as well as two Oslo Telenor Arenas. An exclusive presale for The Wall 2013 will be held through RogerWaters.com. To participate, go to www.RogerWaters.com ASAP now to sign up. Public sale tickets for The Wall 2013 go on sale on November 16th for selected dates. For details, please go to www.RogerWaters.com

For these large open air stadiums, Roger Waters has re-designed and scaled up The Wall show to create the ultimate stadium event, bringing The Wall experience even closer to fans wherever they are sitting and making the production even more encompassing in large venues.

Roger Waters says, “I’m extremely glad to be playing The Wall in Europe again. It’s going to be a lot of fun for all of us. I’ve reworked the show to play outdoors in large stadiums. It’s really good. Even more moving, engaging, dramatic and thrilling than the Arena shows. I’ve had to rethink the whole thing about stadiums. This wide wall stadium show couldn’t have been done 40 years ago. We couldn’t have filled the space in a way that would have been emotionally, musically and theatrically satisfying. Technology has changed. Now we can.”

Waters’ first reinvented his iconic stage production of “The Wall” in 2010 utilizing modern day technological advances and special effects which have been embraced by audiences around the globe with countless sold out performances and multiple-night stands including a record-breaking 9 sold out shows at the River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina. “The Wall” remains one of the most influential albums in the history of recorded music with a profound effect on pop culture, resonating with multiple generations of music fans.

Prior to 2010, “The Wall” show was simply too large to contemplate a tour, but new arenas and advances in touring technology have solved that dilemma. Waters has updated the look and feel of the show to ensure it matches the astonishing theatrical extravaganza that The Wall’s live incarnation became so legendary for - thus allowing yet another generation to be inspired by the grandeur of the breath taking visual and aural spectacle. The 1980 original production of the “The Wall” had been performed live-in-its-entirety just 29 times during Pink Floyd’s 1980 tour in support of the album and once in Berlin in celebration of the fall of the Berlin wall.
