Roger Waters has planned quite a lineup for his North American leg of his revival “The Wall Tour,” where the founder of Pink Floyd will perform the band’s classic 1979 album. The tour will kick off in Toronto ON on September 15 and wrap up in Anaheim, CA on December 14. However, the whirlwind tour of 2010 isn’t the only thing on tap for Waters. Spring 2011 will see the rocker make an extensive tour of Europe.

Before kicking off the European leg in Lisbon, Portugal on March 21, Waters will be taking a couple months off. Then he will tour across Europe and the UK, wrapping up in Dusseldorf, Germany on June 18. Highlights on the tour include a run of three nights at O2 Arena in London and multiple stops in Germany.

RogerWaters.com, just like the tour of North America, will be offering members of the fan club exclusive pre-sale chances for buying tickets. Tickets for the UK and European legs will be going on sale to the public beginning Friday, June 4.

A dozen new concerts have been added by Roger Waters to his forthcoming fall tour. The former front man for Pink Floyd will be performing “The Wall,” the band’s 1979 album, in its entirety.

For many of the markets the new dates are second or third nights, including Los Angeles, Montreal, New York City, Boston, Chicago and Toronto. On May 14 tickets will be going on sale for the date in Philadelphia. The additional shows in Anaheim, CA, Los Angeles and Chicago are going on sale on May 17, while the rest of the shows are already on sale.

According to a recent press release, “The Wall” album has been only performed previously 31 times in its entirety. Most of the performances were by Pink Floyd on their 1980-81 tour to support the album, and then in 1990 with Waters and a cast of all-stars performing it to commemorate the demolition of Berlin Wall.

Water in his press statement said, this new “The Wall” production is an attempt at drawing comparisons and to shed some light on our current predicament. It is dedicated to innocence that was lost over the years. During Waters’ 2007-08 tour he played the 1973 classic album from his former band, “The Dark Side of the Moon,” in its entirety.

In a recent Associated Press interview, Waters said the upcoming tour would go forward without participation from David Gilmour, former band mate. He stated that the longtime guitarist of the band was approached about being involved on the tour, but was not at all interested in any Pink Floyd projects.

All four former Pink Floyd classic lineup members performed together at the Live 8 benefit concert of Bob Geldorf’s in 2005 held in London. However after the concert, Gilmour and Waters went on their separate ways.

The latest rock solo album from Waters is “Amused to Death,” released in 1992. He also released a three act opera, “Ca Ira,” centered around the French Revolution, in 2005 on the classical music label of Sony’s.

Roger Waters later this year will be celebrating “The Wall’s” legacy with his 30th anniversary tour. It will update what already was one of history’s greatest stage shows into a rock spectacle for the 21st century. However, David Gilmour, who furnished the soaring solos, riffs and shared vocals on the songs “Another Brick in the Wall,” “Run Like Hell” and “Comfortably Numb” won’t be joining the tour. According to Waters that was Gilmour’s call.

Waters said that David isn’t interested at all. He added that after the brief reunion of the band for Live 8 in 2005 that he probably could have done more stuff, however David isn’t interested.

The years after Pink Floyd broke up were marred by a lawsuit and infighting. However, all four members from the classic lineup did agree to perform together for Bob Geldorf’s 2005 benefit concert held in London. Following that the band rejected plans to do a full-scale tour. Gilmour and Waters returned their focus to their solo work.

There was no explanation provided by Waters why Gilmour didn’t want to perform again with Pink Floyd. The reason is probably because Gilmour wouldn’t want to perform without Rick Wright, keyboardist, who died in 2008 of cancer. After Wright was essentially forced by Waters to resign from the band after “The Wall,” Wright was welcomed back by Gilmour after Waters left. The Gilmour-fronted Pink Floyd released the album “A Momentary Lapse of Reason.” After Wright died, Gilmour said nobody can replace him. He was my friend and musical partner. In all of the arguments over what or who Pink Floyd was, the enormous input of Rick’s was forgotten frequently.

Pink Floyd fans might be feeling some frustration with Gilmour for not being interested in “The Wall” tour. However the fans of Elliot Smith are blasting Waters for covering a mural up that was associated with the songwriter/singer. Smith died in 2003. Waters is introducing street art ads for promoting “The Wall” tour with a Dwight Eisenhower quote. On May 10 tickets are going on sale for the general public.

The quote in New York has been placed in locations with heavy traffic like Union Square. However in Los Angeles, the ad was placed atop the “Elliot Smith Memorial Wall” mural on West Sunset Boulevard which was made famous on his “Figure 8” cover. When Waters became informed of the incident it said it was an accident resulting from his team based in New York choosing the location in Los Angeles without knowing of its significance.

Waters said that he didn’t want to disrespect the fans of Elliot Smith. He told his team to take the wheat paste off immediately. He said the art was made from biodegradable material. Waters said he isn’t too familiar with Smith’s work. After learning about Smith more Waters said he guess he would probably have been sympathetic of the anti war message in the quote.

All is set for “The Wall Live” tour where former Pink Floyd front man Roger Waters is set to relive the success and convey the message of global peace and political coexistence through Pink Floyd’s 1979 double-disc concept record “The Wall”.

The tour will be launched on September 15 in Toronto and will conclude in Anaheim on December 13. Presale tickets will be available tomorrow, May 5, however not everyone will have a chance at scoring those advance tickets as an electronic raffle or lottery will determine the select few for each city stop who will be entitled to partake in tomorrow’s presale event via Roger Waters’ official website.
