Roger Waters: This Is Not A Drill Comes To Madison Square Garden | NEW YORK, NY

Published by New Jersey Stage

originally published: 01/29/2020

(NEW YORK, NY) -- Roger Waters, the creative genius of Pink Floyd, will bring his audio-visual experience to Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, August 5 at 8:00pm. For the first time ever, Waters will perform in the round.  Tickets range from $55 to $250.

“It’ll be a new show. It will be no-holds-barred. My work is to think, ‘Well, how can I make rock & roll more interesting or theatrical or exciting or visual or musical or whatever?’ That’s what I’ve spent the last 50 years doing, expressing myself,” said Roger Waters of the upcoming tour in a September 2019 interview with Rolling Stone.

The This Is Not A Drill tour marks Waters’ return to the US following his extraordinary performances at the 2016 Desert Trip music festival and his worldwide Us + Them tour in 2017 and 2018.

Madison Square Garden is located at 4 Pennsylvania Plaza in New York, New York.
