Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour Readies First U.S. Shows Since 2016

Pink Floyd vocalist/guitarist David Gilmour will play his first U.S. shows since 2016 this fall on Oct. 29-30 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and Nov. 4-5 at New York’s Madison Square Garden. They will be preceded by six gigs each at Rome’s Circo Massimo and London’s Royal Albert Hall in late September and early October.

Gilmour, 78, will be touring in support of his first new album in nine years, Luck and Strange, due Sept. 6 from Sony Music. Late Pink Floyd keyboardist Rick Wright appears on the title track via excerpts recorded during a 2007 jam in a barn on Gilmour’s property.
