WATERS WILL TOUR IN 1999-2000, MANAGEMENT CONFIRMS


Roger Waters' manager, Mark Fenwick, has confirmed that Roger Waters will be touring the east coast of the United States in July and August of 1999, and that Waters plans to tour the west coast of the U.S. in the spring of 2000. Exact dates and venues have not been confirmed, but according to Fenwick material from Waters' 1992 album "Amused to Death" will be featured during the coming tour.

Although Waters' forthcoming opera "Ca Ira" will be released this year in both English and French, Waters does not expect to begin work on a new rock album until after his 1999-2000 tour and his work on "Ca Ira" are both complete.

On 10 March, the Arkansas Democrat Gazette of Little Rock published a news story about the city's new arena, the Riverfront Amphitheatre. Promoter Butch Stone, who has been a personal friend of Waters since The Wall shows in Los Angeles, has stated that Waters will be performing at the Riverfront Ampitheatre in Little Rock sometime in October 1999. Meanwhile, on 8 May the Riverfront Ampitheatre will host a showing of the film "The Wall" and a Pink Floyd laser show.

Further news of the Waters 1999-2000 tour, including dates and venues, will be published as it becomes available.
