Pink Floyd Drummer Nick Mason Announces UK Tour
Pink Floyd drummer and founder member Nick Mason has announced a UK tour with his Saucerful Of Secrets band. Tickets go on sale from Friday 16 February at 11am from www.myticket.co.uk.
Following their May 2022 Echoes Tour of the UK, the band have since played extensively through the US, Australia and Europe including a show in Pompeii in July last year – a venue of course synonymous with the music of Pink Floyd.
Formed in 2018, Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets are Nick Mason, Gary Kemp, Guy Pratt, Lee Harris and Dom Beken and they play Pink Floyd’s celebrated and significant early body of work including tracks from the era of 1967’s The Piper At The Gates of Dawn through to 1972’s Obscured By Clouds which has included a much-lauded rendition of the 23-minute epic Echoes.
Nick Mason said in a statement, “Six years ago when I got behind the drums again and we started playing the early Pink Floyd material, it was a real pleasure on so many levels. Many of the tracks had never actually been played live, so to have performed them all over the world has been something we’ve all enjoyed immensely. To get the opportunity to come back to the UK for another tour is something the band and I had been hoping we would be able to do, so to say “we’re back” feels good!”
The news comes after the recent announcement of a new collector’s edition vinyl release of Pink Floyd’s landmark album, The Dark Side Of The Moon.
