Roger Waters says: “This Is Not A Drill is a ground-breaking new rock and roll/cinematic extravaganza, performed in the round, it is a stunning indictment of the corporate dystopia in which we all struggle to survive, and a call to action to Love, Protect and Share our precious and precarious planet home. The show includes a dozen great songs from Pink Floyd’s Golden Era alongside several new ones, words and music, same writer, same heart, same soul, the same man. Could be his last hurrah. Wow! My first farewell tour! Don’t miss it”.
Ultimate Classic Rock said, “Concertgoers on their way out could be heard debating whether or not this is the best tour they’ve seen from Waters. One thing’s for certain, it’s not to be missed – and a show which will leave you deep in thought about both the world and yourself.”
Glide magazine’s review said: “Waters succeeded two-fold. First, by plastering awareness on the atrocities that the human race has continued to endure – most of which could be avoided without greed, gluttony and warmongering. And secondly with a well-curated display of his, often-dubbed, musical genius…One can never be disappointed by a Roger Waters production and this show was no exception.”
