Waters builds a Pink Floyd Legacy and leaves the stage

From February 2027 a ten-piece band under Harry Waters will perform only the four albums from The Dark Side Of The Moon through The Wall, visiting more than 100 cities; the tour opens on 15 February 2027 in Columbus, Georgia, and North American tickets go on sale from 2 October 2026.

Roger Waters and his son Harry Waters announced Legacy – A Pink Floyd Show on 29 September 2026. The live production is directed by Roger Waters and performed by a ten-piece band led by Harry Waters, who is musical director and plays B3 organ, piano and sings. Roger Waters will not perform.

The show focuses on Pink Floyd's 1971–1979 period. It draws exclusively from The Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall, and aims to recreate the original recordings as closely as possible. Sets will run for more than two hours. The production features high-definition LED screens with imagery inspired by the original Pink Floyd visuals, some created by Roger Waters during his time in the band.

The tour will visit more than 100 cities across North America and Europe. It opens on 15 February 2027 at the RiverCenter for the Performing Arts in Columbus, Georgia. North American tickets go on sale from 2 October 2026. European dates will be announced later. The project comes from the artists' team.

The band behind the four albums

Pink Floyd are an English rock band formed in London in 1965. They gained an early following as one of the first British psychedelic groups and were distinguished by extended compositions, sonic experiments, philosophical lyrics and elaborate live shows. They became a leading band of the progressive rock genre.

Before the period this production isolates, the group had already issued The Piper at the Gates of Dawn in 1967, A Saucerful of Secrets in 1968, the More soundtrack and Ummagumma in 1969, Atom Heart Mother in 1970 and Meddle in 1971. Legacy treats what followed as a closed book: four albums only, played at length, with the stated aim of matching the studio records rather than opening them out into free improvisation. That choice places the night inside the progressive and conceptual stretch for which the band are still most widely known, and it keeps the earlier psychedelic catalogue off the setlist.

Direction, band and the road ahead

Harry Waters leads from the B3 organ and piano and takes vocals. A ten-piece line-up has been built to carry the density of those arrangements. Roger Waters remains the director — the person who shapes the evening and who has drawn some of the visual material from his own work in the original band — but he stays off stage. The high-definition LED screens recall the elaborate live language Pink Floyd developed as their shows grew in scale through the 1970s.

More than a hundred cities puts the production on a large commercial footing. Until European dates are announced, the second half of the itinerary remains a blank.

What is already clear is the frame. This is not a reunion of the classic Pink Floyd line-up and not a Roger Waters solo set. It is a directed recreation of four records from a defined period, handed to a new ensemble under Harry Waters, with the original singer and bassist of that era working only from the wings. Listeners who know The Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall by heart will judge the nights by how close the band come to the discs they already own. The proof begins in Georgia next February.
