SUNRISE, Fla. – Sunrise Sports & Entertainment announced today that music legend Roger Waters, co-founder and primary songwriter for Pink Floyd, will commemorate the 30th Anniversary of The Wall with a monumental tour that will visit the BankAtlantic Center during an exclusive South Florida performance on Nov. 13.
Tickets for the show go on sale Monday, May 10 at all Ticketmaster outlets, charge by phone (800-745-3000), at www.ticketmaster.com and on Tuesday, May 11 at the BankAtlantic Center box office.
“The legendary Roger Waters will make the BankAtlantic Center the place to be for his exclusive show in November,” said SSE president & COO Michael Yormark. “This latest concert announcement to go with other upcoming shows such as Bon Jovi, Justin Bieber and others, just further underscores the BankAtlantic Center’s reputation as one of the premier venues of its kind in North America.”
Up to date details on Roger Waters' The Wall Tour, and more, may be found on the artist's newly relaunched and redesigned website, RogerWaters.com. Waters is personally involved with the site and will be communicating with fans through it.
The Wall has been previously performed live in its entirety by Waters just 31 times including Pink Floyd's 1980-81 tour in support of the album. A spectacular Roger Waters solo staging and performance of the rock opera in July 1990, celebrating the fall of the Berlin Wall, drew nearly a half million fans to the Potsdamer Platz.
The New York Times (March 2, 1980) declared that "The Wall show remains a milestone in rock history, it will be the touchstone against which all future rock spectacles must be measured."
Originally released in November 1979, The Wall was America's top-selling album of 1980, is one of the top-selling double albums of all time, and is still in the US Top 5 best-selling albums of all time.
The Wall was made into a metaphorical musical film, directed by Alan Parker with screenplay by Roger Waters, in 1982.
One of the most profoundly influential albums in the history of recorded music, The Wall continues to affect pop culture while resonating with generations of music fans.
The Roger Waters show is just the latest announcement in an incredible schedule of upcoming shows at the BankAtlantic Center including Bon Jovi, James Taylor & Carole King, Jeff Dunham, Justin Bieber and more. The BankAtlantic Center was recently ranked No. 12 in the United States and No. 27 in the world in Pollstar’s third quarter arena venue rankings.
