Roger Waters' This Is Not A Drill tour gig in Prague on May 25 to be screened live in cinemas in over 50 countries

Roger Waters cinema event

Roger Waters has announced a special live broadcast of his This Is Not A Drill tour show from the O2 Arena in Prague on May 25. The worldwide live event will be distributed by Trafalgar Releasing in over 1,500 cinemas across more than 50 countries, in partnership with Sony Music Entertainment.

Pink Floyd's former leader kicked off the European leg of his This Is Not A Drill tour with two shows at the Altice Arena in Lisbon, Portugal on March 17 and 18.

Billed as his first ever Farewell Tour, the global cinema event, directed by Sean Evans, will give fans the chance to see and hear his critically acclaimed live show in full cinematic glory. Described as "a stunning indictment of the corporate dystopia in which we all struggle to survive", the film will include 20 Pink Floyd and Roger Waters songs, including Us & Them, Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Is This The Life We Really Want? and recent Waters song The Bar.

UK newspaper The Times has hailed the show as "one of the most eye-catching, imaginative, well executed examples of arena rock you’ll ever see."

“We are excited to give fans around the world the opportunity to experience such an iconic concert performance live on the big screen,” says Tom Mackay, President, Premium Content, Sony Music Entertainment.

Tickets for the event will be available on Tuesday 25 April, when full cinema listings and times will be announced on the film's website.
