Roger Waters spent decades litigating what Pink Floyd was, what it could be called, and who had standing to perform it. The answer he’s landed on, for 2027, is his son — and the result is a touring production built around the four albums that defined the band’s most celebrated era, arriving at the Stanley Theatre in Utica on April 29.
About the Show
Harry Waters leads a 10-piece band through material drawn from The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall, the sequence of records Pink Floyd released between 1971 and 1979. Roger Waters created and directs the production; he will not perform. The aim, as described across multiple sources, is “note-for-note” fidelity to the original recordings, with high-definition LED screens running imagery derived from Pink Floyd’s original visual work. The show runs more than two hours.
The choice of Harry Waters to front the band comes with its own history. His voice appeared on “Goodbye Blue Sky” from The Wall when he was two years old. He spent years touring with his father’s solo band before a falling out, then put in time with the Brit Floyd and Echoes tribute circuits and eventually performed Animals alongside Les Claypool’s group. Harry’s own account of the music is unguarded: “I fell in love with the music immediately. It really had an impact on me, irrespective of any bias because it was Dad’s music.” On the collaboration itself: “Collaborating with Dad on this new production is such an honour.”
Clifton David Broadbridge, a Canadian-born vocalist based in Nashville, handles Roger Waters’ lead vocal parts. Harry selected him from a worldwide search that drew more than 3,000 submissions. The full band includes Graham Broad on drums, Edo Scordo and Antonello Pudva on guitars, Eva Avila and Genevieve Little on backing vocals, Dahniel Knight on bass, Ryan Saranich across saxophone, percussion, guitar, and keyboards, and Matt Riddle on additional keyboards. The production runs 58 North American dates, from Columbus, Georgia in February 2027 to St. Louis in late September, with a European leg to follow.
Roger Waters, for his part, made it short: “These songs have meant so much to so many people for so many years, and I’m excited for audiences to come together and experience them live again.”
