  2. The Harry Waters Band will perform only The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall, in a two-hour set.
  3. More than 3,000 singers auditioned for lead vocalist; Clifton David Broadbridge won the role in the 10-person ensemble.

Harry Waters will lead a new touring production, "Legacy — A Pink Floyd Show," beginning February 15 at the RiverCenter for the Performing Arts in Columbus, Georgia. His father, former Pink Floyd singer-songwriter Roger Waters, developed the show with him.

The Harry Waters Band will perform exclusively material from four Pink Floyd albums: The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall. Roger Waters' team produced the tour's visuals, which include imagery he created during his time in Pink Floyd alongside new images inspired by the repertoire.

The tour has booked dates in more than 100 cities across North America and Europe. Tickets for the North American shows go on sale Friday, with full details available on the Roger Waters Legacy website.

"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," Roger Waters said in a statement. "Harry has assembled a terrific band, and I can't wait for fans around the world to see the special show we've created together."

Harry Waters will sing and play organ in the 10-person ensemble. The band also features his longtime collaborator, drummer Graham Broad, who helped conceive the two-hour show's set list. "We are going to authentically recreate the albums as close to note-for-note as we possibly can," Broad said.

More than 3,000 singers auditioned for the group's lead vocalist spot. Waters revealed Tuesday that the role went to Clifton David Broadbridge, a Canadian now based in Nashville, who will front the ensemble.

"I fell in love with the music immediately," Harry Waters said. "It really had an impact on me, irrespective of any bias because it was Dad's music. I still love it deeply to this day. Collaborating with Dad on this new production is such an honor, and I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to bring this music to fans old and new, around the world."

Harry Waters' connection to his father's catalog runs deep. Pink Floyd recorded his voice on The Wall track "Goodbye Blue Sky." He later spent more than 15 years playing keyboards and organ in his father's solo band. He told Rolling Stone, "I was fired" from that band along with several other musicians, but he continued performing Pink Floyd's music: in 2023 he played the Animals album live with Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade and Sean Lennon, and he has performed with the tribute act Brit Floyd.

The North American itinerary runs from February through September and includes stops at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta on February 25, the Chicago Theatre on March 6, the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on September 11, and the Fabulous Fox in St. Louis on September 25.

Whether a note-for-note recreation of four landmark albums, staged with the architect of the originals' visuals behind it, can convert Floyd's stadium-scale catalogue into a sustained theatrical touring format will become clear once the band reaches the century mark of booked cities.
