Pink Floyd News - The latest on Tours, Releases and More :-)
David Gilmour’s Luck and Strange album is now officially announced which greatly increases the probability of a tour happening. For those who are more eagle-eyed you might have spotted some potentially encouraging words on David Gilmour’s website. The UK David Gilmour store says “Pre-order* any format of ‘Luck and Strange’ to get early access to future UK live dates.“ There is also a link for “no purchase necessary” which you can access for tickets when they become available. For example, you might have pre-ordered from another website so would still want ticket access. I have just registered and confirmed my email address. I can’t wait to get hold of some David Gilmour tour tickets for 2024!
