David Gilmour Tour 2024 : Dress Rehearsals
Two dress rehearsal shows happened on 20th and 21st September 2024 at the Brighton Centre in Brighton, England. These were both pre-tour rehearsals in front of an audience of only 1500 each night. Here is a video from David Gilmour playing at the Brighton Centre from 20th February. You may be interested to learn the David Gilmour tour 2024 setlist which, of course, contains spoilers. This webpage doesn’t contain the setlist. You may also want to view the David Gilmour Tour Photos page which is filling up nice.

This excellent photos of the band rehearsing at the Brighton Centre are by Polly Samson and they look amazing. Polly of course wrote most of the lyrics for Luck and Strange. Her great lyrics, and photo book, are a key feature of the Luck and Strange deluxe boxset.

Here is a video of David Gilmour at the Brighton Centre on the Kings Road from 21st September 2024 playing Comfortably Numb with his new band.
The band now relocate from Brighton to Rome in Italy. The band has been posting lots of photos and videos on their social media in between setting up, sound checking and generally getting ready for what might be the biggest concepts of their careers. Whist some of the band are very familiar from the world of music, some of them are not household names. It must be very exciting for them. David Gilmour’s daughter Romany has had a real baptism of fire on this tour! She made it look effortless.
David Gilmour Tour 2024
The first port of call on the tour has been at the Circo Massimo venue in Rome, Italy. There is a reason Italy is so popular with tourists! You get great weather, food, architecture and history. Rome is a fantastic city to visit because it is densely packed with things to see and do. Or just to sit in a square with a good wine!
Before we get to the exciting performance, here is a picture of the site being set up by the local company Italstage. There are so many people behind the scenes that make these events happen and I think its important just to consider them for a moment before we get into the live performances.
Circo Massimo
There have been some excellent photos shared but this gallery below is my favourite ones I have seen so far. They are by photographer Jill Furmanovsky and Polly Samson. One of the benefits of playing at such a large open space, is you can get the audience having a bit of fun with the very large inflatable balloons that were flying around the audience. There was one little mishap when David Gilmour’s famous Jimi Hendrix guitar strap broke and his guitar came free mid song. Guitar tech Phil Taylor had to run on stage with a replacement guitar so Gilmour could keep going. David didn’t seem too put off by the mishap giving fans a glimpse of his dancing skills after resuming his groove.

In terms of photos from Circo Massimo, here are 4 from Jill Furmanovsky.
And here are a selection that Polly Samson shared on Facebook. Click on a photo to enlarge.
It was very unfortunate that David Gilmour’s Jimi Hendrix guitar strap broke during Comfortably Numb right before the second solo. Luckily guitar tech Phil Taylor quickly brough a spare black strat on stage from the collection that goes on tour with David. You can watch the event unfold below from multiple angles in an “official” video of the incident that David posted on his social media.
Royal Albert Hall
After Italy, David Gilmour’s touring headed over to England and the legendary Royal Albert Hall. This is a much smaller and more intimate venue compared to the Rome gigs. I attended the show on the tenth and met up with other fans at the Gloucester pub. The band were fantastic and sounded well gelled and rehearsed. You can read my full review here. I think the setlist was very well put together and was very cohesive and a joy to listen to and watch. There were some old classics in addition to his new album of course. I really enjoyed being in the audience for the David Gilmour tour 2024.
Here are my photos from David Gilmour’s performance on Thursday 10th October 2024.

USA Leg
Following the European tour leg, David and his band headed over to the far side of United States to California. The Los Angeles shows are split firstly between the Intuit Dome then secondly at the Hollywood Bowl. This leg concludes the David Gilmour Tour 2024 and we hope to see concerts announced for 2025 following a period of reflection from David and the band. They seem to be enjoying themselves so fingers crossed they will choose to play on!

Here are some photos from the shows at Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles. The format of the show was much larger than the Royal Albert Hall where I attended.
David and the band headed over to New York to finish his 2024 on the East Coast. He played 5 nights at Madison Square Garden in the bright New York City. David Gilmour last performed at MSG on 12th April 2016 as pictured below. This is of course Roger Waters home town these days so I wonder if he will turn up and say ‘Hi’ to David, or even perform with him? Very unlikely indeed. I would like to think of him turning up in a disguise, incognito in the audience.

There is no better reason to go on a tour around the world than having a new studio album. David Gilmour’s lyricist Polly Samson has been hard at work crafting a new album with her husband David Gilmour. Polly confirmed the new album in an interview and mentions it frequently on social media. They have been working on songs together and Polly has posted lots of photos of David in the studio. Many of these photos which are on this page.
Will David Gilmour tour in 2025?
I think a lot of David Gilmour fans will be asking themselves will there be a 2025 tour? David Gilmour has mentioned that he is already working on his next album so perhaps that will be out in 2025 along with a new tour. He did say at his final concert at Madison Square Garden that that’s a wrap for the Luck and Strange tour. However, he has also said he thoroughly enjoyed the touring experience and felt very comfortable with his new touring band. Therefore I do think there will be a David Gilmour tour in 2025 touring his next album that he has said he is working on. Not confirmed, so watch this space!

David performed songs on Later With… Jools Holland on Saturday 2nd November, That reminds me, I still haven’t watched it. I think that is something to look forward to.

Gilmour’s solo tours have always been an opportunity for fans to experience his distinct guitar work and voice in a different setting than the larger-than-life shows of Pink Floyd. While Pink Floyd’s music always found a place in the setlists, these tours allowed Gilmour to delve deeper into his personal song writing and showcase his evolving artistry. His latter solo work benefited greatly by cowriting with his wife and writer Polly Samson.
