Roger Waters is currently in-between weekends of Desert Trip festival, where he shares the Sunday night bills with The Who (and other nights’ performers Neil Young, The Rolling Stones, Sir Paul McCartney and Nobel Prize winner Bob Dylan). Next year, Roger will be coming to a town near you on his 2017 Us + Them Tour. “We are going to take a new show on the road, the content is very secret,” said Roger Waters. “It’ll be a mixture of stuff from my long career, stuff from my years with Pink Floyd, some new things…but it will be all connected by a general theme. It will be a cool show, I promise you. It’ll be spectacular like all my shows have been.”

The tour comes to NYC for two shows at Barclays Center on September 11 & 12. There are also shows at NJ’s Prudential Center on September 7 and Uniondale, NY’s Nassau Coliseum on September 15. Tickets to all shows on the tour go on sale Friday, October 21 with a Citi cardmember presale beginning Monday, October 17 at 10 AM for Nassau and Prudential shows, and noon for Barclays.

Meanwhile, Waters tells Rolling Stone that he’s been working on a new album with producer Nigel Godrich. It’s still in the early stages but Waters says “We’ve got some really good work in the can.”
