David Gilmour shares plans to tour for first time in eight years

He also teased he was soon to record more material

David Gilmour has announced his plans to tour for the first time in eight years.

The former  Pink Floyd guitarist made the comments in a new interview with Uncut (via  Far Out and Neptune Pink Floyd ) , where he discussed potentially touring his upcoming album ‘ Luck and Strange ‘. It is set for release on September 6.

Speaking to the outlet, Gilmour said there was “an unwillingness to revisit the Pink Floyd of the ‘70s”, but would be more likely to perform songs from other decades: “Yeah, they might be better represented. I mean, at least one from the ’60s. The one we’ve done in the past is ‘Astronomy’ [‘The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn’, 1967]. That’s always entertaining and fun and gets people off to a happy start.

“There’s songs from the ‘Momentary Lapse Of Reason’ and ‘The Division Bell’ albums. I mean, I think ‘High Hopes’ is as good as anything we ever did at any time.”

Gilmour also spoke about the amendments he made to his touring band, reasoning: “It was all too robotic, and some people would have been better off in a Pink Floyd tribute band. So I thought we’d get people who are genuinely creative and give them a little more space. That’s the plan. So we’re going to have some of the younger guys alongside Guy and the Webb Sisters, who sang with Leonard Cohen on his last tours.”

Finally, the guitarist teased there was more unreleased material to come, saying he was planning more recording dates once the tour was finished, “which will practically force me to concentrate [on writing more songs]. I mean, we’ve got plenty more pieces of half-formed music that we can get started on. The intention is to get something else out as soon as possible.”

In the same interview, the guitarist and songwriter discussed The Beatles’ documentary  Get Back , calling it a “hard watch” . Directed by Peter Jackson in 2021, Get Back was constructed from over 60 hours of footage when they recorded their final album, 1970’s ‘Let It Be’.

He specifically noted “Paul being domineering and and John ducking back because of the moment he was in at the time and George leaving and coming back.”

“Horrible, really, I mean it’s lovely for us to watch, but I’m surprised Paul allowed it,” he said.

Gilmour also discussed the potential to have an ABBA Voyage -syle holographic Pink Floyd show , saying: “If someone came up with all the money and all the brilliant ideas – and then once we’ve agreed to a series of very, very difficult and onerous conditions – I’d say, ‘Yeah, OK.’”

In other news, the guitarist recently featured on Mark Knopfler’s re-recorded version of his song ‘Going Home’ alongside  Queen ‘s  Brian May ,  Bruce Springsteen ,  Black Sabbath ’s Tony Iommi,  Eric Clapton ,  Rolling Stones  guitarist  Ronnie Wood  and many more.

Last week, David Gilmour unveiled Luck and Strange , a new collection of original songs from the legendary Pink Floyd guitarist due to arrive on September 6 via Sony Music. The artist has made a moment of his first full-length offering since 2015’s Rattle That Lock , returning to his adoring public after nearly a decade away by debuting the dreamy lead single “The Piper’s Call” on BBC Radio 2 and opening up on his process through a presser. This week, Gilmour has granted further insight with a cover story for Uncut , in which the artist expressed his intentions to tour again at long last.

Keen-eyed superfans could note Gilmour’s first intonations of a live series through his UK webstore, which indicated that fans who pre-ordered Luck and Strange would “get early access to future UK dates.” In his Uncut feature, which has made the rounds online via fansite Neptune Pink Floyd , Gilmour clarified that he is presently in the planning stage for a new tour, which would be the artist’s first run since 2016. “For the upcoming tour, rehearsals need to be scheduled and a setlist needs to be put together,” he offers, noting an “asterisk system” in the works to determine which songs will make the setlist. So far, the entire tracking of Luck and Strange is certain to make the cut, “but that’s about as far as I’ve got.”

Gilmour also spoke on his feelings about bringing back classic Pink Floyd, stressing “an unwillingness to revisit the Pink Floyd of the ’70s,” per Uncut . Unfortunately for golden-era die-hards, this formulation counts out iconic entries like Dark Side of the Moon , Wish You Were Here , Animals and The Wall , though it leaves the door open for some formative and mature Floyd cuts.

When asked about the potential for these projects to make the mix, Gilmour offered, “Yeah, they might be better represented. I mean, at least one from the 60s. The one we’ve done in the past is ‘Astronomy’ [“Astronomy Domine,” track one from 1967 debut The Piper at the Gates of Dawn ]. That’s always entertaining and fun and gets people off to a happy start. There’s songs from the [ A ] Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell albums. I mean, I think ‘High Hopes’ is as good as anything we ever did at any time.”

On his backing ensemble, Gilmour shared that he had shifted his band as “it was all too robotic, and some people would have been better off in a Pink Floyd tribute band,” instead opting in 2024 to “get people who are genuinely creative and give them a little more space.” To open this space, the artist intends to recruit some “younger guys alongside Guy [Pratt] and The Webb Sisters, who sang with Leonard Cohen on his last tours.” Pratt is an esteemed instrumentalist who has collaborated with Gilmour since 1984 and toured with Pink Floyd from 1987-1990, later contributing bass to several tracks on 1994’s The Division Bell . The artist is also featured on the Luck and Strange record.

In closing, Gilmour noted that Luck and Strange and the ramp-up to his supporting tour have stoked and focused his creative fire, revealing that fans need not worry about another nine-year wait before the artist’s next project. The artist intends to plunge into his next work immediately after the tour, “which will practically force me to concentrate. I mean, we’ve got plenty more pieces of half-formed music that we can get started on. The intention is to get something else out as soon as possible”

David Gilmour (born March 6, 1946) is a revered British guitarist, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist hailing from Cambridge, England, UK. On top of being a successful solo artist, Gilmour is best known as the guitarist and co-vocalist in the seminal progressive rock band Pink Floyd.

Encouraged by his parents to pursue music, Gilmour took an early interest in the sounds of Bill Haley, Elvis Presley and the Everly Brothers. Before long Gilmour began practicing the guitar, later meeting future Pink Floyd members Syd Barrett and Roger Waters at Cambridgeshire High School for Boys. The singer-songwriter went on to busk around France and Spain with Barrett in 1965 in a tumultuous period for Gilmour. By 1967 he had been invited to join Pink Floyd and along with Barrett, Nick Mason, Roger Waters and Richard Wright, made musical history selling over 250 million records worldwide. After Barrett’s departure from the band in 1968 Gilmour provided lead vocals notably on the albums “Dark Side of the Moon” and “Wish You Were Here”.

10 years later, in an attempt to utilise all of his musical and songwriting talents, Gilmour turned his attention to recording a solo album. The 1978 self-titled release, marked by its bluesy, guitar-driven sound, earned strong reviews from critics and peaked at No. 17 in the UK. Gilmour’s sophomore album “About Face” was released in 1984 and became a tool to distance himself away from Pink Floyd and provide a commentary for his thoughts. In 1987 Gilmour took complete control of Pink Floyd with the departure of Roger Waters which resulted in “A Momentary Lapse of Reason” in 1987 and “The Division Bell” in 1994.

In 2005 Gilmour was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for his services to music, after which he released his third solo album “On an Island” in 2006. The live album “Live in Gdansk” appeared in 2010 followed by a collaborated with the electronic outfit the Orb on the album “Metallic Spheres”. A year later Rolling Stone magazine ranked him the 14th best guitarist of all time.

Live reviews

David Gilmour - what can you write about such a name? A concert with the singer and guitarist of one of the most famous rock bands in the world - Pink Floyd - is an event that you will never forget and that you should never miss.

Although David Gilmour is now an old grey-haired man, his voice still sounds like it did in the best Pink Floyd days. Live, his rendition of arguably their most famous song "Wish You Were Here", is performed in such a powerful way, that you'd think time had stopped for some decades. Together with piano and strings this song is unforgettable live.

I can't imagine what it would have been like back in the day. Another song that was worth the long, long journey to hear it live was "Shine On You Crazy Diamond". Especially in the acoustic version - it is unbelievable what Gilmour made out of this old classic. He started with a neverending intro morphing the song so that only experts in the audience recognized it from the initial strains.

All in all I can give everybody the tip to use the chance to go to a David Gilmour concert - You never know when it will be his last one. Forget songs like "The Wall" - these songs were made during a time Fink Floyd was successful - too successful in my eyes. The good songs were their earlier ones. And in concert, Gilmour reminded us of this fact.

Report as inappropriate

David Jon Gilmour, CBE may not be a recognisable household name yet you only have to mention the name of his world famous band Pink Floyd and people suddenly realise David's importance to the genres of progressive and psychedelic rock.

Although this musician is considered one of the world's greatest guitarist by a number of celebrated publications, you really do have to watch him perform live in order to appreciate his musical talents. Although Gilmour is almost 70 years old, he does not miss one of those perfect notes all evening. Beginning with the spanning 'Breathe' followed by 'Time' he manages to hold the entire venue's attention with the simple movement of his guitar strings. The vocal also sounds really good considering that David was never a major vocalist in the original lineup. This is a fantastic way to hear the likes of 'Wish You Were Here' and 'Astronomy Domine' as Pink Floyd rarely tour anymore as a whole outfit. The addition of an orchestra gives a new dimension to the classic music and offers a new level of show to the whole operation.

The first Concert in Rome of the legendary guitar of Pink Floyd has been one of best live shows I've ever seen. The Playlist was incredible, ranging from the last tracks of Rattle That Lock up to the wonderful dreamy Fat Old Sun from "Atom Heart Mother".

The set of guitars Gilmour used included the relic sunburst Telecaster famous after his solo album "About Face", his Lap Steel, a blonde Gibson LA and the absolute rock legend "The Black Strat".

The dozen of guitar solos David played had his un-comparable taste and feeling. The second solo of Comfortably Numb, the best song in the human history, concluded the best event held in Rome for decades.

Thank you David for your art!

The concert was perfect. Gilmour is still able to sing like he's always sang. My problem was with the venue, eventhough the sound was amazing and much better than other venues, the entrance to the event was a total disaster. Without no particular reason, the security team kept us and almost have of the public, outside on line for more than half an hour, for we missed the first 5 songs, eventhough we arrived there before 8pm. I'd think twice going back to Radio City Music Hall for attending a concert there, and if so, we'd be sure to be there 2 hours ahead of the gig, to make sure we don't miss 30% of the show....

Thumbs down for Radio City security team!

Show espetacular. David Gilmour com toda sua bagagem de Pink Floyd, ainda mostra que tem disposição e folego o suficiente para fazer um show de arrebentar com o público. Com seus solos icônicos e demonstrando habilidade, Gilmour continua no auge de sua carreira tocando sua orquestra como se fosse um garoto. A qualidade sonora é incomparável e incrível, que chega ao ponto de parecer que você está escutando o LP do álbum original e não um show ao vivo. É simplesmente uma experiência única escutar ao vivo um dos maiores guitarristas da história e suas canções enquanto a guitarra chora bons sons. Valeu muito a pena!

The performance was awesome and that was what I was waiting for.

He played a mix of his and Pink Floyd's songs but I wish more visual effects on the big screen behind the stage. It showed movies only on some specific songs and not on all of them.

The ticket selling process was awful and I don't know if here is the right place to complain or not. We got three different place in three different tries for buying the tickets and the black market was huge outside the venue, and also many many fake tickets. The ID was supposed to be checked by the entrance but no one cared about it, funny!

david you are my very favorite you were on my bucket list to see and hear you in personyou really made me so happy for a old broad i have 4 years on you but i know we are both young at heart ill always be a rocker i was at the monday nite concert in chicago it was fantastic and my husband and i could drive there from omaha nebraska and also have a mini vacation i luv rattle that lock thats the only cd i play in my car well david thank you for the best nite of my lifeand i wish you a long and healthy lifemaybe there will be another concert in the future thank you again!!!

5 Star Show all the way! One of the best shows I've ever seen. Sound was perfect, stage show was great and venue was ideal. He is the closest thing to the original Pink Floyd sound and feel as there original shows. I've seen the Wall Tour a few years back and this is what I've been missing all these years in my concert going experiences. This is one I will never forget and my buddies who didn't go are still kicking themselves! Best of wishes to David and his crew what a show!

Simply fantastic... he is not from this world. Worth every penny. Unforgettable show...perfectly produced...technically irretouchable. David Gilmour and his crew made me travel to the past through the classics Us and Then, Wish You Were Here, High Hopes, Astronomy Domine to the recent Girl on the Yellow Dress and Rattle that Lock to quote a few songs. If you have the opportunity and love Pink Ployd like me, you cannot miss this show...it will forever be in my mind...

Great show, started off a little slow but the fourth song was "Wish you were here" and that got the crowd going.

Very good sound quality, some excellent Gilmour solos, if you are a fan of great guitar playing don't miss David Gilmour and his Black Strat.

Finished off with a wonderful rendition of Comfortably Numb. It would be nice if he interacted with the crowd, more, there was very little crowd interaction.

Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour on the Band Touring Again: “I Suppose it’s a Possibility”

by Jacob Uitti May 13, 2022, 8:59 am

Last month, the famous psychedelic rock band Pink Floyd reunited for the song, “Hey Hey Rise Up,” which was a single they put together for charity to benefit the people of Ukraine as the country battles Russia in war.

Videos by American Songwriter

The new song was the first original work since the 1994 album The Division Bell .

In the wake of the release, the band’s guitarist David Gilmour has hinted maybe—just maybe—the band will get back together to tour. At least, he hasn’t taken it completely off the table.

“We haven’t even thought about doing live shows, but I suppose it’s a possibility,” said Gilmour in a recent interview. “I haven’t done one in such a long time, but who knows – I don’t know.”

In March last year, Gilmour said that he was “done” with the band. But things change, of course.

“I’ve had a life in Pink Floyd for quite a lot of years, and quite a few of those years at the beginning, with Roger [Waters],” Gilmour told Guitar Player . “And those years in what is now considered to be our heyday were 95 percent musically fulfilling and joyous and full of fun and laughter.”

He added, “It has run its course. We are done, and it would be fakery to go back and do it again.”

However, if Gilmour and Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason, who are the two remaining members of the band, do come back, it may likely be without Roger Waters. In 2021, Waters said the band was “toxic” during his 20-year tenure between 1965 and 1985.

“I always felt insignificant and somewhat inept,” Waters told Marc Maron on his WTF Podcast last September. “It’s more recently, over the years, I’ve come to realize that actually, I have quite a sophisticated musical brain. That I notice things that other people don’t notice.”

Waters continued, saying that Gilmour and keyboardist Richard Wright were “always trying to drag me down” and “trying to knock me off whatever that perch was.”

Officially, the band played their last live show in 1994. Though, Gilmour, Mason, and Wright were joined by Waters for an 18-minute set in 2005.

Waters has his own live tour dates coming up this summer, which you can see HERE .

David Gilmour , who has often given off the appearance of being happily retired, hasn’t been keeping himself from the studio after all. The ex- Pink Floyd singer-guitarist has announced his first album in nine years, “Luck and Strange,” and he’s giving everyone time to prepare for it, with the release not coming till Sept. 6.

The first teaser track is imminent, however, with “The Piper’s Call” due to come out on DSPs on Thursday, to be followed by a music video on Friday. He also released a short teaser on YouTube featuring himself and his dog in the studio during the mixing process.

Lyrics have mostly been written by Gilmour’s wife, Polly Samson, as has been the case with Gilmour’s albums for decades, and the latter-day/post-Roger Waters material that Pink Floyd did before retiring the moniker, Samson said in a statement that the songs are “written from the point of view of being older; mortality is the constant.”

Other family members also contribute, harking back to family livestreams that the Gilmour clan did during the pandemic lockdowns. Romany Gilmour sings, plays harp and sings lead vocals on “Between Two Points.” Gabriel Gilmour contributes backing vocals. Charlie Gilmour wrote lyrics for the album’s closing song, “Scattered.”

Gilmour collaborated with a co-producer on the album, Charlie Andrew, who’s worked with ALT-J and Marika Hackman. “We invited Charlie to the house, so he came and listened to some demos,” Gilmour recalled in a statement, “and said things like, ‘Well, why does there have to be a guitar solo there?’ and ‘Do they all fade out? Can’t some of them just end?'” While Andrew questioning the need for guitar solos may not put him in the immediate good stead of all Gilmour fans, the artist says the approach of not taking any tropes for granted was refreshing. “He has a wonderful lack of knowledge or respect for this past of mine. He’s very direct and not in any way overawed, and I love that. That is just so good for me because the last thing you want is people just deferring to you.”

Famed photographer Anton Corbijn is responsible for the album imagery.

Gilmour was last in the news in 2023 when the deepening of a longstanding rift between him and Waters became apparent. Samson responded to Waters’ ongoing controversies by publicly stating to her husband’s former bandmate that he was “rotten to your antisemitic core” and “a Putin apologist,” and Gilmour emphatically cosigned his spouse’s statement, writing: “Every word demonstrably true.”

Gilmour toured behind the 2015 “Rattle That Lock” album, his fourth solo effort, and had suggested he was done hitting the road after that; there’s no indication yet whether he might reconsider in support of the new effort.

David Gilmour Ends Tour With Stunning Pink Floyd Hits, Soaring Solos

By Kory Grow

Madison Square Garden briefly became an 18,000-seat hotbox when David Gilmour ended his short North American tour there Tuesday night. The first thing you noticed as you walked through the halls was the dense, nearly physical cloud of weed wafting around you. The next thing was the floating orb above the stage; a staple of Pink Floyd concerts since 1974, it’s a circular projector screen that’s studded with lights to cut through the fog onstage. And then, once the concert began, you found that it was the round, warm notes of Gilmour’s guitars that were the most overwhelming. The experience was pure sensory overload, and since this was the Pink Floyd leader’s first tour in a decade, also a rare treat.

In late March, Gilmour launched a modest North American tour of the States to support his most recent solo album, last year’s Rattle That Lock , playing arenas and theaters in Los Angeles, Toronto, Chicago and New York. He played a nearly identical set list at all of the shows – mixing 14 Pink Floyd favorites with seven Rattle That Lock selections, a splash of On an Island and an intermission for the perfect cocktail – but it was a winning combination that wowed the Big Apple on the last date of the tour. There were thousands of lost souls swimming in a fish bowl (even if they all did sit down for most of the concert), and they were all rapt by his and his band’s performances of songs that date back to 1967, the year he joined Pink Floyd to sing, play kazoo and fill in on guitar as his college chum Syd Barrett spiraled into the ether.

Although the 70-year-old rarely spoke to the audience, other than for the occasional thank you and to introduce his 10-piece band, the night seemed like a celebration of nearly 50 years of cosmic rock. The show began with three Rattle That Lock tunes, which found the screen projecting gritty Wall -like animations, as the band settled into its groove. By the fourth tune of the night – Floyd’s bittersweet, poetic anthem to loneliness “Wish You Were Here” – the arena welcomed a new light source: pinpricks of cellphone flashes piercing the dark. Gilmour voice sounded as it did on the original – husky, sandpapery, weathered – as he mouthed notes along with the acoustic guitar solo. “Do you think you can tell?” he sang to an audience for possibly the thousandth time and, again for possibly the thousandth time, they roared back that they did. 

Editor’s picks

The 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history, every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term.

Despite the fans’ obvious ardor for the hits of past decades, Gilmour’s solo selections won over the crowd. During “A Boat Lies Waiting,” he played a gorgeous, soaring lap-steel guitar lead that sounded like a theremin, elating the audience’s amateur photographers, and on “The Blue,” he yanked at his Stratocaster’s whammy bar until it created the sort of eerie, ghostlike wailing that Tom Morello uses pedals to duplicate. When he played Rattle That Lock ‘s jazzy “The Girl in the Yellow Dress” – accompanied by its whimsical animated video – concertgoers took video of the whole song as though it were a classic.
