Last February, REG sources confirmed to our fan club that Roger will indeed be embarking on a Summer 2006 European tour, zigzagging up and down, between Northern and Southern Europe, Eastern Europe, and the UK. And although REG - The International Roger Waters Fan Club was the first to confirm and to announce the complete itinerary (17 dates... now with added shows... 22) of Roger's Summer 2006 European Tour. More recently we reported that Roger would indeed continue his 2006 tour in the United States this Autumn.

Now REG can at last announce Roger's 2006 American Tour Itinerary. The tour will commence in the Eastern United States, and carry on with a few shows in Eastern Canada, and back through the US Midsection, then swing to the SouthWest and up the West Coast of the US.

Tickets will be going on sale VERY soon after these dates are announced so I'm emailing all REG members the Itinerary as it now stands. It is presumed that many shows may well sell out quickly so be prepared to purchase your tickets as soon as possible.

As in past recent tours, there are likely to be a few last minute changes in the itinerary such as a change in venue or even cancelations, and a likelyhood of more possible shows being announced. So please be prepared of any eventuality, and stay tuned to the REG website for any updates.

As of this initial announcement, the itinerary and information about the American tour below, are the dates and venues that have been confirmed by REG with Roger Waters' management.

With both Roger Waters and David Gilmour touring at different times during 2006, there have been many rumors and articles reporting that Rick Wright would be touring with Dave, and Nick Mason would be touring with Roger. Even such reputable magazines such as Rolling Stone had one such article.

Were this true it would be a bit like Pink Floyd splitting in half and touring separately. One a Pink tour, and the other a Floyd tour. Course we all know which one's Pink? heh heh ;o) couldn't resist. Although I'm not following the Gilmour tour very closely, perhaps Rick is touring with Dave, or more likely he is playing one or more shows with Dave's band.

However, when REG asked our sources within the Roger Waters camp, we were told: "Nick Mason will play at Magny Cours on the 14th of July for the second half of the show." Thus suggesting that Nick will NOT in fact be touring with Roger.

REG was told that: "The band consists of Andy Fairweather Low - Guitar, Snowy White - Guitar, Dave Kilminster - Guitar and Vocals, Jon Carin - Keyboards, Harry Waters - Hammond, Graham Broad - Drums, Ian Ritchie on Saxophone, and Katie Kissoon, PP Arnold and Carol Kenyon - Background Vocals.

It is fantastic news that Jon Carin will be back playing with Roger again. Not only is he one of the nicest guys you could ever meet, he's one of the greatest musicians in the world. It was almost a given that Andy and Snowy would be back as Roger's right and left hand musicians and friends. And of course with Roger's son Harry again touring with his Dad, it will be nice to see the love and father and son pride and antics again. Katie, PP and Carol are all of course quite essential, especially PP. We'll have to all reserve judgement for ourselves as to just who and how good of a lead guitarist this Dave Kilminster is. He's unknown to me, but I'm sure, as always, he will be great. Roger always seems to have among the best. Too bad though Doyle Bramhall II is not touring again. In my opinion, he was by far the best guitarist Roger has toured with since Eric Clapton. Doyle was simply fantastic!
