Roger Waters, the main creative talent behind the phenomenal rock band Pink Floyd, has returned to the UK live arena with just three dates, following his 2007 European and US 'Dark Side of The Moon' tour.

Following his success with Pink Floyd after 20 years as the band's lead singer, songwriter and bass player, in 1985 Roger began his moderately successful solo career, releasing three studio albums. He also staged one of the largest concerts ever 'The Wall' concert in Berlin 1990. His most recent release in 2005 was an opera titled 'Ça Ira', which took him 16 years to complete.

In July 2005, Roger and Pink Floyd reunited for a one-off performance at the 'Live 8' concert in London - their first public performance together in 24 years. At the time there was hope of the band reforming, but due to Roger and David Gilmour's continuing musical and ideological differences that hope was subsided.

Roger Waters' UK tour for 2008 will kick off on 15th May at Liverpool Echo Arena, followed by two dates at The O2 Arena 18th and 19th May. At the show you will see him perform his own solo material and a mixture of Pink Floyd classic, with a complete run-through of the 1973 hit 'The Dark Side of The Moon' in the second half.

There are still some tickets available for 19th May, but these will not last long.
