One of Pink Floyd’s founding members is bringing the British rock band’s music to the Bay Area in a major way next year.
Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters has enlisted his son, Harry Waters, to lead “Legacy – A Pink Floyd Show,” a musical presentation of select tracks from the band’s groundbreaking albums “The Dark Side of the Moon,” “Wish You Were Here,” “Animals” and “The Wall.” The North American tour, boasting more than 100 shows, is scheduled to stop at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Theatre on Sept. 7, 2027.

The two-hour show will feature a 10-piece band, helmed by Harry Waters, who serves as the production’s musical director as well as lead vocalist and B3 organ and piano player.
Roger Waters is not scheduled to perform on the tour.
Ticket sales for all shows on the forthcoming tour start at 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 2.
“These songs have meant so much to so many people for so many years, and I’m excited for audiences to come together and experience them live again,” Roger Waters said in a statement. “Harry has assembled a terrific band, and I can’t wait for fans around the world to see the special show we’ve created together.”
The new tour comes after several years of public controversy for the elder Waters. The artist was dropped by the music rights company BMG in 2024 over comments that he made about Israel, which some deemed to be antisemitic. The following year, Roger Waters faced more backlash for declaring that Palestine Action is not a “terrorist organization,” despite the group being banned by the U.K. parliament.
Most recently, in April, he served as executive producer on the Palestinian art and resistance documentary “Freedom Theatre.” The film has no public release date yet.
But while his father has been mired in controversy, Harry Waters has been preparing to carry Pink Floyd’s music into a new era.
As a child, his voice was featured on the 1979 track “Goodbye Blue Sky,” and he spent more than a decade performing with his father on the road. “Legacy – A Pink Floyd Show” serves as a culmination of that lifelong connection to the band.
“I fell in love with the music immediately,” Harry Waters said in a statement. “It really had an impact on me, irrespective of any bias because it was Dad’s music. I still love it deeply to this day. Collaborating with Dad on this new production is such an honor.”
