Originally recorded and filmed during Waters' show at the O2 Arena in the Czech Republic on May 25, 2023, a new edit is directed by his long-term collaborative partner, Sean Evans.
Billed as his "first ever Farewell Tour", the show is a stunning indictment of the corporate dystopia in which we all struggle to survive and is dedicated to "our brothers and sisters all over the world who are engaged in the existential battle for the soul of humanity".
The release will give fans the chance to see and hear his critically-acclaimed live show in full cinematic glory and delivers 20 classic Pink Floyd and Roger Waters songs, including: "Us & Them", "Comfortably Numb" and "Wish You Were Here."
Trafalgar Releasing and Sony Music Vision will release the film in cinemas worldwide for viewing on July 23 and July 27, with tickets on sale at www.rogerwaters.film.
The accompanying music will be released on Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, on August 1, and will see the performance presented on a 4 LP set/Blu-Ray/2 CD/DVD/Digital Audio.
“This Is Not A Drill - Live from Prague The Movie” is filmed in 8k, providing exceptional detail and clarity, and features an enhanced audio mix. For the production, Waters was joined on stage by his outstanding band of musicians: Jonathan Wilson, Dave Kilminster, Jon Carin, Gus Seyffert, Joey Waronker, Robert Walter, Shanay Johnson, Amanda Belair and Seamus Blake.
