The Radio K.A.O.S. tour was a concert tour performed by Roger Waters in 1987 in support of the album Radio K.A.O.S.. The shows included material from the album as well as songs from well known Pink Floyd albums such as The Wall and The Dark Side of the Moon. The tour started in North America on 14 August 1987 and ended on the 22 November 1987 with two performances at Wembley Arena in London, England.

The show included designs by Mark Fisher such as circular screens, quadrophonic sounds, back projections and in some cases introductions to the show by radio DJ Jim Ladd. A telephone booth allowed the audience to direct questions at Waters.

The performers

Unlike The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking (tour) in 1984, the K.A.O.S. tour established The Bleeding Heart band. A number of these musicians would continue to play or be involved with Roger Waters over the next 20 years. Both Doreen Chanter and Katie Kissoon had performed on the 1984 tour.
