David Gilmour concert chronology

The Rattle That Lock Tour is a concert tour by British guitarist David Gilmour to support his fourth studio album, Rattle That Lock.

Background

The first eight tour dates (in Europe) were announced on 4 March 2015, with two more dates added later. The concerts are spread across six European countries at nine different venues. The dates were planned to coincide with the release of Gilmour's new album.[1] The two new dates were announced on 6 March 2015 at the Royal Albert Hall, and were added due to high ticket demand for the three concerts already planned at the venue.[2] On 19 June 2015, a date was announced for a show in Wrocław, Poland, on 25 June 2016.[3] Four North American dates were also announced on 16 July 2015, along with more details on the new album, to be released 18 September.[4] Four more North American dates were added on 21 July 2015, in the same venues as the first four.[5] On 26 July 2015, a 'preview show' was added at the Brighton Centre before the start of the main tour.[6] Gilmour announced his first South American tour of five dates on 4 September 2015.[7] Individual new dates were announced periodically until 2 February 2016, when a further 11 dates were added in Europe to take place in summer 2016.[8]

Most of the venues on the first European leg of the tour were at Roman amphitheatres, similar to the one featured in Pink Floyd's Live at Pompeii (1971). Gilmour will also play the Royal Albert Hall. He will also play the historic Auditorium Theatre in Chicago, having last performed there with Pink Floyd in 1972.[9]

The touring band is made up of mostly the same musicians who accompanied Gilmour on his On an Island Tour of 2006. These are Phil Manzanera, Guy Pratt, Jon Carin and Steve DiStanislao.[10] Kevin McAlea, who performed with Carin at Kate Bush's Before the Dawn shows in 2014, is also playing keyboards on the tour.[10]
