Roger Waters returns to Argentina with his farewell tour of the stage “This Is Not A Drill” (“this is not a simulacrum”). With production of D.F. Entertainment, his visit to Argentina is confirmed for November 21 at the River Plate stadium.
Waters had to go through these latitudes to say goodbye to his Argentine fans – among the most loyal he has in the world – with whom he developed a close bond throughout his career. The place could not be other than the Monumental, where he gave 9 unforgettable recitals in 2012 as part of his world tour “The Wall Live”which represented an absolute record for the number of shows in River in a single visit for the history of the show in Argentina -which it maintained for ten years-, added to the two shows that it also gave in that stadium with its tour “Dark Side of the Moon” in 2007. If it is about who did more shows in River in his career, with this recital Roger Waters comes first with the Rolling Stoneswho did a total of 12 shows in River.
