David Gilmour has finally revealed his first tour dates to support his new studio album “Luck and Strange,” which he has been working on for almost ten years. The official release states that the initial shows to be announced would be the only ones in the United Kingdom.
The six events that have been confirmed will all take place in October of next year at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall. It’s Gilmour’s favorite British venue, he remarked in a video that was uploaded to social media.
David said, “I’m coming to the Albert Hall early October this year to play in my favorite venue, certainly my favorite venue in England. It always has such a wonderful atmosphere, beautiful place, sounds great too.”
Since the record will be released in September and, as far as the musician is concerned, these are the only dates in Britain, further dates will undoubtedly be revealed soon. At the very least, we should expect other gigs in Europe this year.
