Roger Waters announces ‘This is Not a Drill: Live From Prague’ film

The movie will be in theaters globally this summer

Roger Waters has announced the global film and music release of This Is Not A Drill – Live from Prague The Movie. Trafalgar Releasing and Sony Music Vision will release the film worldwide beginning on July 23rd, with tickets on sale beginning June 12th.

Originally recorded and filmed during Watersโ€™ live show at the O2 Arena in the Czech Republic on May 25, 2023, this breathtaking 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 โ€œour brothers and sisters all over the world who are engaged in the existential battle for the soul of humanity.โ€

The release will give fans the chance to see and hear his critically acclaimed live show in full cinematic glory and includes 20 classic Pink Floyd and Roger Waters songs, including โ€œUs & Them,โ€ โ€œComfortably Numb,โ€ โ€œWish You Were Here,โ€ and โ€œIs This The Life We Really Want?โ€ Additionally, Waters performs his highly celebrated new song, โ€œThe Bar.โ€ Together, the production is an extraordinary assault on the senses – musically, visually, politically and philosophically.

ย The accompanying music is set to be released on Legacy Recordings on August 1st, and will see the performance presented on a 4 LP set/Blu-ray/2 CD/DVD/Digital Audio. A performance clip of โ€œWish You Were Hereโ€ is available now.

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.
