Welcome to Madrid

Roger Waters, co-founder of Pink Floyd, is organising a tribute concert on 19 January 2023 at the Palacio Vistalegre Arena to mark the 40th anniversary of the The Wall tour and album. It is a performance with songs, musicians and singers from the original line-up on Pink Floyd tours, with a light show and video screenings to remember this unforgettable rock opera.

The Wall is the eleventh studio album of the British progressive rock band, Pink Floyd, which was released in 1979 and almost all of the melodies were the work of Roger Waters. Their narrative conception tells of the life of a fictitious rock star called Pink, which is based on Waters’ own experiences.  It is one of the best selling albums of all time, having sold around 33 million copies.

Pink Floyd performed this LP in its entirety during an extensive tour in 1980 and 1981, which was classified as one of the best of music.  Furthermore, in 1990 Waters performed at the mega concert, The Wall Live in Berlin, with stars of the likes of Van Morrison, Sinéad O'Connor, Cyndi Lauper, Scorpions or Bryan Adams to commemorate the fall of the Berlin Wall.  Their performances attracted some of the largest audiences ever.

Born in Surrey (United Kingdom) in 1943, George Roger Waters is a vocalist and bass player who reached worldwide recognition as the composer of albums like The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall. He left Pink Floyd in 1985 due to creative differences with the other members.  In total, he has released four solo albums: The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking (1984), Radio K.A.O.S. (1987), Amused to Death (1992) and Is This the Life We Really Want? (2017).
