The Wall 2010 News Roundup Wow! it's a wonder the AFG server managed to survive the onslaught of the many thousands of you who have been flocking to this site hourly over the last few days. Yesterday (12 April) was the third busiest day this site has had in it's almost 13 year history! The interest in Roger Waters Wall tour has been staggering, and there are stories and articles popping up all over the place, so much so that it's been hard to track everything that's going on. To help, we have decided to bring you some of the highlights that have been confirmed for the tour and that have just been announced. We are delighted to say that Dave Kilminster has been confirmed for the lead (and of Course Snowy is on board as reported below). The show will be a state-of-the art affair, featuring a 240-foot-wide and 35-foot-tall wall constructed and subsequently torn down during the concerts. Gerald Scarfe, who worked on the original tour and the1982 film, is providing new art and redesigning puppets and inflatable objects. (Video technology allows for projections twice the size of those in the original Wall dates). Roger has also said that this will probably be his last tour saying in one interview "I have a swan song in me and I think this will probably be it." It's also expected that more dates, including shows in Europe, will be announced in the near future.
