It will be the first time Waters has toured Europe since The Wall Live (2010-2013).

The British Summer Time festival started in 2013 and has attracted some of the biggest names in music, including the Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber.

AEG Live senior vice president James King said: “Roger Waters consistently delivers the most exciting live experience I’ve ever seen. His legendary set from Desert Trip set new standards in production that to this day stand unsurpassed.

“To see his live show on The Great Oak Stage providing a soundtrack of Pink Floyd’s greatest hits will be a spectacle not to be missed.”
