From Roger Waters to Roxy Music: 5 shows we can’t wait to see this fall

It’s shaping up to be one of the hottest fall seasons on record.

And, no, we’re not talking about the weather.

We’re talking concerts.

Just as expected, many of the acts that postponed/canceled their concert tour plans in 2020, 2021 and, even, early 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic are now bringing their road show to town this fall.

Also, the festival scene just keeps getting stronger, with some of the area’s most highly anticipated multiday musical gatherings set to happen this fall.

Here’s a look at some of the top music events happening in the Bay Area over the next few months:

Pink Floyd x 2

Pink Floyd fans should be over the (dark side of the) moon, as two of the legendary group’s founding members are set to bring tours through the Bay Area.

First up is Roger Waters, who takes his Floyd-centric arena spectacular into Northern California for three huge shows in September. The rescheduled This Is Not a Drill trek — which Waters reportedly has been calling his “first farewell tour” — was originally set to begin in mid-2020, but didn’t actually kick off until July 2022. The set lists have been phenomenal, offering up such Floyd masterworks as “Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI-IX),” “Sheep” and “Have a Cigar.”
