Roger Waters will bring his solo tour to New Orleans for the first time this Saturday when the English rock icon headlines the Smoothie King Center. Waters has bypassed New Orleans on all of his previous outings, with the notable exception of a pair of 1970 Pink Floyd shows at The Warehouse (they were co-bills with the Allman Brothers). The group also played a concert at the Superdome during their final tour in 1994, but Waters hadn’t been part of the band for nine years by that point.

Pink Floyd’s mind-bending brand of arena rock is, naturally, meant to be performed in arenas, though that’s as much a product of the band’s famously spectacular visual productions as it is a product of the music itself. Waters’ solo tours are no different, and the legendary bassist/songwriter has developed his own reputation for over-the-top productions. By all accounts, his current Us + Them Tour—with its massive LED displays, puppetry, psychedelic imagery and surround sound audio—delivers on that front.

Waters’ reputation for concert pageantry is, perhaps, only exceeded by his reputation for political forthrightness. Both of these tendencies have taken center stage during his Us + Them shows, which combine the timeless anti-authoritarianism of Pink Floyd’s music with visuals that reference contemporary political issues, particularly Waters’ disdain for the current President of the United States.

The music, however, is what will draw most fans to the Smoothie King this Saturday, and a cursory glance at setlists from earlier Us + Them stops makes it clear that fans are unlikely to be disappointed. If these past gigs are any indication, New Orleans will be treated to a solid variety of Pink Floyd classics and fan favorites, as well as a handful of tunes from Waters’ brand new solo album, Is This The Life We Really Want?

A lot of those earlier stops sold out well in advance, but that’s not yet the case for Saturday’s performance. Tickets for the concert are still on sale for face value via Ticketmaster.
