Roger Waters, founding member and creative genius behind Pink Floyd, today announced the global film and music release of ‘This Is Not A Drill – Live from Prague The Movie’. Trafalgar Releasing and Sony Music Vision will release the film worldwide beginning on July 23, with tickets on sale beginning June 12 at www.rogerwaters.film.
Originally recorded and filmed during Waters’ live show at the O2 Arena in the Czech Republic on May 25, 2023 this breathtaking new edit is directed by his long-term collaborative partner, Sean Evans.
Billed as his “first ever Farewell Tour”, the show is a stunning indictment of the corporate dystopia in which we all struggle to survive and is dedicated to “our brothers and sisters all over the world who are engaged in the existential battle for the soul of humanity”.

Together, the production is an extraordinary assault on the senses – musically, visually, politically and philosophically.
