Luck and Strange (concerts)
2024 concert tour by David Gilmour
Luck and Strange was a concert series by English musician David Gilmour to support his fifth solo album, Luck and Strange (2024). The tour was Gilmour's shortest solo tour, at only 21 concerts, held in Rome, London, Los Angeles and New York.
Background and development
Gilmour said that he had replaced some of the musicians in the touring band, as he felt “it was all too robotic, and some people would have been better off in a Pink Floyd tribute band. So I thought we’d get people who are genuinely creative and give them a little more space." In August 2024 Gilmour told Rolling Stone that he would like to have his daughter Romany join the tour to sing "Between Two Points" but said it would have to work around her university commitments; she subsequently appeared at all dates.
Dates for the tour were released in stages with early access to tickets given to those who pre-ordered the Luck and Strange album via Gilmour's online shop. Dates for London's Royal Albert Hall were announced first, followed by dates for the Circus Maximus in Rome. Four US dates were announced; two for the Hollywood Bowl and two for Madison Square Garden, with a third New York date added just days later. On 16 May 2024 another date each for Los Angeles and New York were added due to high demand. In June Gilmour announced another LA show, this time at the newly built Intuit Dome. On 11 September 2024 two so-called rehearsal shows at the Brighton Centre were announced for 20 and 21 September 2024, with each show limited to 1500 attendees.
