Pink Floyd concert chronology

The Wall Tour was a concert tour by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd throughout 1980–1981 in support of their concept album The Wall.

The tour was relatively small compared to previous tours for a major release, with only 31 shows performed across four venues. Concerts were performed only in England, the United States and Germany. The tour was notable for its extensive use of stage theatrics, most notably a giant wall constructed across the stage to convey the sense of alienation present in both the album, and Roger Waters' personal feelings at the time.

This was the last tour of Pink Floyd with Roger Waters, before his departure in 1985. 17 June 1981 was the last concert of the tour, and the band's last full concert with Waters (he joined them again on 2 July 2005 at Live 8).
