# Luck and Strange tour

The Luck and Strange tour was a concert tour 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

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. The tour was generally well received by critics.

## Set lists

Prior to the tour, Gilmour said he did not want to play much of the 1970s Pink Floyd material on this tour and that the albums A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987) and The Division Bell (1994) should be represented. He also said at least one song from the 1960s would be played, which had usually been "Astronomy Domine" on previous tours. In an August 2024 interview with Rolling Stone, asked about playing songs from the 1970s Pink Floyd albums, Gilmour said: "One has to wake up to reality [...] I will be doing one or two things from that time. I know people love them, and I love playing them. I’ll be doing "Wish You Were Here," [...] and some of the things that started with me anyway." When asked if he will be playing "Comfortably Numb" Gilmour said "Yeah, quite likely. Quite likely." He added that he would not be performing "Money" from The Dark Side of the Moon (1973).
On 6 September 2024, to mark the release of the album, Gilmour and his band broadcast a livestream via YouTube during which they performed "Between Two Points", "Breathe", "Time"/"Breathe (Reprise)", and "Dark and Velvet Nights". During the beginning of the tour, almost all of the Luck and Strange album was played, omitting only "Sings" and "A Single Spark" which were added on 1 October and 14 October, respectively from which point the whole album would be played, albeit scattered throughout the show. The tour's set was as follows:

## Personnel

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.
