Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets has rolled out a 28-city North American fall run. Rolling Stone reported that the band — led by Pink Floyd‘s co-founding drummer — has added eight new stops to the leg, which are mainly rescheduled dates that were on the books prior to the pandemic.
As it stands now, Mason and the band will kick things off on September 22nd at Boston’s Shubert Theatre and wind things down on this side of the pond on November 1st in Vancouver at The Orpheum.
Saucerful Of Secrets’ setlists are comprised of all early Floyd material, predating the 1973 classic, The Dark Side Of The Moon, with a heavy emphasis on the band’s early era and the work of the band’s original guiding force, the late-Syd Barrett. In addition to Mason on drums, Saucerful Of Secrets includes Gary Kemp — of Spandau Ballet fame — on guitar and vocals, Guy Pratt on bass, Lee Harris on guitar, and Dom Beken on keyboards.
Nick Mason said in a statement, “We are really looking forward to returning to North America and we’re happy to be able to now announce these new dates for later this year. We wanted to make sure to come back when it’s safe for our fans, the band, and our crew.”
Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets kicks off its European dates on April 13th at Dublin, Ireland’s Convention Centre.
