The city of Munich has decided not to ban a May 21 concert by Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters, who has been accused of anti-Semitism.
The city said on Wednesday that for legal reasons it is not possible to terminate the contract. Waters had threatened legal action if the concerts were cancelled.
Instead, the city will set up signs around the concert venue calling for international understanding, condemning anti-Semitism and supporting both Israel’s right to exist and the sovereignty of Ukraine.
Mayor Dieter Reiter said it was “unspeakable and intolerable” to allow a performance by an artist who is relatively certain to spout propaganda critical of Israel, and in some cases clearly anti-Semitic slogans.
“I don’t want him here but we have to put up with it now,” Reiter said.
As part of Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets 2023 Echoes Tour, the band has announced they are will be playing Pompeii on 24 July. The amphitheatre (Where Pink Floyd famously played) is unavailable for concerts, so the performance will be in the similarly ancient Grand Theatre in the grounds of the ruins.

David Gilmour in Concert - Live at the Hammersmith Odeon (1984)
David Gilmour in concert 84 is a film by David Gilmour from his 1984 tour supporting the album About Face. The film is mainly a concert performance from the Hammersmith Odeon in London on April 30, 1984.
A documentary called After the Floyd, which followed Gilmour on the 1984 solo tour, includes interviews with David on tour buses (the bus driver refers to David as the ex-guitarist of Pink Floyd) and in hotel rooms. Also included is more live footage of concerts and soundchecks in Europe. It is now long out of production.
Thanks to the advancement of technology, this has now been upscaled and presented on YouTube in the clearest quality to date.

Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening will support Gov’t Mule’s on tour as the 50th anniversary of The Dark Side of the Moon is celebrated
Gov’t Mule are to join the throng of those celebrating the 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side Of The Moon. The band have announced a 13-date Dark Side Of The Mule tour – where they’ll play a set of Floyd classics – with support from Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening.
The run of 13 shows will commence at the Etess Arena in Atlantic City, NJ on July 22, and climax at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ, on August 19. Tickets go on sale March 10
The Dark Side Of The Muleconcept dates back to 2008, when the band played a set of Pink Floyd covers at the Orpheum Theater in Boston, MA. The show was subsequently released as a live album in 2014, and was reissued in May of last year.
“This all started so organically with what we thought would be a one-time Halloween performance,” says Gov’t Mule frontman Warren Haynes. “Since then, Dark Side Of The Mule has grown into something else. It’s a blast to perform this material but our intent is to do it for one final tour in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Dark Side. Don’t miss it!”
Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening launched in 2010, and have since toured the globe performing the Led Zep catalogue, touring with the likes of Heart and Kid Rock. “It’s the greatest to represent my family and play these songs live,” Bonham says.
Gov’t Mule’s Dark Side Of The Mule dates are in addition to a previously-announced 11-date tour in May, and three New Year shows postponed from 2022.
