An an Italian news resource goes on to say (Article has been translated to English):

The legendary Pink Floyd drummer, the only member of the band to have played on all their studio albums, returns to the excavations of Pompeii in concert on July 24 in the Teatro Grande, 52 years after the historic live behind closed doors, filmed and immortalized by the cameras of Adrian Maben, with his ‘Saucerful Of Secrets’, produced by D’Alessandro e Galli. 

Unanimously approved the honorary citizenship of Pompeii as well as to Nick Mason, the ceremony presided over by the mayor Carmine Lo Sapio, will be held at the Municipality in the council hall on the same day of the concert.
 
Accompanying Nick Mason on stage will be a superband he founded in 2018: Guy Pratt on bass (with Pink Floyd since 1987), Gary Kemp vocals and guitar (founding member of Spandau Ballet), Lee Harris (Blockheads) on solo guitar and Dom Beken (The Orb) on keyboards. The show will focus on the first albums of Pink Floyd’s career pre ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’. A return to the dawn that will stage the superband, to the years when Syd Barrett “crazy diamond” was the author of the lyrics and the soul of what would later become one of the largest and most influential groups in history. Mason stated that they are not a tribute band, but that they want to ‘capture the spirit of the time and transmit it to the public’ through tracks extracted from records such as ‘The Piper at the Gates of Dawn’ (1967), ‘A Saucerful Of Secrets’ (1968), ‘Ummagumma’ (1969) and ‘Meddle’ (1971).
