Pink Floyd co-founder and drummer Nick Mason has announced the rescheduled dates of his North American tour with his band, Saucerful of Secrets. The dates, now scheduled for the fall, had been planned to begin in mid-January but were postponed citing “uncertainty surrounding the Covid pandemic.” The North American tour, with the band performing early Floyd classics, now begins on Sept. 22 following an extensive tour of the U.K. and Europe this spring and summer. (The U.K. shows had been delayed for a third time due to the uncertainty surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic.)
Eight dates have been added to the North American run, though the re-routing required that concerts in Cincinnati, St. Louis, Memphis, KC, Sacramento and Spokane needed to be canceled. See the full itinerary below. Tickets for the concerts are available here.
“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,” said Nick Mason in the March 21 announcement. “We wanted to make sure to come back when it’s safe for our fans, the band, and our crew.”
Mason released a live album in autumn 2020, recorded in London. The 22-track collection, titled Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets Live at the Roundhouse, is available in a variety of formats. The concerts on the recordings took place in May 2019.

As Mason noted when he first formed the combo, “With the help of some like-minded friends, I have embarked on a voyage of discovery of the music that was the launch pad of Pink Floyd and my working life. It seems too early to retire, and I missed the interaction with other musicians.”
He is the only constant member of Pink Floyd, performing on all of their albums as well as all of their live shows.
Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets are Mason, Spandau Ballet guitarist Gary Kemp, longtime Pink Floyd touring bassist Guy Pratt, guitarist Lee Harris and keyboardist Dom Beken.
The group played their first gigs at four intimate live shows at London’s Dingwalls and The Half Moon in Putney in May 2018. These were Mason’s first live musical outings since Pink Floyd’s Division Bell tour in 1994, and the show at Dingwalls was his first since Pink Floyd played at the 2005 Live 8 concert in London.
The band went on to sell-out theaters around the world including three nights at London’s Roundhouse, where Pink Floyd played some of their most revered early shows in the 1960’s.
In April 2019, Mason’s longtime bandmate, Roger Waters, joined him on stage.

The 2022 tour will see the band further expand their repertoire and will play songs from Pink Floyd’s early catalog up to the 1972 album Obscured by Clouds.
