David Gilmour launched his 2024 solo tour with a performance at Circo Massimo in Rome, Italy on Friday night.
Surrounded by the ancient ruins — commonly known by its Latin name, Circus Maximus — Gimour delivered material from throughout his incredible career. The show began with “5 A.M.,” an instrumental tune released in 2015. From there, Gilmour launched into a pair of songs from his recently released fifth solo album, “Black Cat” and the title track, “Luck and Strange.”
While solo material was found throughout the set, Gilmour was sure to work in plenty of Pink Floyd classics as well. “Breath (In the Air),” “A Great Day for Freedom” and “Wish You Were Here” were among the many Pink Floyd tunes performed on the night. Gilmour’s closing encore was “Comfortably Numb,” the timeless track from 1979’s LP The Wall.

When Was David Gilmour’s Last Tour?
Gilmour last toured in 2016, when he was supporting his fourth studio album, Rattle That Lock. The Pink Floyd rocker has played various one-off gigs since then, but the Rome show marks the start of his first official tour in eight years.
