The Roger Waters-sanctioned Pink Floyd tribute show Roger Waters Presents Legacy – A Pink Floyd Show will visit the UK and Ireland next year.

Roger Waters isn’t part of the tour, but the 10-piece band will be directed by his son Harry Waters. North American dates for the production were announced last week.

The UK and Ireland shows commence on June 16 at Manchester O2 Apollo and run through to June 29 at Dublin’s 3Arena.

“These songs have meant so much to so many people for so many years, and I’m excited for audiences to come together and experience them live again,” says Roger Waters. “Harry has assembled a terrific band, and I can’t wait for fans around the world to see the special show we’ve created together.”

“I fell in love with the music immediately,” says Harry Waters. “It really had an impact on me, irrespective of any bias, because it was Dad’s music. I still love it deeply to this day. Collaborating with Dad on this new production is such an honour, and I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to bring this music to fans old and new, around the world.”

Waters Jr.’s connections to the music of Pink Floyd run deep.

As a two-year-old, his voice was used on Pink Floyd’s Goodbye Blue Sky, and he played in his father’s solo band for 14 years before being fired prior to the Us + Them tour in 2016.

Los Angeles–based singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and professional chef Emmalee Rainbow is excited to announce her second EP, Café Society,

On November 20, Saba Lou will release her new album Nothing But Love on Ernest Jenning Record Co.

Melbourne’s Delivery have today announced details of a new album, Zone 3, which will be released on February

Modern metal force Left To Suffer have officially announced their new full-length album, “Unwelcome Guest”, arriving October 9

Metal Breakdown Daily is one page, every weekday: the episode on the player below and the three stories in print, so you can listen, read, or both. Today the Sepultura final show is the story: the band’s last concert ever, November 7 in São Paulo, has moved from the 26,000-capacity Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu to the 9,000-seat Suhai Music Hall, and two nights earlier they’ll hold an intimate event called The Last Ceremony at Cine Joia. Half the internet reads that as a failure. I read it as the most honest thing a metal band has done this year.

Also today: the Scorpions biopic Wind Of Change has a trailer, a cast and a January release, and Chad Gray has cancelled two solo shows over ‘deep vocal issues’ with a statement that should be the template for how singers do this.

STREAM THE METAL BREAKDOWN DAILY NOW:

Scott Penfold opens today’s Metal Breakdown Daily with Sepultura’s shrinking farewell and the Last Ceremony, then the Scorpions movie trailer and Chad Gray’s cancellations, and closes with a Take aimed squarely at the ‘not without the Cavaleras’ crowd.

Sepultura’s Final Show Moves To A 9,000-Seat Room, And Adds A Last Ceremony

Sepultura’s final concert is November 7 at Suhai Music Hall in São Paulo, downsized last month from the 26,000-capacity Pacaembu stadium, with a new intimate event, The Last Ceremony, on November 5 at Cine Joia.

The Ceremony is the new piece. The band has announced the date and the venue, a converted old cinema in the city, and the word ‘intimate’, and nothing else. No format, no ticket details, no explanation of what happens in the room. If I had to guess, it’s the night the band gets to say goodbye to the people who stayed, before the finale with the cameras on it. That is a guess.

The finale itself still has the bill it was announced with: Krisiun, Sacred Reich and Metal Allegiance, which means Mike Portnoy, Alex Skolnick and Chuck Billy, Phil Demmel and Troy Sanders are flying to Brazil to watch a band end. Pacaembu tickets carry over to the new room. Anyone who can’t make the new venue can get a refund.

No reason for the move has been given, and I’m not going to invent one. What I will say is what it signals, and that’s The Take.

The Scorpions Movie Finally Has A Trailer, A Cast And A Date

Wind Of Change, the Scorpions biopic, opens in German cinemas on January 28, 2027, with Alexander Dreymon as Rudolf Schenker, Ludwig Trepte as Klaus Meine, Ed Speleers as Matthias Jabs, Luke Brandon Field as Herman Rarebell and Dominic West as manager Doc McGhee.

A year after the teaser, the full trailer arrived this week, in German, so don’t be alarmed when Klaus opens his mouth and it isn’t Klaus. There is no North American date yet. The film was meant to land for the band’s 60th anniversary in late 2025 and got caught in the Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery mess.

The smart decision is the scope. It doesn’t try to do sixty years. It runs from the early days in Hanover to one song in 1990 that became the sound of the Berlin Wall coming down. Klaus Meine: ‘Lots of music movies only focus on the sex, drugs and rock’n’roll. But this one has another side too.’

That’s the right call. Bohemian Rhapsody tried to fit Queen’s whole life into two hours and had to rearrange the facts to do it. Pick the one moment where a hard rock band from West Germany accidentally wrote the end of the Cold War and you have a film. And Dominic West as Doc McGhee is the best piece of casting in a rock movie since Rami Malek put the teeth in. One footnote: the band has pushed the rest of this year’s shows to 2027, with no explanation. Keep an eye on that.

Chad Gray Cancels San Diego And Santa Ana With A Statement Worth Reading

Chad Gray has cancelled the San Diego and Santa Ana dates of his 30 Years Of Madness solo tour, citing ‘deep vocal issues’ and illness; Las Vegas on October 7 at Fremont Country Club is still on.

His statement, in his words: ‘If you saw the Aftershock show, you know I was having a tough one. I’ve been dealing with some deep vocal issues, and then that day I got sick’ and, as he put it, he was completely flattened. ‘I’m so incredibly sorry to my Metal family in San Diego and Santa Ana, but I’m going to have to cancel these shows. It absolutely breaks my heart.’

Meet-and-greet packages for the cancelled dates can be moved to Vegas or refunded in full. Ticketmaster refunds are automatic; anyone who bought from a reseller goes back to the reseller.

Here’s the opinion. Thirty years of doing what Chad Gray does to a human throat, across Mudvayne, Hellyeah and now a solo set that runs both catalogues back to back, and the surprise isn’t that the voice gave out for a weekend. The surprise is that it took this long. He told people what was wrong, plainly, before the internet could tell it for him. More singers should take notes.

The Take: Not Real Sepultura Without The Cavaleras? Read The Dates.

Max Cavalera left Sepultura in 1996 and Igor Cavalera in 2006. Andreas Kisser and Paulo Jr. have been in the band since the eighties and have carried it for thirty years. That is not a tribute act. That is the band.

They carried it through Derrick Green. They carried it through Eloy Casagrande walking out to join Slipknot three weeks before a farewell tour started, and through a kid named Greyson Nekrutman learning the set in a month. The people typing ‘not without Max and Igor’ mostly stopped buying tickets in 1996, and that is a large part of why the stadium didn’t sell. You can’t skip thirty years of a band and then be upset about the room.

And the downgrade itself? I’d argue it’s the point. Kiss retired four times. Mötley Crüe signed a piece of paper saying they’d never tour again, then toured. Ozzy’s No More Tours was 1992. The farewell industry runs on pretending. Sepultura said they were done, booked the biggest room in the city, found out the real number, and played the real number instead of papering the house or quietly cancelling. Nine thousand people who want to be there beats twenty-six thousand with the top deck tarped off.

That’s the most Sepultura thing about it. Go put on Chaos A.D., the record that helped define groove metal, and argue with me in the comments.

TL;DR

• Sepultura’s last show ever, November 7 in São Paulo, has moved from a 26,000-seat stadium to the 9,000-seat Suhai Music Hall, with an intimate Last Ceremony on November 5 at Cine Joia. Old tickets carry over; refunds available.
• The Scorpions biopic Wind Of Change opens in Germany on January 28, 2027, with Dominic West as Doc McGhee, and covers the years up to one song in 1990 rather than the whole career.
• Chad Gray has cancelled San Diego and Santa Ana on his solo tour over ‘deep vocal issues’; Las Vegas on October 7 is still on.
• The Take: Sepultura playing the real number instead of a half-empty stadium is the most honest farewell in metal in years, and the ‘not without the Cavaleras’ argument is thirty years out of date.
