Roger Waters Legendary Production The Wall Shatters Attendance Records in South America

Roger Waters’ current production of the progressive rock classic The Wall has smashed attendance records in South America, playing to over 750,000 fans across a record-breaking 15 open-air stadium concerts in Chile, Brazil and Argentina. According to Columbia Records, this is the largest number of stadium shows ever played in South America by an international artist on one tour.

The South American phase of The Wall included a record breaking 9 sold out shows in Buenos Aires, River Plate Stadium, exceeding the previous record of 5 nights held by the Rolling Stones.

The Wall, an aural and visual progressive rock masterpiece, has so far played 150 shows for a gross of $218 million US Dollars in 27 countries. Due to overwhelming popular demand, The Wall returns to North America in 2012 kicking off this weekend, April 27 and 28th, at the Foro Sol stadium in Mexico for a historic run of 41 performances at stadiums and arenas.

The U.S. and Canadian leg begins on May 1st at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas with dates through July 14th at the Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, including 2 nights at New York’s prestigious Yankee Stadium and 1 once-in-a-lifetime night at the world-famous Los Angeles Coliseum, for a total of 9 stadium shows.

Tickets are available now at Ticketmaster.com and LiveNation.com.
