Credit: Jill FurmanovskyPink Floyd fans wishing drummer Nick Mason would bring his new group Saucerful of Secrets to North America will have their wish granted in 2019. The band, which focuses on Pink Floyd’s early catalog, has announced that its first North American tour will kick off March 12 in Vancouver, Canada on a 25-date trek mapped out through an April 22 show in Washington, D.C., with stops in most every major U.S. city, plus Montreal and Quebec, along the way.

Tickets for many of the shows will go on sale to the general public this Monday, November 5, at 10 a.m. local time via LiveNation.com, while tickets for the remaining dates will be available starting Friday, November 9, at 10 a.m. local time.

This will mark the first time Mason has performed in North America since Pink Floyd’s Division Bell Tour ended in July 1994.

Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets also features Spandau Ballet guitarist Gary Kemp, longtime Pink Floyd and David Gilmour touring bassist Guy Pratt, guitarist Lee Harris and keyboardist Dom Beken. The group, which wrapped up a European trek last month, performs material that Pink Floyd recorded prior to 1973’s The Dark Side of the Moon.

“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,” says Mason. “It seems too early to retire, and I missed the interaction with other musicians.”

The band also has lined up a run of 2019 U.K. shows in late April and early May. Check out the full itinerary at TheSaucerfulofSecrets.com.
