David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Roger Waters Announce “One Last Ride” Reunion Show: A Historic Moment for Pink Floyd Fans……
In a moment that fans of progressive rock and classic rock thought might never come, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Roger Waters have officially announced a highly anticipated reunion show titled “One Last Ride.” The announcement, made jointly through their respective social media channels and official websites, has sent waves of excitement through the music world. This will mark the first time in decades that the key surviving members of Pink Floyd will share a stage in a fully-fledged reunion performance.
The event, aptly named “One Last Ride,” is being billed as a singular, definitive celebration of Pink Floyd’s legendary legacy, symbolizing not only the band’s profound impact on modern music but also an emotional closure for millions of devoted fans around the globe.
A History of Division, Now Unity
Pink Floyd, one of the most influential and commercially successful bands in history, has been defined as much by its innovation in sound and concept as by the internal conflicts that plagued its members. Following the acrimonious departure of bassist and primary lyricist Roger Waters in the mid-1980s, relations between Waters and the rest of the band—especially guitarist and vocalist David Gilmour—remained frosty for years. Though drummer Nick Mason has often been seen as the mediator, the band’s classic lineup never fully reunited for a tour after their legendary Live 8 appearance in 2005.
That one-off performance marked the first time Waters, Gilmour, Mason, and the late Richard Wright had shared a stage since 1981. Despite widespread acclaim and fan demand for more shows, a full-scale reunion never materialized. Wright’s passing in 2008 appeared to put an end to any such possibility—until now.
The Show
Set to take place at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium on September 21, 2025, “One Last Ride” is already being hailed as a monumental event in music history. The production promises an immersive visual and sonic experience, staying true to Pink Floyd’s tradition of groundbreaking stage design, mind-bending visuals, and impeccable sound.
According to sources close to the production, the setlist will span the entirety of Pink Floyd’s most celebrated work, including tracks from The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall, and Meddle. While the show will focus on the band’s golden-era material, there may also be a tribute segment honoring the late Richard Wright, whose keyboard work and ambient textures were essential to the band’s distinctive sound.
Official Statements
Roger Waters, known for his passionate and sometimes divisive political views, appeared reflective in his announcement: “This isn’t about the past or the disagreements. It’s about the music, the legacy, and the fans who’ve been with us for decades. This is for them.”
David Gilmour, typically reserved about the possibility of reunion projects, stated: “Time has a way of softening old wounds. We all felt this was the right time. Not for the industry, not for the press—but for the music, and for ourselves.”
Nick Mason, the only member to have remained consistently involved in Pink Floyd-related projects, added: “We’ve all gone down our own paths, but the magic we created together was singular. This show is a celebration of that magic.”
Fan Reactions and Ticketing
Within minutes of the announcement, social media erupted with excitement. Hashtags like #OneLastRide, #PinkFloydReunion, and #GilmourWatersMason began trending worldwide. Fans are already preparing to travel across continents to witness what is being described as “the final chapter of a cultural phenomenon.”
Tickets are expected to go on sale next week through authorized vendors, with pre-sales available to subscribers of the official Pink Floyd website. Industry insiders anticipate tickets to sell out within minutes, with resale prices likely to soar into the thousands.
A Farewell, a Tribute, a Moment in History
While no plans for additional shows or tours have been announced, the singular nature of “One Last Ride” suggests it will stand as Pink Floyd’s ultimate farewell. With their individual artistic journeys now woven into the tapestry of rock music history, this reunion is more than just a concert—it is a moment that bridges generations.
For the millions who have journeyed through the psychedelic landscapes of Echoes, the dark introspection of The Wall, or the cosmic themes of Dark Side, “One Last Ride” is more than a nostalgic event. It’s the closing note of a symphony that defined an era—and a final salute to a legacy that will echo forever.
