Pink Floyd Members David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Roger Waters Announce Long-Awaited Reunion Show “One Last Ride”
In news that has sent shockwaves through the world of rock music, the surviving members of Pink Floyd—David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Roger Waters—have officially announced a historic reunion concert titled *“One Last Ride”*. Set to take place this fall at Wembley Stadium, the show will mark the band’s first full-scale performance together in nearly two decades, and, as the name suggests, is being billed as their final appearance together on stage.
For fans of the legendary progressive rock band, this is a moment few ever thought possible. After decades of public feuds, creative differences, and an extended period of separation, the core trio will come together to honor Pink Floyd’s unparalleled legacy and deliver what they call “a celebration of the music, the message, and the memories.”

### A Surprise Announcement
The announcement came via a joint statement released on social media and the band’s official website on Friday morning. Accompanied by a short video montage of iconic Pink Floyd visuals—floating pigs, dark prisms, and archival performance clips—the statement read:
> “After many years apart, we’ve decided to come together for one final performance. ‘One Last Ride’ is for the fans, the music, and the spirit that still lives on in each note we ever played. We don’t intend to look back with regret—but forward, with one last embrace of everything we created together.”
The reunion concert is scheduled for **October 10, 2025**, at London’s famed Wembley Stadium. Promoters have confirmed it will be a one-night-only event, with no plans for a tour or additional performances. All proceeds will go toward mental health initiatives and climate change research—causes close to the hearts of all three members.

### A Rift Mended?
The reunion comes after years of tension and estrangement, particularly between David Gilmour and Roger Waters. Since Waters’ departure from the band in 1985, the two have had a famously fraught relationship, marred by legal battles and contrasting visions of the band’s legacy.
But according to sources close to the band, private conversations and a shared desire to “leave things whole” in their later years helped bring the trio back together.
In a rare joint interview with *Rolling Stone*, Gilmour said, “We’ve all mellowed. Time has a way of shrinking the distance between people. And ultimately, the music mattered more than the arguments.”
Waters echoed the sentiment: “We’ve carried a lot of weight. I think it’s time to set that down and walk on stage together one more time—not for ego, but for the music and the fans who kept it alive.”
Drummer Nick Mason, who has maintained good relationships with both Gilmour and Waters over the years, played a key role in mediating discussions and laying the groundwork for the reunion. “This isn’t about reliving the past,” Mason said. “It’s about honoring it. We still have something to say—even if it’s just to say goodbye.”

### What to Expect
The setlist for *One Last Ride* is being kept under wraps, but insiders say fans can expect a powerful mix of Pink Floyd’s most iconic songs—from *The Dark Side of the Moon*, *Wish You Were Here*, and *The Wall*—as well as deep cuts that haven’t been performed live in decades.
Accompanying the trio will be a handpicked ensemble of musicians who have worked with Pink Floyd in the past, including backing vocalists, keyboardists, and a visual production team tasked with delivering the immersive, otherworldly atmosphere that defined Floyd’s legendary live shows.
The event will be livestreamed globally, with a limited theatrical release planned for select IMAX theaters and a deluxe Blu-ray edition scheduled for early 2026.

### Fan Reactions and Legacy
Fans and critics alike are calling the reunion “the musical event of the decade.” Social media exploded within minutes of the announcement, with hashtags like #PinkFloydReunion and #OneLastRide trending worldwide.
“Pink Floyd were never just a band—they were a cultural movement,” said music historian Lisa Grant. “To see these artists come together again, even for one night, is to witness living history. It’s emotional, it’s unexpected, and it’s going to be unforgettable.”
For the members themselves, *One Last Ride* represents more than a final concert—it’s a chance to end the story on their own terms.
“This is not a comeback,” said Gilmour. “It’s a closing chapter. And we want it to be beautiful.”
