The new song is called "The Ballad Of Jean Charles De Menezes", which tells the real story of a man who was shot dead by police in London in the wake of terrorist attacks and fear in the city.
"It's a surprise to people," Waters said of the song. "They've never heard it before."
The new show adds brand new special effects. One example: the plane crash sequence has doubled in length and ends in a "spectacular fireball" thanks to new HD technology and a bigger stage set.
"It's beautiful," Waters told Something Else (via Prog). "I sometimes get stranded at one end. 'F--k, I've got to get back to the middle of the stage in about eight seconds!'"

Will you attend the new Wall show this year? Have you seen it before? Let us know what it was like in the comments.
I saw him in Edmonton last year and it was mind blowing, simply one of the best performances ever. I think everyone should see Roger Waters as well as Aussie Floyd, Waters obviously puts on a better show but the Aussie Floyd is phenominal they sound just like Pink Floyd.
Was incredibly lucky to see the May 2011 show where Dave Gimour performed Comfortably Numb with Roger, then Nick joining for the last song. It was a beautiful moment in the history of Pink Floyd and my first experience of them sharing a stage. I'll never forget that, it was an event that I will cherish.
I've been fortunate enough to get tickets for my brother and I to go to see the big show in Wembley and I'm not going to regret the spend, it's a show that every music/entertainment lover would enjoy. Cannot recommend it enough!
Roll on the Blu-ray (with DG & NM footage too please)!
Epic show, saw it few years ago and going again in September. Most amazing live event I will ever see.
However, he added this new song midway through the last tour, so the news is 1 and a half years old. Great job UG.
THANK YOU! He did that song when I saw The Wall in LA on May 2012, and it's in the program booklet they sell during the tour. It's new for this day and age, yes, but it's not breaking news.
