Iconic rocker Roger Waters will make his first visit to Australia in more than five years in February next year, undertaking a six-date headline run for his internationally acclaimed Us & Them tour.

The legendary Pink Floyd member will start off at Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena on Friday 2 February, hitting major venues across the country including in Brisbane, Melbourne (two shows), Adelaide and Perth over the course of his sojourn.

The Us & Them tour is his first such undertaking since his three-year-long The Wall Live venture, which sold-out across the globe and encompassed almost 220 shows, going on to become the highest-grossing tour by any solo artist in history, a record it still holds today.

Taking its title from 1974's track of the same name from the band's The Dark Side Of The Moon, the tour promises to highlight Waters' peerless oeuvre, including that watershed album along with songs from The Wall, Animals and Wish You Were Here, alongside newer material from his most recent album Is This The Life We Really Want?.

The tour is currently going through North America, where it has been enthusiastically received by fans and critics alike for its career-spanning set list and state-of-the-art audio-visual production.

A pre-sale for the Australian leg will be held for Telstra members from 9am local time on Monday, 4 September, running until 9am Wednesday or until the allocation is exhausted.

General public tickets will go on sale from 10am local time on Friday 8 September via Waters' website.
