Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour is playing a number of large venues on his 2016 North American Tour, but fans in Chicago will have a chance to see him in a much more intimate setting. Gilmour has added a performance at The Auditorium Theatre in Chicago on April 6. The Auditorium Theatre has a total capacity of 3,875; a far cry from the United Center’s 20,500. The United Center hosts Gilmour’s other Chicago performances on April 4 and 8. Tickets for David Gilmour at Chicago’s Auditorium Theatre go on sale this Friday, August 21 at 10 a.m. CT via Ticketmaster. Gilmour advised fans he wanted to play a theatre during the tour as he fondly remembered this particular venue from Pink Floyd shows back in October 1971 and April 1972.

David Gilmour’s Rattle That Lock LP comes out on September 18. The guitarist has shared a taste of the album’s second single, “5AM”:
