Roger Waters’ tour of The Wall has smashed attendance records in South America, playing to over 750,000 fans during 15 open-air stadium shows in Chile, Brazil and Argentina. The nine sold-out shows at the River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires beat the previous five nights record held by the Rolling Stones.

Waters began touring The Wall in 2010 and has since performed 150 shows in 27 countries, with a gross of $218M. The show picked up the “Major Tour of the Year” and “Most Creative Stage Production” awards at the Pollstar Music Industry Awards in 2010, and won the latter for a second time in 2011.

Waters plays the Foro Sol stadium in Mexico City tonight, before beginning the US/Canadian leg of The Wall tour on Tuesday (May 1) in Houston, Texas.
