In the same interview, Waters stated the tour would only visit arenas, with no concerts held in outdoor venues, and it would visit cities in United States, Canada, "and maybe three gigs in Mexico City. We were talking about, what should we call it? I shouldn't be giving this away, but I don't give a shit because it will probably all change, but imagine the iconic helicopter that normally comes before “ Happiest Days” and “ Brick 2” - that noise that we all know and love - and imagine a megaphone, somebody abused this device before, I know - but, “This is not a drill.” I thought that could be a good title for the show: This Is Not a Drill.
