Pink Floyd fans will set their controls for the heart of Dunedin when Roger Waters performs in the city next year, and Robbie Williams' legion of supporters could soon be joining them.

It was confirmed this morning Waters (73), a founding member of Pink Floyd, will bring his US + THEM tour to New Zealand in January, touring the country for the first time since The Wall Live broke sales records in 2012.

Waters would perform at Forsyth Barr Stadium on Tuesday January 30, days after playing Auckland's Spark Arena on January 24.

However, rumours are also circulating of another big concert announcement for Dunedin - said to be Robbie Williams - expected as soon as tomorrow morning.

Dunedin Venues staff have been approached for comment but are yet to respond.

Tickets to Waters' show will go on sale at midday on Friday, September 8.

Williams is already scheduled to appear in Australia early next year, when he performs a post-race concert at the Adelaide 500 on March 4, but is yet to confirm concert dates beyond that.

Fans reacted with delight to the coup yesterday, coming just months after the stadium secured three Ed Sheeran concerts for March and April next year.

And, last month, it was confirmed Fleetwood Mac star Stevie Nicks would return to the stadium with The Pretenders, fronted by Chrissie Hynde, for a double-act show on November 24.

Waters is at present touring North America, where he has garnered rave reviews for US + THEM, which drew on Pink Floyd's greatest albums - The Dark Side of The Moon, The Wall, Animals, and Wish You Were Here.

It also included new material from Roger Waters' album Is This the Life We Really Want?, which recently debuted at number two on the RIANZ Album Chart.
