Roger Waters ‘This Is Not A Drill – Live From Prague – The Movie' Coming to Cinemas Worldwide
Tickets for cinema screenings worldwide are now on sale at www.rogerwaters.film.
Originally recorded and filmed during Waters' live show at the O2 Arena in the Czech Republic on May 25, 2023, this breathtaking new edit is directed by his long-term collaborative partner, Sean Evans.
Billed as his 'first ever Farewell Tour,' the show is a stunning indictment of the corporate dystopia in which we all struggle to survive and is dedicated to 'our brothers and sisters all over the world who are engaged in the existential battle for the soul of humanity.'
The release will give fans the chance to see and hear his critically acclaimed live show in full cinematic glory and includes 20 classic Pink Floyd and Roger Waters songs, including: 'Us & Them,' 'Comfortably Numb,' 'Wish You Were Here,' and 'Is This The Life We Really Want?' Additionally, Waters performs his highly celebrated new song, 'The Bar.' Together, the production is an extraordinary assault on the senses - musically, visually, politically and philosophically.
The accompanying music, available for preorder now, is set to be released on Legacy Recordings, the catalogue division of Sony Music Entertainment, on August 1, 2025, and will see the performance presented on a 4 LP set/Blu-Ray/2 CD/DVD/Digital Audio. A performance clip of 'Wish You Were Here' is available to view here.
'This Is Not A Drill – Live From Prague – The Movie' is filmed in 8k, providing exceptional detail and clarity, and features an enhanced audio mix. For the production, Waters was joined on stage by his outstanding band of musicians: Jonathan Wilson, Dave Kilminster, Jon Carin, Gus Seyffert, Joey Waronker, Robert Walter, Shanay Johnson, Amanda Belair and Seamus Blake.
Collectively they deliver an unforgettable and powerful performance, with a call to action, to love, protect, and share our precious planet home.

Elvis Presley's Graceland Opens Two New Exhibits
MEMPHIS, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Last week, Graceland welcomed fans from around the world to Memphis for the annual Elvis Week celebration. As part of the festivities, Graceland debuted two new exhibits inside Elvis Presley's Memphis entertainment complex. Colonel Parker's World of Showbusiness shares the story of Elvis' legendary manager, Colonel Tom Parker. The exhibit traces his journey from his early years in Holland and work on the carnival circuit, through his time managing country stars like Eddy Arnold and Hank Snow, and ultimately to his defining role as the manager of Elvis Presley. Serving as Elvis' manager from 1955 until his death in 1977, Colonel Parker was a larger-than-life figure who played a crucial role in the direction and success of the King of Rock 'n' Roll's career. While he is hailed for turning Elvis into a global sensation, Colonel Parker remains a controversial figure in the Elvis world, as he faced significant criticism for his management approach and financial practices. The Colonel's story comes to life in the new exhibit through artifacts from his collection. See canes, hats, and pipes that defined the Colonel's look, along with items from his office and the colorful lab coats that he designed and wore on Elvis' movie sets. Exhibit highlights include his typewriter, awards, rare photographs from his office, and even the 1976 Cadillac Elvis gifted to him. Graceland in Red 1974 is the second exhibit to open at Graceland during Elvis Week 2025. When Elvis purchased the house in 1957, Elvis' mother Gladys' conservative style prevailed with the traditional blue and white décor that one sees when visiting Graceland today. However, in 1974, Graceland underwent dramatic redecoration with Elvis selecting rich colors, plush textures, and new statement pieces for his home. The living room was transformed into a French Provincial theme, featuring red velvet furniture, red satin draperies, oil lamps, mermaid tables, peacock-stained glass panels, and red shag carpet. The décor was bold and vibrant, reflecting Elvis' unique style – and a definite break from the conservative style of his mother. The red décor was in place until 1982, when the living room was reverted to the original blue and white aesthetic before Graceland opened to the public. The red furniture and décor went into warehouse storage. Pieces of the red furniture have been used in small displays at Graceland over the years, but this is the first time guests are able to see a full replica of how the living room looked in 1974. A highlight of the exhibit is the pair of oil lamps carefully restored by the Graceland team to their original condition. Each lamp features a gold-tone frame with a Greco-Roman-inspired figure at its center. Often called 'goddess rain lamps,' they were especially popular in the 1970s. Clear mineral oil flows along fine filaments, creating a shimmering rain effect around the statue. With built-in lighting and greenery at the base, the lamps added both illumination and a sense of luxury to the room's dramatic style. In addition to these two new exhibits, Graceland debuted the 90 for 90 Exhibit in January and refreshed the Elvis Dressed to Rock display in March. All exhibits are now open for touring throughout 2025. Tour tickets available at High-res images and additional press materials are available in the media-only link.

MiAO Secures US$14 Million Strategic Investment from XD Inc., Valuing the Company at Approximately US$264 Million
MiAO today announced that XD Inc. (HKEX: 2400) has become a strategic investor, following a US$14 million investment for a 5.3% equity stake. This latest round brings the company's valuation to approximately US$264 million (nearly RMB 2 billion). Founded in 2022 by Mr. Wu Meng former CEO of Giant Network, MiAO has quickly established itself as a strong player in the gaming industry. Shortly after its inception, the company secured strategic partnerships with leading investors—including Sequoia Capital, Gaorong Ventures, and Monolith—raising an impressive angel round of RMB 100 million (approximately US$14 million). Over the past few years, MiAO has received multiple rounds of investment totaling close to RMB 500 million, including from a major internet company. Achieving this level of investment and valuation at such an early stage is rare in the gaming industry. In fact, many listed game companies have yet to reach a similar scale. Proven Expertise in High-DAU Evergreen Games During his tenure at Giant Network, Mr. Wu and his team launched iconic evergreen titles, including Battle of Balls —which reached tens of millions of daily active users (DAU)—and Super Sus, with millions of DAU. Remarkably, these games achieved their reach and longevity through purely organic growth, without relying on heavy marketing spend. This ability to take multiple titles from zero to large-scale DAU entirely through organic acquisition is rare not only among small and mid-sized studios, but also in larger publishers. The insights and expertise gained from building these franchises form the foundation of MiAO's scalable approach to mass-market gaming. Industry insiders note that Mr. Wu has developed a methodology for creating and sustaining large-DAU titles, with creative thinking that has influenced multiple successful games in the market. Vision for the Future MiAO believes that social interaction is shaping the future of gaming. As a new generation of lifelong gamers emerges, the growing user base creates exciting possibilities for platform-level innovation. The company sees the combination of gaming and socializing as a once-in-a-generation opportunity—a chance to connect billions of players in a virtual world that fosters friendship, creativity, and shared experiences. In this magical social space, players can escape loneliness, find inspiration, and enjoy positive impacts in real life and society. 'XD's investment is a strong vote of confidence in our approach to building large-scale, high-DAU multiplayer games,' said Wu Meng, Founder & CEO of MiAO. 'Our goal is to connect players through evergreen experiences, using technology—including AI where appropriate—only to enhance scalability and social play.' In Development MiAO is currently developing a new multiplayer title that is already showing promising results in confidential testing. Early feedback indicates strong potential for player-driven content loops, long-term retention, and vibrant community interaction. This new investment will allow MiAO to accelerate product development, attract world-class creative talent, and expand infrastructure to support large-scale social play and user-generated content. About MiAO MiAO is a Singapore- and China-based game studio founded in 2022 by industry veteran Wu Meng. The company specializes in mass-market, evergreen multiplayer games designed for high DAU and strong social engagement.
