Arguably the world’s leading tribute band, The Australian Pink Floyd Show, is set to return to the UK in 2017 with a series of headlining dates, performing a new set of Pink Floyd songs. The Best Side Of The Moon will incorporate a full performance of what many call one of the most iconic albums of all time.
Speaking about what the tour has in-store for fans, the band commented, “In 2017 we will play the classics Dark Side of the Moon album in its entirety as well as some of the most popular songs from the Syd Barrett years, Meddle, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall, The Final Cut, Momentary Lapse of Reason and the Division Bell. Building on our continuing success in Europe and the United States in 2016 we will bring a fabulous laser and light show, special filmed footage and original animation onto a large high resolution LED screen, inflatables such as Skippy (our Pink Kangaroo), The Teacher and Pig and a 10 piece band playing the songs with all the note for note attention to detail and sound that has been honed of almost 30 years of performances.”
Selling 4 million tickets worldwide, The Australian Pink Floyd Show gave its first ever concert in Adelaide, Australia in 1988. Since then, they have performed in over 35 countries worldwide; played at David Gilmour’s 50th birthday celebration and were even joined on stage by Rick Wright. The Australian Pink Floyd is the leading and biggest show of its kind in the world, performing the music of Pink Floyd with note for note perfection, this critically acclaimed tribute show has been astonishing audiences worldwide. Striving to reproduce the Pink Floyd experience and bring the music to new audiences, the show continues to include a stunning light and laser show, video animations, state of the art high resolution technology, special effects as well as large inflatables including a giant pig and their own distinct Pink Kangaroo.
