Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon

The Dark Side of the Moon returns to Bristol's Planetarium!

Celebrate over 50 years of Pink Floyd’s legendary album The Dark Side of the Moon with a new awe-inspiring audio-visual show.

Set to the newly remastered audio by James Guthrie and Joel Plante of das boot recording, the sound is richer, deeper, and more powerful than ever. The breath-taking 360° visuals, produced by the award-winning team at NSC Creative in collaboration with Pink Floyd’s iconic creative director Aubrey Powell, bring the music to life in spectacular style.

Each song has a different theme; some futuristically looking forward and some a retro acknowledgment to Pink Floyd’s visual history, all relating to a time and space experience, embracing technology that only a Planetarium can offer.

So, join us for a truly immersive cosmic celebration of one of the greatest albums of all time, now showing at the Planetarium.
