This is not a tribute. Not an imitation. This is Pink Floyd's official vision.
Created by Pink Floyd's Creative Director Aubrey Powell to mark the 50th anniversary of the band's most iconic album. Their vision. Their sound. Their show.
🎵 THE ALBUM RETURNS TO ITS BIRTHPLACE
On February 27th, 1973, Pink Floyd premiered The Dark Side of the Moon at the London Planetarium. Fifty years later, the album returns to its spiritual home — this time with cutting-edge technology that transforms the listening experience into something transcendent.
