The Australian Pink Floyd Show in Newcastle

The Australian Pink Floyd Show brings the iconic sound and spectacle of Pink Floyd to Newcastle upon Tyne. Formed in Adelaide in 1988, this tribute band has earned a reputation for meticulously recreating the look, feel, and sound of Pink Floyd's later world tours. Their live shows feature lasers, inflatables—including a giant pink kangaroo named Skippy—and a large circular screen displaying animations and films that complement the music.

Attendees can expect a faithful rendition of Pink Floyd classics, performed by a lineup of skilled musicians who replicate the nuances of the original recordings. The band's attention to detail extends to the equipment, with guitarist Steve Mac using a rig similar to David Gilmour's, custom-built by Pete Cornish, who worked extensively with Gilmour. The show also includes a round screen with intelligent lights arranged around its perimeter, creating an immersive visual experience.

With a history that includes performing at David Gilmour's 50th birthday party and headlining Glastonbury's acoustic stage, The Australian Pink Floyd Show offers a compelling tribute that appeals to both longtime fans and newcomers. This concert in Newcastle promises an evening of classic rock in a theatrical setting.
