The Australian Pink Floyd Show
The Australian Pink Floyd Show brings The Best of the Best Tour to Freedom Hill Amphitheatre on Thursday, August 4 at 8 p.m.
Selling four million tickets worldwide and described by The Times as “The Gold Standard” and The Daily Mirror as “The Kings of the Genre”, 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. TAPFS 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 LED screen technology and other special effects. To accompany these visuals are several large inflatables including a giant pig and their own distinct Pink Kangaroo.
They have also worked with musicians like Guy Pratt, Durga McBroom and her sister Lorelei McBroom who have toured with Pink Floyd, as well as sound engineer Colin Norfield who worked with Pink Floyd during their ‘Division Bell’ tour and on David Gilmour’s solo tours.
Often described as being more than a tribute band, The Australian Pink Floyd Show is the first Pink Floyd tribute show that took the concept out of the pubs and onto the worldwide arena circuit. The band has played to sell out audiences throughout Europe, UK, America, Canada, South America, Israel and Russia.
NEW FOR 2016
After three years of touring the world with album themed tours, The Australian Pink Floyd Show returns with a new set of Pink Floyd songs - 'The Best of the Best’
This time we wanted to be able to cover a wider range of material to present a well-balanced set that is truly representative of Pink Floyd's work over the years. We have even created a special app that can be downloaded from our website (aussiefloyd.com) that enables fans to put together a set list with all the songs they would like to hear. The band has used some of the results from that to put together the current set list. We have a great set list that covers all of the greatest and most requested songs as well as some more interesting songs from the early Syd Barrett years, Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall ,The Final Cut, Momentary Lapse of Reason and the Division Bell. There should be something in there to please all kinds of Pink Floyd fans.
Building on our success in Europe and the United States in 2015 we will bring with us a fabulous laser and light show, special film and original animation projected onto a large circular screen, inflatables such as our Pink Kangaroo, Teacher and Pig and a 10 piece band playing the songs with all the note for note attention to detail and sound to bring to the audience an atmospheric and satisfying show.
