Top 10 Best Pink Floyd Tribute Bands

• February 27, 2023

Share Post:

• David Victor

Pathbreaking, experimental, and uniquely addicting, Pink Floyd is among the world’s most iconic bands whose music remains relevant to date. Formed in London in 1965, the British rock group was a trendsetter in the psychedelic rock music genre of the late 1960s and early 1970s. 

During this time, Pink Floyd grabbed the attention of music lovers with their characteristic hypnotic style that included spacey sound effects, extended instrumental solos, and improvisation. 

However, Pink Floyd’s worldwide popularity was largely due to the band perfectly capturing the era’s zeitgeist. 

Pink Floyd last performed together in 2005. Although they did release an album in 2014, the simple pleasure of experiencing a Pink Floyd concert is bar none. 

The 10 best Pink Floyd tribute bands from across the globe now fill this void. Dating back as far as 1988, Pink Floyd tribute bands have kept alive not only the music of Floyd but also their vivacious vitality that continues to enthrall musicians and music lovers generation after generation.

The original band line-up of Pink Floyd consisted of Syd Barrett as the vocalist, songwriter, and lead guitarist, Roger Waters as the bassist, drummer Nick Mason, guitarist David Gilmour, and Rick Wright on the keyboards. 

Together they popularized “concept albums” and presented their music through extravagant live performances with spectacular laser shows, giant screens, and grand productions.

As the poster child for the emerging psychedelic rock scene, their music was at times defiant, deeply profound, and biographical. Simultaneously, it encapsulated ideas of free will and experiences after consuming “mind-altering” drugs. 

The band’s unmatched zeal is what the best Pink Floyd tribute bands now mimic, not just in sound but also in their visual representation of the group’s legendary performance pieces.

The Best Pink Floyd Tribute Bands

#1 – moon shadows.

This incredible tribute show delivers a power-packed and musically on-target experience, featuring a lineup oozing with musical talent. Band founder John Menitti has assembled an all-start cast, whose members have worked with international recording artists including Celine Dion, Michael Buble’, and The Eagles.

But all that talent would be wasted without a killer concept — and Moon Shadows has it: they perform, track-by-track, the entire Dark Side of the Moon album within a multimedia experience that must be seen to be believed.

“Absolutely amazing…..perfection and superb performance” Krissy Ayon – Entertainment Mgr. Casa Blanca Resort Mesquite, NV

A show standout is the track Great Gig in the Sky, which features an incendiary performance by Moon Shadows’ lead female vocalist.

Combined with the “best of the rest” of Pink Floyd, Pink Floyd tribute act Moon Shadows hits the hardest in our estimation, and delivers the pinkiest of the pink experiences.

#2 – the machine.

Formed in 1988, The Machine is one of the oldest Pink Floyd tribute bands, having over 30 years of experience. The New York-based group embodies the spirit of Floyd, particularly seen in the improvisation, a Pink Floyd trademark, during their live performances.  

The Machine now plays over 15 albums and a mix of songs ranging from Floyd’s obscurities to the classics and their own cover versions.  

Co-founded by Joe Pascarell and Tahrah Cohen, the present-day band consists of Tahrah on drums, Scott Chasolen on keys, Ryan Ball on guitar, and Chris Deangelis as the bassist and lead vocalist.  

“They duplicate the sound and hits of Pink Floyd with chilling accuracy, and they play for a hell of a long time.” – Matt Diehl – Rolling Stone.

Having received many accolades for rendering the sound faithfully, it is no surprise that most of the band’s concerts sell out instantly! 

Although The Machine performs worldwide and has been to festivals like Riverbend and Bonnaroo, you can typically catch them across various venues in the US. 

Interestingly, The Machine is pretty versatile when planning a setlist for a show. As a passionate Pink Floyd tribute band, they obviously play entire albums. 

However, they are more than happy to take fan requests and even play the A to Z game – that’s when they pick one song from each letter.

#3 – The Australian Pink Floyd Show

Aussie Floyd is arguably the most famous Pink Floyd tribute band on the planet. Formed in 1988 in Adelaide, the group has toured over 35 countries and sold more than 5 million tickets. 

Officially called The Australian Pink Floyd Show, they were initially known as Think Floyd until 1993. 

Although Aussie Floyd went through a lull after early success in the late 80s, it was in 1994 that they received the best stamp of approval any tribute band can get. That was when David Gilmour asked them to perform at his 50th birthday celebration. 

An unforgettable moment for any Pink Floyd tribute band, Aussie Floyd shared the stage with several original band members on this day.

Other highlights in the band’s ever-growing popularity include playing at the Glastonbury Festival in 1998 and performing the entire The Dark Side of the Moon to commemorate the album’s 30th anniversary.

The current list of band members comprises Steve Mac (Guitar/Vocals), Jason Sawford (Keyboards), Paul Bonney (Drums), David Domminney (Guitar/Vocals), Ricky Howard (Bass/Vocals), Luc Ledy-Lepine (Guitar), and Mike Kidson (Saxophone). At the same time, Chris Barnes, Lorelei McBroom, Emily Lynn, and Lara Smiles assist with the vocals. 

Unlike a few other tribute bands, The Australian Pink Floyd Show “only plays Pink Floyd.” Their sound accuracy is one of the primary reasons why people travel from far-off places to see their shows. 

Moreover, Aussie Floyd’s concerts replicate Floyd’s performances to the minutest detail, presenting audiences with a near-original musical and visual extravaganza. 

Having said that, Aussie Floyd constantly changes setlists and adds their individual touch to keep the concerts fresh and updated. 

In 2023, Aussie Floyd will again impress Pink Floyd enthusiasts around the world. Starting with Europe in March, they will tour the USA from June to September. Following this, the show will play in Canada and later across different venues in the UK through October.

#4 – Brit Floyd

Just over a decade old, Brit Floyd came together in Liverpool under the leadership of Damian Darlington, who previously was with Aussie Floyd. 

Damian’s fascination with Pink Floyd goes back to when he discovered concept albums and how each song tells a continuing story. 

In the eyes of audiences, Brit Floyd and Aussie Floyd are the biggest competitors for the top spot on the best Pink Floyd tribute bands list. 

Both are popular across the globe and offer truly magical recreations of Pink Floyd arrangements that match their hallmark sound and show technicalities.

Someone just needs to organize a battle of the bands between these two and put the rivalry to a conclusive end!

Passionate and detail-oriented, watching Brit Floyd is a musical spectacle that will take you back to the hay days of Pink Floyd. 

It’s also worth mentioning that Brit Floyd isn’t the talk of the town for no reason. Besides impressing ardent Pink Floyd fans, they have also enjoyed performing with Pink Floyd studio line-ups. Guy Pratt was on stage with them in Liverpool in 2013 and Scott Page in 2015 during an LA performance. 

After a management change in 2022, Brit Floyd is preparing for a world tour in 2023. This time they will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd’s most successful album, The Dark Side of the Moon. 

A moody and atmospheric concept album written by Waters, it’s a reflective journey that builds upon the themes of conflict, mental illness, death, and angst.   

An endearing aspect of Brit Floyd is that they mention their sound engineer and visual designer as band members – something only a handpicked number of top Pink Floyd tribute bands do. 

Brit Floyd presently consists of Damien Darlington (Music Director/Vocals/Guitar), Gareth Darlington (Sound Design), and Eva Avila, Roberta Freeman, Jenn Kee for Backing Vocals. Then there’s Ryan Saranich (Sax/Keyboard/Guitar), Arran Ahmun (Drums), Ian Cattell (Bass/Vocals), Matt Riddle (Keyboards/Vocals), and Edo Scordo (Guitar/Vocals).

#5 – Pigs On The Wing

The Portland-based Pigs On The Wing has been performing immersive concerts since their conception in 2006. 

As recently as 2022, they played the entire The Dark Side of the Moon album during their shows. While the group plays mostly locally, they have a strong following that places them among our list of the best Pink Floyd tribute bands. 

The group’s name comes from the two-part Pink Floyd song, Pigs on the Wing, featured in the album Animals. This 10th studio album has a legendary cover showing Battersea Power Station and a flying pig. The latter refers to George Orwell’s Animal Farm, a theme that runs through the length of the concept album. 

It’s exciting to note that Pings On The Wing is unlike other tribute bands trying to emulate the originals. Instead, they have a somewhat punk rock edge to their music. Furthermore, the band is fearless when experimenting with sound in the proper temperament of psychedelia. 

Band members of Pigs On The Wing are nuanced musicians having deep roots in Portland’s Northwest District. 

The group’s line-up includes Eric Welder (Bass/Vocals), Holly Brooks (Vocals), David Lindenbaum (Guitar/Vocals), Bryan Fairfield (Drums), Matt Jones (Keys/Vocals), Jason Baker (Guitar/Vocals), and Matt Sulikowski (Saxophone).

#6 – In The Flesh – Echoes of Pink Floyd

Tribute bands don’t always have to duplicate. They can and should bring their own spin to the performances. A bit of originality helps them stand apart, especially when performing Pink Floyd, a band famous for their improvs.      

Chicago’s In The Flesh is not just “another cover band.” They are an all-out theatrical show that undoubtedly stays true to Floyd’s music. Simultaneously they create an energy-filled live act that will have you grooving in no time. 

Those in the knowhow will quickly note that In The Flesh is the song from Floyd’s 1979 album The Wall. The band’s best-selling album, its songs are often a part of every Pink Floyd tribute band’s playlist. The Wall is a biographical rock opera by Roger Waters about a rock star struggling with his father’s death.      

With equal importance given to the visuals and stage performance, the band’s three-hour-long concerts are every Pink Floyd fan’s dream come true. Sadly, time seems to fly away fast when you’re having so much fun.

Because In The Flesh plays mainly in the state or nationwide, their concerts have a more intimate feel, allowing the audience to lose themselves in the soulfulness of Pink Floyd’s mesmerizing tunes.   

Band members of In The Flesh are Paul Willaert (Guitar/Vocals), Mac Willaert (Keyboard), Dan Patten (Keyboard/Vocals), Jeffery Money (Drums), and Meg Thomas (Percussions).

Pigs call themselves “Canada’s most authentic Pink Floyd tribute.” A band from Victoria, British Columbia, formed in 2008, they have been a regular act on the country’s music scene, delighting fans with their Floyd recreations. 

The seven-member group focuses on Pink Floyd’s music primarily from 1967 to 1994, with a penchant for the albums that came out in the 70s.

Having received glowing reviews for sounding closest to Pink Floyd, Pigs is an act you must catch should the opportunity arise. 

Their versions of “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” and “Us and Them” are especially soul-stirring. Shine on You Crazy Diamond, in particular, is a cult classic, released in the 1975 album Wish You Were Here. The song is a homage to Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett, who left the group in 1968 due to mental issues.  

Band members of Pigs take on the personas of the original group. Josh Szczepanowski (David Gilmour) is the lead guitarist, vocalist, and perfectionist leader. KC Hinglay (Roger Waters) plays bass and is also a founding member. At the same time, you’ll find Adam Basterfield (Richard Wright) on the keyboard or organ. 

Mike Quirke is the group’s drummer, whereas Jon Baglo (Terence “Snowy” White) plays the bass, electric guitar, and keyboard. Anneda (Clare Torry) provides the background vocals. Her “Great Gig in the Sky” performance is among Pigs’ most admired songs.

#8 – In The Pink

Portland’s In The Pink is no casual Pink Floyd tribute band but rather a serious attempt at recreating the sheer dynamism of the entire Pink Floyd experience. 

A homegrown local band, In The Pink, tries and succeeds in delivering performance after performance, doused in the originality of Pink Floyd’s music from the early vinyl years. 

The group plays across varied venues, from private parties and clubs to mostly local arenas. Still grounded in their roots, In The Pink takes their concerts with all sincerity, using lasers and classic Pink Floyd visuals to create the right ambiance. 

Furthermore, they play complete albums, like Wish You Were Here and The Dark Side of the Moon, as every best Pink Floyd tribute band should. 

In The Flesh consists of Ash McKee (Vocals/Drums), Will McKinney (Vocals/Guitar), TM Laing (Guitar), and Chelle McKee and Lisa Atwood for vocals. Moreover, there’s Kyle Christofunkafanelli (Keyboards), Brian Bowles (Bass), Matt Sulikowski (Saxophone), and James Vermillion managing the lights.

#9 – Beyond The Darkside

A massive theatrical “multi-million dollar production,” Beyond The Darkness is among the best Pink Floyd tribute bands originating from Australia. 

Boasting the best in quadraphonic sound, it offers a remarkably authentic visual musical that leaves audiences in awe of the band members and the scope of the show. 

The first seed of Beyond The Darkness dates back to when frontman Kevin Hunt was 13 years old and listened to Wish You Were Here for the first time. Mesmerized by the music, he quickly became a die-hard fan of Pink Floyd over the following years. 

Finally, in 1989, Floyd The Concept was born when Hunt teamed up with Brisbane production company Acoustic Technologies. Together, they produced a show with 18 digital fixtures and a 20,000-watt quadraphonic sound system, unheard of at the time.

It was in 1995 that the band changed its name to the present moniker, growing its fan base ever since and performing in notable locations like the Sydney Opera House.       

Beyond the Darkside consists of a rather extended group of seasoned professionals. Kevin Hunt played with Robert Plant, whereas bassist Mark Dole was previously a member of another Pink Floyd tribute show. Matt Northeast and UK native Raymond Oliver have decades of music experience. At the same time, keyboardist Rebecca is a teacher, songwriter, and lifelong music student. 

Completing the band are Jason Mayers on drums as well as Wendy and Amber Green providing background vocals. When it comes to the show, Alan Lahey, Simon Cook, and Craig Schimming are collectively responsible for sound and light.

#10 – Pig Floyd

As far as American Pink Floyd tribute bands go, Pig Floyd is undoubtedly unique. The band debuted in Englewood in 2017 and has slowly accumulated a niche following among Floyd fans over the past few years.

Led by founder and full-time musician Ron Howard, Pig Floyd is an eight-member group from South West Florida. Ken Freeland is the lead guitarist, and Janis Smith is on Keys, whereas both David Delli Paoli and John Conrath play the saxophone. Additionally, there’s vocalist Jenny Foster, drummer Johnny Keesling, bassist Jason Collings, and Ron Howard Jr managing the lights. 

Pink Floyd revolutionized concerts with laser shows and large set pieces. Pig Floyd integrates the same into their arrangements, replicating the authentic enthusiasm of the band. 

However, Pig Floyd’s identity lies in their emphasis on Floyd’s war-themed albums rather than the early “hippie” sounds. As a result, the band pays tribute to Pink Floyd by wearing war costumes and gas masks for a faithful presentation.

And yes, you’ll likely notice the floating pig early on!

Pig Floyd performs across the country, and their The Wall and The Dark Side of the Moon concept shows are quite simply the ultimate.

#11 – Pinky And The Floyd   

Bozeman, Montana group Pinky And The Floyd started performing in 2008. Today, their musical repertoire consists of over 80 Pink Floyd songs and seven full albums. 

Now, the sheer technicality of Pink Floyd’s sound and concert productions means not everyone can play their music. Even distinguished musicians must practice to reach a level where the audience is excited to see them. 

Pinky And The Floyd can capture the distinctness of Pink Floyd’s music purely because the band members have diverse musical backgrounds. Between them, the group members are part of 20 bands that play everything from Jazz to funk and American swing. 

The award-winning Pinky And The Floyd comprises Luke Flansburg, founding member and co-owner of Jereco Studios and Peach Street Studios. Dustin Tucker (Guitar/Vocals) is the other founder. John Sanders is the bassist, while Drew Fleming comes with 25 years of experience playing the drums.

Other band members include Jake Fleming (Saxophone), self-taught musician Tyler Schultz (Organ), Kali Amstrong (Vocals), and Krista Barnett (Vocals). However, the most eccentric of the group is keyboardist Joe Kirchner, who wears a pink beehive wig gifted by his mother during all performances. 

The Need for Pink Floyd Tribute Bands

Demand for Pink Floyd’s music continues to grow. Every generation leads to new fans, music enthusiasts captivated by the intricacies of their sound and vision. 

The best Pink Floyd tribute bands are now the bonafide torchbearers responsible for carrying forward the brilliance of Pink Floyd while enabling audiences to discover the nuances of what made the band iconic. 

Most importantly, these Pink Floyd tribute bands are not just “another brick in the wall.” Instead, these musician-led passion projects honor the creativity of Pink Floyd’s music and bask in its undying glory.

ABOUT THE SHOW

The band story, feedback from our fans.

Some wonderful messages about our 2023 Tour.

This band sets the bench mark on how a tribute band should be in as near perfect. The sound, the light show the presence of the members of the band are as exciting as if Floyd were on stage. Roll on next year’s tour your fans wait with baited breath. 

Absolutely Awesome. Fantastic Evening Watching These Guys&Girls. Music Is Awesome. The Light Show Is Out Of This World. A Must See Group. So Friendly Too. Thanks For One Most Amazing Evening. Respect. 

That was absolutely superb! Front row seats (although it’d be great to see you at a standing venue). So damn good to hear Dogs played live! Great sound, great set, hopefully I hit a decent photo or two! 

I saw them in Leicester last month, assumed because it was a small venue that they would be just ok. How wrong could I have been. The word is spreading. DeMontfort Hall is calling.

Oh wow! It was a spectacular show. Had me in tears some times. A very classy and talented bunch of artists. Vocals/guitarist had all Gilmour’s mannerisms and the same “touch” on the instrument. Will definitely look forward to next time around.

What a fabulous show tonight. Great to see a talented band who can play and enjoy doing so. Great performance! Thank you.

Something BIG is coming!

We are really excited to announce something big for 2025, be the first to find out and join our waiting list.

What an amazing show thank you all so much. I experienced Pink Floyd in Feb 1988. Last night I shut my eyes and I was back there again!! Such a talented group of musicians! Andrea

Awesome show last night. Good to hear a bit of the not so well known tracks from Animals and Meddle. I saw Roger Waters' The Wall concert in Melbourne and you guys are right up there with that. Loved Wish You were Here acoustic. Mick

Wow!! I had goosebumps hearing Floyd played live so incredibly close to the original recordings. These guys bring a great, gutsy feel to the songs that I haven't heard from any other Floyd tribute act. And the lighting and especially the projected video on the light circle really added another dimension. These guys deserve to be HUGE!!! Naomi

What an amazing show this was!!! Thank you so much! I took my husband as a treat for his birthday, and came away as a Pink Floyd convert!! Trying to work out how we can see you again! Outstanding Essie

Fantastic show! Great set to satisfy all Floyd fans, and meeting all you guys after the show was a special bonus. Hoping to see you all again in the future, stay safe guys… YOU ROCK Col

Absolutely the best live musical trip any Floyd fan can go on Paul

3 times in 12 months and need to know when the next tour is ASAP. It's only been since Friday but getting anxious already ....... Scott

Pink Floyd music, spectacle comes to Youngstown amp

If you go ... WHO: The Australian Pink Floyd Show WHEN: 8:30 p.m. June 8 WHERE: Youngstown Foundation Amphitheatre, 300 S. Phelps St., Youngstown HOW MUCH: Tickets range from $29.50 to $75 and are available through Ticketmaster. LEFT: Chris Barnes is one of the principal vocalists with The Australian Pink Floyd Show.

In most tribute acts, each performer plays a single character, trying to create the sound — and oftentimes the look — of the artist whose music is being performed.

With The Australian Pink Floyd Show, Chris Barnes needs to be a chameleon.

“I sing (David) Gilmour stuff, (Roger) Waters stuff, (Richard) Wright stuff and Syd Barrett stuff, so I’m covering four jobs, obviously not at the same time,” Barnes said during a telephone interview from his home in England. “Richard Wright and David Gilmour have this rich tone, like a posh English accent. I’m from Manchester in the north of England, which is nowhere near Cambridge, where Gilmour came from, and I’m kind of putting on an impression.

“But, if anything, that’s easier to do than Roger Waters, which is like adapting into this character that is really biting. It’s not challenging in terms of the range of notes you’ve got to cover, but getting the tone of voice right. Gilmour’s is a rich kind of voice, very warm-sounding voice and Roger is very cold, thin kind of voice. When you’re doing, say ‘Comfortably Numb’ and singing the line, ‘I need some information …,’ it’s like a character. That can be quite challenging, getting your head around it and getting into that mindset — this is quite sneering, this is quite aggressive or this is really soft and quiet and soothing. It’s adapting those roles, stepping into these roles as you do the set.”

Barnes will be stepping into those roles in Youngstown next week, when The Australian Pink Floyd Show comes to the Youngstown Foundation Amphitheatre on June 8.

Last year, Aussie Floyd — and every other Pink Floyd tribute act — focused on the 50th anniversary of “Dark Side of the Moon.” Next year will be the 50th anniversary of “Wish You Were Here,” which is likely to get similar treatment.

“This year, there’s not big 50th anniversary like there was last year, so what we’re trying to do with the current set is a comprehensive selection of everything Pink Floyd covered, from the early days of Syd Barrett right through ‘Division Bell’ in the mid ’90s, stopping at major points in between,” Barnes said. “We’ve been playing a song we’ve never played before — no spoilers — an instrumental that is going over really, really well. It’s nice to do something fresh, and it’s very interesting seeing people’s reactions — ‘Oooh I haven’t heard this for a long time.'”

Barnes, who was born in 1977, never saw Pink Floyd play live. He’s seen Gilmour and Wright together, Waters solo and Nick Mason solo, but he was too young or too poor (a university student during the “Division Bell” tour) to catch the full spectacle of a Pink Floyd concert.

Many of the people he sings for today fall in the same category.

“Yeah, but there are many answers to that one really,” Barnes said. “We see all ages at our shows. We see guys obviously old enough to have seen Floyd in the ’70s, we see people who got on board in the ’80s when they were doing those big ’87 and ’89 tours. And we see those people with their kids and in some cases their grandkids.

“You just know this music is going to live on long after you and I are gone. Pink Floyd is one of those iconic bands. Its music is never going to die, like modern classical music.”

Barnes started out as a fan of Aussie Floyd. He saw the group in 1999 on his first date with the woman who became his wife.

“I never thought for one minute I’d end up in the band,” he said.

Barnes has been with the group since 2015, but Aussie Floyd got its start in 1988 and established itself as an international touring act, performing in more than 35 countries. Gilmour and Wright have joined the band on stage, and Gilmour hired Aussie Floyd to play at his 50th birthday party.

Some of those milestones occurred before Barnes joined the band, but the band continues to have those experiences. On its fall UK tour, the group will start at London’s Palladium and it will return to the city for the penultimate show of the tour at the legendary Royal Albert Hall.

“Royal Albert Hall we sold it out quite a while back,” Barnes said. “I don’t care who you are, those are pinch-me moments.”

Paul McCartney tribute, Milton

After playing to a sold-out crowd at the Milton Theatre last year,  The McCartney Experience  is back to play two shows on the same day.  

This group is different from most Beatles tributes because they deliver tunes from Sir Paul's days with Wings, plus the solo songs he popularized. But they also bring in music from the early years of Beatlemania and throughout the Fab Four era. 

Milton Theatre at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, June 15. Tickets are $27-$35. Visit miltontheatre.com or (302) 684-3038.

Foo Fighters tribute, Milton

What's the next best thing to seeing Dave Grohl and his legendary Foo Fighters band in Delaware? The answer is to watch the " Fooz Fighters ," of course. This is the same band that took the crown as the 2021 winners of E! Entertainment's series “Clash Of The Cover Bands.” It also doesn't hurt that the Fooz Fighters' lead singer (Nicky Rich) looks like Dave Grohl.  

Milton Theatre at 8 p.m. Thursday, June 27. Tickets are $27-$35. Visit miltontheatre.com or (302) 684-3038.

White Panda, Dewey Beach 

There aren’t a ton of big EDM acts playing in Delaware this summer. So,  White Panda is here to jazz things up. Music lovers have partied with the mash-up artist multiple times at Firefly, and most recently at the Bottle & Cork in Dewey Beach, where he's played New Year's Eve shows several times over the last few years. Once again, EDM fans need to prepare for some "Pandamonium" at the beach.  

Bottle & Cork (1807 Route 1, Dewey Beach) at 9 p.m. Friday, July 19. Tickets are $36. Visit bottleandcork.com or (302) 227-7272. 

Ludacris, Harrington  

There's a lack of big rap concerts coming to Delaware this summer, but Ludacris is helping to fill that void. The emcee and actor has delivered major songs like "Number One Spot," "Rollout (My Business)" and "Act a Fool." His acting career includes "Crash" and the "Fast & Furious" franchise.

The Bacon Brothers have dropped several albums, including their new release, "Ballad of The Brothers."

Brantley Gilbert, Harrington 

The last time Brantley Gilbert headlined the state fair was in 2017, back when Luke Combs was the opener, and the country rocker whipped the crowd into a frenzy. Gilbert is beloved for his many jams like "Bottoms Up," "Kick It in the Sticks" and "One Hell of an Amen."  

Delaware State Fairgrounds (18500 S. DuPont Highway) at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 24. Tickets are $49-$84 (plus service fees). Visit delawarestatefair.com or (302) 398-3269.

Shine on Floyd: Tribute band offers an authentic experience

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

T ribute bands are a dime a dozen, but Scott Fresener, band leader and bassist of Pink Floyd tribute band Shine on Floyd, wants his band to be considered authentic.

“People want to be taken back in time and focus on a band they really loved. With a normal cover band, fans have to hope the band will play one of their favorite songs,” Fresener said. 

“But with a tribute band you know you are going to hear all the classic songs in one show. The people who see a Pink Floyd tribute want to hear the music, but they also want to see the show. From the opening number, we have high-powered lasers, moving lights, back-up singer, and a large circle video screen — just like the original Pink Floyd. And, we do the songs pretty much note for note.”

Fans can see for themselves when Shine on Floyd plays The Gaslight Music Hall in Oro Valley at 6 p.m. Saturday, June 8. Fresener said he enjoys watching the crowd react to Shine on Floyd’s shows.

“What’s neat is, when we play Floyd songs, you’ll see older fans, some with their walkers parked to the side, sitting with people in their 50s and 60s,” he said.

“You’ll also see younger kids in their 20s singing along to the songs. When we play songs like ‘Comfortably Numb,’ it’s like you’ve taken them back in time. I have had people say they cried at our shows.” 

Fresener, who’s in his mid 70s, said playing in a Pink Floyd tribute act was on his bucket list. Calling the stint his “third act,” playing in Shine on Floyd keeps him feeling “way younger.”

“Pink Floyd’s music is timeless,” he added. “I’ve played in a lot of cover bands — three-chord rock ‘n’ roll and that’s it. With Floyd, it’s a soundtrack. Roger Waters’ lyrics are timeless.”

Fresener was raised on The Beatles and the Rolling Stones. “Five years ago, I thought I needed one last hurrah,” he said. “I decided to form a Pink Floyd tribute band and I didn’t want to do bars every weekend. I wanted to put on shows.

“We play every couple weeks to mainly sold out shows at large performing arts centers around the southwest. In fact, we were invited to play a huge tribute show at the iconic Cow Palace in San Francisco last year. What a hoot. We were in the same dressing room as The Beatles and Elvis!

“We have a large trailer full of gear and our stage show takes four to five hours to set up. Performing Pink Floyd music is a labor of love. We have evolved into being a really great band with thousands of followers on Facebook. I think we’re one of the best Pink Floyd bands in the country. People love us.” 

Shine on Floyd WHEN: 6 p.m. Saturday, June 8 WHERE: Gaslight Music Hall, 13005 N. Oracle Road, Suite 165, Oro Valley COST: Tickets start at $31 INFO: gaslightmusichall.com

The Australian Pink Floyd Show To Perform Huntington Concert

H UNTINGTON, NY — The Australian Pink Floyd Show is set to return to Huntington in June, and its bringing along Pink Floyd's greatest hits.

The show is scheduled for 8 p.m. June 27 at The Paramount. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased here .

The Australian Pink Floyd Show has been based out of the United Kingdom since 1993 and features members from various countries.

Lead singer Chris Barnes said the show this year is Pink Floyd's greatest hits after the band covered "The Dark Side of the Moon" last year . Songs from 1967 through 1994 will be played, including lots of numbers from the band's big four albums: "Animals," "The Dark Side of the Moon," "The Wall," and "Wish You Were Here."

Barnes said he hopes Long Islanders had a good time at last year's Huntington show , but this year is a different set list.

"Obviously we have songs we have to play every year," Barnes told Patch. "Come out and have another great night with us ... We’re actually playing a song on this tour that the band has never played in its entire existence, which has been going down really, really well. When people realize what the song is when the introduction starts, it gets a really good reaction. It’s nice to throw that in, as well, for us and the crowd."

Barnes said not every Pink Floyd fan got to see the band live when they were touring.

"Come out and experience what is essentially what Pink Floyd would have given you," Barnes told younger fans. "The circle screen, the videos, there’s a big light show, there are lasers, inflatables. It’s a full-on multi-sensory experience, really."

Barnes said it's nice to see different generations come to The Australian Pink Floyd Show concerts.

"There are people who saw Floyd back in the day," he said. "Maybe their kids will come. And also grandkids. We have people from 8 through 80; we literally do. It’s a very mixed crowd, which is great to see so many young people come to see the band."

Barnes said the band members are Pink Floyd fans who want to honor the music. The singer recalls last year's Huntington show being a "really good crowd and a really good gig."

"It’s great that people come to see it, as Pink Floyd’s music will live on forever," he said. "It’s great to be playing this music to people who love to hear it. I hope you come to the show, and we’ll have a great night, like last time."

The Australian Pink Floyd Show formed in 1988. The band strives to stay true to the vision and sound of the band it was inspired by.

In 2025, the band's show will cover "Wish You Were Here" in recognition of the album's 50th anniversary.

Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour once asked The Australian Pink Floyd Show to perform at his 50th birthday party. Various members of Pink Floyd have joined the tribute band onstage.
