Wish You Were Here: A Tribute to Pink Floyd

Overview

When it comes to progressive, psychedelic '70s rock of both the mind-expanding and brain-melting variety, no one comes close to Pink Floyd. They took listeners to The Dark Side of the Moon and over The Wall — and those two albums became two of the best-selling records of all time.

Yes, Syd Barrett, Roger Waters and company certainly made an impact as they experimented their way through a hallucinogenic soundscape. The Triffid agrees, which is why they're dedicating an evening to all things Pink Floyd. Get excited, because the Newstead venue is throwing another one of their tribute nights.

Twin Haus, TSUN, Magenta Voyeur, Lucy Star Satellite and Micropsia will be doing the honours — i.e. giving their respective spins to the Floyd's iconic back catalogue. Each will play four tracks by the British band, plus two of their own, and yes, they'll be simultaneously trying to make audiences overflow with prog-rock bliss and feel comfortably numb.
