BRIT FLOYD—The World’s Greatest Pink Floyd Experience—have confirmed their annual appearance at the historic RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE with a sold-out June 9 show. This marks the group’s 11th consecutive appearance at the venue (with many sold out); their previous appearances at Red Rocks have been captured on a DVD, CD and PBS special. The June 9 performance--produced in partnership with PBS12--is part of Brit Floyd’s “50 Years of Dark Side” ongoing 2023 North American Tour. The 100-date tour kicked off April 12 (see full list of dates below).
“50 Years of Dark Side” celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Pink Floyd’s album masterpiece The Dark Side of the Moon. For this year’s world tour--featuring over two and a half hours of Pink Floyd music encompassing the band’s iconic career--the team have created a show that includes state-of-the-art visuals (lights, lasers and animation) which are all presented with immersive soundscapes and virtuosic musicianship.
Formed in 2011, Brit Floyd features performances supported by an immense, immaculately curated state of the art production, reverently emulating the stunning soundscapes and visuals of Pink Floyd’s iconic catalog. Brit Floyd is a celebration of authenticity, featuring musicians handpicked by Damian Darlington. The 2023 touring band includes Darlington (Guitarist, Vocalist and Musical Director), Ian Cattell (Vocals, Bass), Edo Scordo (Guitars, Vocals), Matt Riddle (Keyboards, Synths, Hammond, Vocals), Arran Ahmun (Drums, Percussions), Ryan Saranich (Saxophone, Percussions, Guitars, Bass, Keyboards), Randy Cooke (Drums and Percussion), Eva Avila (Lead and Backing Vocals), Genevieve Little (Backing Vocals), Jessie Lee Houllier (Backing Vocals) and Chess Galea (Backing Vocals). Historically, the shows have featured guest appearances from musicians from Pink Floyd's studio and road line-ups: bassist/vocalist Guy Pratt joined Brit Floyd onstage at the Echo Arena in Liverpool in 2013 and Pink Floyd saxophonist/guitarist Scott Page has performed with the band on numerous occasions, as have Pink Floyd backing vocalists Roberta Freeman and Durga McBroom.
The first leg of the 2023 tour dates are as follows with additional shows to be announced in the coming weeks.
