Australian Pink Floyd Show Coming To LI: 'People Will Be In For A Good Night,' Singer Says

HUNTINGTON, NY — Fans of Pink Floyd are in for a treat. The Australian Pink Floyd Show, a tribute band, is set to perform at The Paramount in Huntington at 8 p.m. June 25.

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.

The show will feature the "Dark Side of the Moon" album in its entirety, as this year marks the 50th anniversary of the hit disc. The band will also play selections dating back to 1967, including songs from "Meddle," "Wish You Were Here," "Animals," "The Wall," and "The Division Bell."

"'Dark Side of the Moon'" is the main choke of the show," Chris Barnes, lead singer of The Australian Pink Floyd Show, told Patch. "And then there’s a whole smorgasbord of everything else that Pink Floyd was known for, really."

Barnes believes the show will please all types of Pink Floyd fans.

"I think people will be in for a good night if they come down," he said. "Even if they’re just aware of the big hits of Pink Floyd. You’re going to get that and lots more. If you’re a hardcore Pink Floyd nerd like myself, it’s a set list that will entertain you and surprise you. It really is a Pink Floyd show for all types of Pink Floyd fans."

Barnes has been a member of the band for seven years and recalled having played on Long Island in the past. However, he's played many shows in the United States.

"As an Englishman, I’d just like to say the American crowds; you guys know how to have a good time, don’t ya?" he said.

The band missed a few tours because of the coronavirus pandemic. The show returned to the U.S. last year, Barnes said.

"I think it was about three or four songs into the first show, I did think, 'Wow, Americans are really loud and have a good time.' It’d been so long, you forget how great the crowds are in the states. For an English chap like myself, I just can’t wait. I can’t wait to get back, because you guys know how to have a good time. You’re a great audience to play for."

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.

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.

The 2023 "Dark Side of the Moon Tour" celebrates Pink Floyd's eighth studio album.

Shows feature state of the art lighting and video, pinpoint lasers, gargantuan inflatables, and a live sound that was the benchmark of Pink Floyd shows.

Originally released in March 1973, "The Dark Side of the Moon" has been certified 14 times Platinum in the UK, and spent 962 weeks in the Billboard Top 100. It is Pink Floyd’s most successful album and one of the bestselling albums of all time, according to The Australian Pink Floyd Show.
