The Australian Pink Floyd Show I The happiest Days of our Lives - Greatest Hits

In the organizer's words:

After huge success in 2025: The Australian Pink Floyd Show returns to Germany for twelve concerts from February 2026 with new program "Happiest Days of Our Lives - Greatest Hits"

Their success story cannot be described as anything other than "impressive": More than 37 years after their first free gig in Adelaide, Australia, in front of a small group of friends and family members, The Australian Pink Floyd Show is now undoubtedly the most successful Pink Floyd tribute band on the planet, with more than five million tickets sold worldwide. What's more, it was the first Pink Floyd tribute show to bring the concept to major arenas around the world. Thousands of headline shows in over 35 countries in front of up to 10,000 fans as well as numerous festival appearances have been on the tour schedule of the band, which has long been an international phenomenon with band members from Australia, Great Britain, France and the USA. They performed at David Gilmour's 50th birthday party and joined him and Rick Wright on stage.

A lot has happened since their humble beginnings in 1988, a lot has changed, but the band continues to strive tirelessly to reproduce the sound of their British idols as originally and as unadulterated as possible in order to preserve Pink Floyd's musical legacy and inspire die-hard Floydians as well as a new, younger audience.

While past tours of The Australian Pink Floyd Show have often focused on a specific album, anniversary or event, this time the motto is as simple as it is ingenious - it is "Happiest Days of Our Lives - Greatest Hits" for the twelve concerts here in Germany next year. Behind this is a grandiose setlist with the most popular songs, classics and some special song gems from all of Pink Floyd's creative phases, which underlines the enormous appreciation for the work of Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Richard Wright and Nick Mason.

With a brand new stage set, a first-class light and laser show, elaborate video animations, state-of-the-art LED screen technology and other special effects, as well as flawless live sound, The Australian Pink Floyd Show guarantees another unique concert experience in 2026. Note for note, chord for chord, The Australian Pink Floyd Show reproduces the music of their idols as completely and as respectfully as possible and really gives the feeling of being able to experience Pink Floyd live once again. The band worked together with Pink Floyd touring musicians such as Guy Pratt and Durga McBroom. Lorelei McBroom, who was part of the Pink Floyd live band on the "Momentary Lapse Of Reason" and "Delicate Sound Of Thunder" tours, has been part of the ensemble for this fascinating show for 15 years.

As a result, The Australian Pink Floyd Show has long since become a musical institution in its own right, setting standards worldwide and inspiring and igniting a whole host of new tribute acts for the genre.

The Daily Mirror describes The Australian Pink Floyd Show as "The kings of the genre", the London Times describes them as "The gold standard" - and quite rightly so. After all, the biggest, most renowned and most spectacular Pink Floyd tribute show has been a worldwide crowd-puller for almost 40 years - including in Germany: this spring, The Australian Pink Floyd Show toured the major arenas in this country for the 16th time - with huge success. The Hamburger Abendblatt described the concerts as a "journey through time for older people" and for the many younger visitors as a "musical history lesson" - with a sound that was "damn close to the original". The Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung particularly praised the "excellently performed Pink Floyd hits and classics", which "provided many goosebump moments". B.Z. summarized the Berlin concert with the words "Oh yes, we were back in the old Floyd world", while the online music magazine Reflections Of Darkness summed it up as follows: "The choice of songs was inspiring, the sound was great and the light show was once again fantastic. A great concert!

From February 2026, "The world's most popular tribute band" (Sunday Times "Culture") will return to Germany for twelve shows.

The 2026 tour is presented by Classic Rock, eclipsed and kulturnews.
