AUSTRALIAN PINK FLOYD
July 31
Queen Elizabeth Theatre – Get Your Tickets Here!
The Australian Pink Floyd Show is one of the world’s most popular Pink Floyd tribute bands. Formed in 1988, the band began playing pubs in Adelaide, Australia “almost on a crusade, a crusade for Pink Floyd’s music around the world,” as their manager told The Guardian in 2007. The band’s popularity grew in part because of their ability to recreate Pink Floyd’s live presentation, going as far as working with the engineers and techs who’d previously toured with Pink Floyd. After years of touring around the world, in 1996 the band was invited to play at David Gilmour’s 50th birthday party, becoming the only Pink Floyd tribute act to play for a member of Pink Floyd.

MARCUS KING: MOOD SWINGS THE WORLD TOUR
September 4
Orpheum Theatre
Marcus King faces heartache, addiction, and mental health head-on in his music. Pain quakes below the vibrato of his voice, and his delivery weighs heavy with booze-drenched regrets and mistakes in lonely hotels. The GRAMMY® nominated fourth generation musician from Greenville, SC, started playing guitar at 8-years-old following in the footsteps of his guitarist Father and Grandpa. Logging thousands of miles on the road as “The Marcus King Band,” he established himself with unparalleled performance prowess.
He has launched various mental health initiatives, including a guitar auction collaboration with MusiCares. Now, his 2024 album Mood Swings feels like the moment of baptism when water washes away a life’s worth of sins and degradation and all that’s left is a revived, yet still real-as-hell primal scream. It’s as if King strained raw soul straight from his gut up through that broken heart and on to the record under the watchful eye of Rick Rubin.
