Think Floyd’s 2025 tour celebrates the 50th anniversary of ‘Wish You Were Here’. This brand new production will feature a complete performance of the iconic album, as well as the whole range of classic Pink Floyd from The Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, The Division Bell and more.

Wish You Were Here is regarded as one of the greatest albums in rock history. Featuring the masterpiece ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ as well as the title track, the album reflects themes of absence and the band’s disillusionment of fame and the music industry.

Pink Floyd's Nick Mason describes Think Floyd as "Brilliant! – They are really good." In an interview on LBC the legendary drummer commended Think Floyd and rather generously called them "better than we are”.

Think Floyd pride themselves in faithfully recreating Pink Floyd's timeless music, backed by their dedicated team of sound and lighting engineers and an impressive laser light show, this exciting production will recreate all the atmosphere, visual magnitude and musical excellence of Pink Floyd live on stage.
