DAVID GILMOUR: LIVE AT THE CIRCUS MAXIMUS/THE LUCK AND STRANGE CONCERTS - 4LP, 2CD, 3DVD, 2Blu-ray, BOOK, BOX SET
OUT NOW - Released October 17th, 2025

Just announced - David Gilmour Live At The Circus Maximus/The Luck And Strange Concerts, a range of releases concentrated around David's Rome concerts last year, but with other material too. Alongside these are cinema screenings of the Circus Maximus gigs, which should look incredible on the big screen.

First, those cinema screenings. The film Live at the Circus Maximus is going to cinemas & IMAX screens worldwide on September 17th, with tickets going on sale on August 6th from davidgilmour.film and participating cinemas themselves.

Whether or not you catch the film in the cinema, you'll also want to enjoy at home. The live album The Luck and Strange Concerts is being released alongside Live At The Circus Maximus on October 17th in a variety of formats, as detailed below.

There is a 2CD or 4LP set, which contains 23 live tracks from the tour. Both come with a 24-page booklet featuring photographs from the tour. The vinyl is held within two double gatefolds, within a slipcase. The audio was produced by Charlie Andrew and David Gilmour. There is an Amazon variant of the CD and LP sets, with an alternate image on the cover and discs - a silhouette of David with red lights pouring down on him.

Turning now to the film, there's a 2 Blu-ray set, which features the concert filmed at the Circus Maximus in Rome, plus audio concert of tracks from the tour, additional behind-the-scenes documentaries, tour rehearsal footage and music videos. The film was directed by Gavin Elder, with the soundtrack and audio concert produced by Charlie Andrew and David Gilmour. The 2 Blu-ray Discs sit in dedicated colour wallets, with a 24-page booklet featuring photographs from the Luck and Strange tour, and black cat stickers. The audio is presented in 24 bit/96kHz in Stereo, 5.1 Surround and Dolby Atmos. The first disc is the Rome concert video, and the second are the 23 live tracks from the Luck and Strange Tour presented as audio only. Again, they are in 24 bit/96kHz in Stereo, 5.1 Surround and Dolby Atmos. The extras are 4 songs filmed at the tour rehearsals, 4 documentaries, and 9 music videos. The audio for these is presented in Stereo only.

The 3 DVD set presents the Rome concert film as above, across the first two discs, and the third has the extras, again as detailed above. Presentation is as the 2 Blu-ray set with dedicated wallets, booklet and stickers.

Finally, there's a Deluxe Box Set which includes all of the above in a custom-made box, along with a special, exclusive 120 page book of photographs from the tour, taken by Polly Samson. Additional photography from the tour is by Jill Furmanovsky, Anna Wloch and Gavin Elder. So, you get the 4 LPs, 2 CDs, 2 Blu-rays, 3 DVDs, the book, plus memorabilia in a dedicated envelope with an embossed stamp containing 2 perforated postcard sheets with 2 postcards each, 1 x sheet of black cat stickers and 1 sheet of Luck and Strange figure with outstretched arms, set list sheet, a double-sided 4-colour poster, and an 8-page credits book. This is an exclusive to David's official store - link shown below.

A similar version of the book is available as a separate entity from some stores too, which is ideal if you only want one or two elements, rather than the full box set. It is a blend of the book that was in the Luck and Strange album box set with the new one, which explains the greater page count of the standalone version (192 pages).

PINK FLOYD AT POMPEII MCMLXXII 4K UltraHD UHD edition
OUT NOW - Released February 27th, 2026

Sony Music have now announced an excellent follow-up to the release last year of Pink Floyd at Pompeii MCMLXXII, which was a newly restored version of the classic Live At Pompeii, with a superb new audio mix by Steven Wilson.

With the film digitally re-mastered in 4K from the original 35mm footage, with enhanced audio newly mixed by Steven Wilson, it was released on double CD, Digital Audio (streaming, Blu-ray and DVD), and for the very first time in Dolby Atmos and on double vinyl. However, the one missing part of the puzzle was a 4K, Ultra HD/UHD release of this incredible film. Next month, that missing part of the puzzle falls into place, with a release on this format on February 27th.

As a reminder, the film was meticulously hand restored, frame-by-frame, from the original 35mm cut negative - discovered in five dubiously labelled cans within Pink Floyd's own archives. This momentous breakthrough unearthed the very film that rolled through the cameras during those sweltering days amidst the ruins of Pompeii over 55 years ago. Led by Lana Topham, Director of Restoration for Pink Floyd, the team's mission was to preserve the integrity and beauty of the original picture. The film was scanned in 4K using advanced techniques to ensure the finest, sharpest detail. Colours were enhanced, and every frame was meticulously reviewed and repaired, maintaining a natural and vivid appearance with minimal grain adjustments.

The film also features stunning sound quality with a new theatrical and home entertainment mix by Steven Wilson in 5.1 and Dolby Atmos that enhances the film's depth and clarity, preserving the authenticity and spirit of the original 1972 release. Wilson's aim was to remain faithful to how the band would have sounded on those scorching hot days in 1971.

PINK FLOYD LIVE FROM THE LOS ANGELES SPORTS ARENA 26th APRIL 1975 RECORD STORE DAY 4LP CLEAR VINYL
Released April 18th, 2026; 2CD NON-RSD EDITION Released April 24th 2026

As revealed at the start of last month, amongst the huge array of special editions for this year's Record Store Day, all of which are produced in varying degrees of limited numbers, is one for the Pink Floyd collectors out there. As you will be aware, the Wish You Were Here 50 release included Live From the Los Angeles Sports Arena 26th April, 1975. It contained the full set of the concert - 16 live recordings captured by the renowned bootlegger Mike Millard. The audio was lovingly restored and remastered by acclaimed producer and musician Steven Wilson. It is being released separately for Record Store Day (April 18th), with an exclusive vinyl version that has the entire show over 4LPs pressed on clear vinyl.

Record Store Day was formed in 2007 and first celebrated on 19th April, 2008. Since then, it has grown into a global event honouring the culture of independently owned record stores. Today, Record Store Day is celebrated at "bricks and mortar" (i.e. real, not online) shops around the world, uniting artists, fans, and stores in support of vinyl and physical music culture.

And, as we've mentioned previously, all the limited edition items are released just through RSD participating stores on 18th April 2026 - go to RecordStoreDay.com or RecordStoreDay.co.uk for more details of who those will be. There are also now localised sites if you are in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, The Netherlands, Poland, or Spain.

A reminder that it will ONLY be these stores participating; the stores themselves can't sell it online - the record will become available for customers coming through the door of the store from the morning of the 18th (and not before), in limited quantities - first come, first served, and only one copy per customer. After RSD, if copies remain, the retailers may put them for sale online (and of course, there'll also be copies on eBay inevitably...).

For those who cannot make RSD this year, or would prefer it on CD, some great news for you: a 2CD edition will launch the same day (April 18th) in the US, and on April 24th for the rest of the world.

PINK FLOYD: 8-TRACKS on vinyl LP, CD and Digital
OUT NOW - Released June 5th, 2026

A new official Pink Floyd compilation project titled 8-Tracks, featuring eight essential classics selected from the band’s 1971 - 1979 era, has just been announced and will be released on June 5th via Sony Music. The album is available to pre-order in various vinyl editions, on CD and digitally.

The compilation looks to be primarily aimed at the many who are discovering Pink Floyd for the first time, and wish to explore the catalogue without plunging right in. It has a tracklist covering the 1970's - often seen as the 'golden era' of the band - with a line-up of One Of These Days, Wot's...Uh The Deal, Money, Another Brick In The Wall Part 2, Wish You Were Here, Time, Comfortably Numb, and the full version of Pigs On The Wing. This is the version from the 8-track cartridge of Animals; due to the nature of 8-tracks, the song has a bridging solo from new recruit, Snowy White. The only other place it became available was Snowy's 1995 compilation, Goldtop, so it's good to have it included here.

The track sequence has been edited by Steven Wilson using sound effects sourced from the original multitracks to make for a continuous listening experience in classic Floydian style. It's an excellent starting point for new listeners to discover the depth and breadth of Pink Floyd's peerless album catalogue, as well as a carefully curated collection for longtime fans to appreciate.

Pink Floyd 8-Tracks will be released on vinyl (black or a nice light blue vinyl in limited numbers, shown here to the right), CD and digitally. The editions are available worldwide, with the exception of the US - which are all exclusives through Target. Target are selling the CD as an exclusive, along with the vinyl in pink, that comes either with, or without, a special t-shirt (size large) included in the packaging. Target don't currently offer a black vinyl edition - you'll need to go to Amazon Canada or elsewhere to get one of those if you are in the US. Update: Rough Trade seem to be offering the three editions available elsewhere in the world from their US store, listed below.

PLACES TO GO: A GUIDE TO THE PINK FLOYD'S CAMBRIDGE by GLENN POVEY - Fold-out map and guide
Published September 29th, 2026

To be published on September 29th 2026 is Places To Go: A Guide To The Pink Floyd's Cambridge, a fold-out illustrated map and guide charting more than 40 Cambridge locations connected to the lives, music and legacy of Pink Floyd.

Family homes, schools and venues sit alongside record shops, chalk pits and riverside meadows, mapping how Cambridge shaped Pink Floyd and how the band, in turn, left its mark on the city. Syd Barrett and Roger Waters grew up within streets of each other, attended the same school and played the same venues before leaving for London in the early 1960s. David Gilmour, who also grew up in Cambridge and knew Barrett from the local music scene, would later complete the connection when he joined the band in 1968.

The publishers note that this is a guide to be used on the street as well as read at home. Each location is accompanied by concise notes placing it within the band's story and Cambridge's cultural history.

With the map and guide written by none other than Glenn Povey - founder and editor of Brain Damage in its fanzine print days from 1985 to 1993, and subsequently author of numerous essential reference books about the Floyd - you are sure of detailed and accurate information. Whilst we've not seen a copy yet, we're sure it will prove an extremely useful, and illuminating, guide to the band's days in the city of Cambridge, whether or not you are planning a visit there.

PINK FLOYD: A LIVE SOUND HISTORY - MARK CUNNINGHAM
Exact publication date to be confirmed, but hopefully 2026

A new book is due to be published that should prove a fascinating insight into the audio side of Pink Floyd's development. Written by music industry expert Mark Cunningham, who used to run the magazine Total Production International, Pink Floyd: A Live Sound History is due at some point but to whet your appetites, Mark has given us a sneak preview of what's to come.

The book will tell the story of how Pink Floyd pioneered live sound and how equipment manufacturers fought to keep up with the band's demands for better, bigger and higher quality, in tandem with their equally adventurous touring stage productions. It will feature rare images and exclusive interviews conducted by me with key touring personnel and industry figures including Robbie Williams, Phil Taylor, Mick Kluczynski, Andy Jackson, James Guthrie, Buford Jones, Charlie Watkins (WEM), Alan Parsons, Seth Goldman, Bryan Grant and more.

A large portion of the manuscript was actually proof-read by Roger Waters who made comments that have informed the content.

Solo tours up to and including The Wall Live will also feature, as a way of highlighting the further progression of live sound influenced by the Floyd.

At this stage, a firm date isn't available, nor are pre-orders being invited. As soon as more information is available, we will of course update you...

Possibly in 2026:

• Roger Waters - Memoir
  Three extracts were read from his memoir, when he performed a brace of shows at London's iconic Palladium. He said that it was called "I'll See You On The Dark Side Of The Moon: Memoirs Of A Lanky Prick" - but this might of course have been Roger having a bit of fun. Once we get more details, we will let you know...
• Roger Waters - The Bar
  Roger has talked about working on a new album, based on (and possibly called) The Bar. Again, more details as and when.

As and when we hear anything else, we will update this page.
