UK National Space Centre – DSOTM Planetarium Show
For fans in the UK, the UK National Space Centre in Leicester is hosting two fulldome planetarium showings of Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side Of The Moon on January 20th, 2024. This is an immersive experience set to the latest audio remastering by James Guthrie and Joel Plante of das boot recording. Fulldome film production is by the multi award winning NSC Creative, who worked with Aubrey Powell, Pink Floyd’s creative director. Video below of how the visuals will look in a 360° setting.
The show itself will be divided between the 10 tracks of the album, and in chronological order, each having a different theme; some futuristically looking forward and some a retro acknowledgment to Pink Floyd’s visual history, all relating to a time and space experience, embracing up to the minute technology that only a Planetarium can offer. In the modern parlance it’s truly immersive; an all-encompassing surround sound and visual treat that will transcend reality and take you way beyond the realms of 2D experience.

Roger Waters – Under The Rubble
Roger Waters has shared a demo of a new track titled Under The Rubble with the message “Love R.” We are unsure if it’s a one-off track or part of a new conceptual piece. Roger has stated recently he is working on turning his latest solo piece The Bar into an album which debuted during the 2022/2023 This Is Not A Drill tour. As always, stay tuned for more information and you can watch the nearly 2 minute video (filmed in what looks to be Roger’s home studio) of the demo below.
