Pinky and the Floyd will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the iconic album "Wish You Were Here" with a series of can't-miss performances in Fall of 2025. These shows will hold a particularly special weight for the band and their fans as they mark their first performances following the recent passing of their beloved keyboardist (and founding member), Joe Kirchner. While his absence will be deeply felt, the band is dedicated to honoring his memory by bringing the timeless music of Pink Floyd to the stage with the passion and artistry that Joe himself embodied.
"Wish You Were Here," released in 1975, holds a significant place in Pink Floyd's history as the follow-up to their groundbreaking album, "The Dark Side of the Moon." More than just a successor, "Wish You Were Here" served as a poignant tribute to the band's founding member, Syd Barrett, whose struggles with mental health led to his departure. The album's themes of absence, alienation, and the pressures of the music industry resonate deeply, making this 50th-anniversary celebration a particularly meaningful moment to reflect on how these themes remain powerfully relevant in today's world.
Prepare to be transported as Pinky and the Floyd deliver "Wish You Were Here" in its full glory, artfully blending each track with a selection of other cherished gems from the vast Pink Floyd catalog.
