About this Event
Get ready for PYNK FLOID NYC!
The musical legacy of Pink Floyd needs no introduction. From its earliest incarnation as a psychedelic
jam band through ground-breaking concept albums such as The Wall, Dark Side of the Moon and
Animals, Pink Floyd created some of the most innovative and beloved music in rock history. Here to
celebrate and preserve that storied musical legacy, Pynk Floid NYC brings together seven of the
northeast’s finest and most dedicated tribute musicians aiming to faithfully recreating both the hits
and fan-favorite deep cuts while also honoring Pink Floyd’s roots as an improvisational jam band.
Combined with clever arrangements, authentic instrumentation, and a visually compelling stage
presentation a Pynk Floid NYC show is an electrifying and inspiring tribute experience.
