The Australian Pink Floyd Show
There are tribute bands… and then there’s The Australian Pink Floyd Show.
Often hailed as the gold standard in tribute acts, this phenomenal group from Adelaide has spent over three decades perfecting the art of recreating the Pink Floyd experience—not just the sound, but the spirit, scale, and psychedelic spectacle that defined one of rock’s most legendary bands.
Formed in 1988, The Australian Pink Floyd Show (or TAPFS to diehards) quickly outgrew local pubs. Their note-for-note renditions of classics like “Comfortably Numb,” “Wish You Were Here,” and “Time” aren’t just eerily accurate—they’re delivered with a reverence and attention to detail that even former Pink Floyd members have praised. (Yes, David Gilmour himself once hired them to play at his 50th birthday party.)
But this isn’t a museum piece. TAPFS is a living, breathing rock production that updates its visuals and staging year after year, keeping the experience fresh without losing the vintage Floyd magic.
From inflatable pigs to dazzling light shows and quadraphonic sound, TAPFS mirrors the ambitious production values of Pink Floyd’s iconic tours. The band tours globally, playing arenas and concert halls with a spectacle that rivals the original shows many fans never got to see.
Each setlist dives deep—not just the hits, but the deep cuts: “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun,” “Echoes,” “Dogs.” Every tour leans into a different era of Floyd's discography, giving longtime fans something new to experience each time.
For many fans, The Australian Pink Floyd Show is the closest thing they’ll get to the original—and in some ways, it's even more immersive. It’s not about impersonation. It’s about resurrection. TAPFS captures the emotional gravity, experimental ambition, and sonic perfectionism that made Pink Floyd an institution.
If you’ve ever closed your eyes and floated away to The Dark Side of the Moon, if you’ve lost yourself in the vast sonic landscape of Animals or The Wall, this show is for you.
