HUNTINGTON, NY — The Australian Pink Floyd Show is set to return to Huntington in June, and its bringing along Pink Floyd's greatest hits.

The show is scheduled for 8 p.m. June 27 at The Paramount. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased here.

Lead singer Chris Barnes said the show this year is Pink Floyd's greatest hits after the band covered "The Dark Side of the Moon" last year. Songs from 1967 through 1994 will be played, including lots of numbers from the band's big four albums: "Animals," "The Dark Side of the Moon," "The Wall," and "Wish You Were Here."

Barnes said he hopes Long Islanders had a good time at last year's Huntington show, but this year is a different set list.

"Obviously we have songs we have to play every year," Barnes told Patch. "Come out and have another great night with us ... We’re actually playing a song on this tour that the band has never played in its entire existence, which has been going down really, really well. When people realize what the song is when the introduction starts, it gets a really good reaction. It’s nice to throw that in, as well, for us and the crowd."

Barnes said not every Pink Floyd fan got to see the band live when they were touring.

"Come out and experience what is essentially what Pink Floyd would have given you," Barnes told younger fans. "The circle screen, the videos, there’s a big light show, there are lasers, inflatables. It’s a full-on multi-sensory experience, really."

Barnes said it's nice to see different generations come to The Australian Pink Floyd Show concerts.

"There are people who saw Floyd back in the day," he said. "Maybe their kids will come. And also grandkids. We have people from 8 through 80; we literally do. It’s a very mixed crowd, which is great to see so many young people come to see the band."

Barnes said the band members are Pink Floyd fans who want to honor the music. The singer recalls last year's Huntington show being a "really good crowd and a really good gig."

"It’s great that people come to see it, as Pink Floyd’s music will live on forever," he said. "It’s great to be playing this music to people who love to hear it. I hope you come to the show, and we’ll have a great night, like last time."

The Australian Pink Floyd Show formed in 1988. The band strives to stay true to the vision and sound of the band it was inspired by.

In 2025, the band's show will cover "Wish You Were Here" in recognition of the album's 50th anniversary.

Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour once asked The Australian Pink Floyd Show to perform at his 50th birthday party. Various members of Pink Floyd have joined the tribute band onstage.
