The British Pink Floyd Show Confirm 2011 Tribute Tour & Tickets
Thursday, 26 August 2010
Written by Jon Stickler
The annually promoted Pink Floyd tribute tour will feature 'The British Pink Floyd Show' rather than 'The Australian Pink Floyd Show' from 2011 after the Australian tribute act parted company with their UK promoter CMP.
Every year The Australian Pink Floyd Show, or TAPFS as they are also known, have toured one of the most large-scale productions you will ever see from a tribute act. Annually thrilling Pink Floyd fans around the world with their lavish live shows, the act are reknown across the globe for their outstanding attempts at recreating the look, feel, and sound of Pink Floyd's later world tours. We understand The Australian Pink Floyd show will return to UK circuits in 2011 though.
In the meantime, The British Pink Floyd Show will be taking over the reigns for their UK promoter CMP Entertainment, stopping off at Floyd's native United Kingdom for an extensive 31-date tour in April and May as well as a few dates in July and August too. Although the tribute act on show is changing, we are assured that everything else will remain the same.
The promoters have decided to change the name of the group to represent the increasing number of British musicians. Chas Cole, former promoter for TAPFS, had this to say about the change. "In recent years TAPFS tours have featured primarily British musicians and its come to the point where a British show is more appropriate. CMP doesn't want to stretch the goodwill of Pink Floyd or the fans and therefore, now is a good time to change."
Rest assured though, that is the only change that is happening. Everything else about the new 'BritFloyd' tour will stay the same, including the outstanding sound quality, staggering light shows and animations.
