Mumbai, April 23 (NationPress) Beyond the horizon, the magic of the legendary rock band Pink Floyd will grace the cinematic screen surrounded by wonders and marvels. The band’s renowned concert film ‘Pink Floyd at Pompeii – MCMLXXII’ is set to premiere in Indian theatres on April 26 and April 27.
The revolutionary 1972 film, directed by Adrian Maben, has been digitally re-mastered in 4K from the original 35mm footage. On the audio front, the film showcases new theatrical and home entertainment mixes in 5.1 and Dolby Atmos by the acclaimed sound engineer Steven Wilson.
This musical masterpiece is set against the haunting backdrop of the ancient Roman Amphitheater in Pompeii, Italy, capturing Pink Floyd—comprising David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright—performing an intimate live set before no audience. Filmed in October 1971, it features some of the band’s most iconic tracks, including ‘Echoes’, ‘A Saucerful of Secrets’, and ‘One of These Days’.
The film also includes rare behind-the-scenes footage of the band working in London’s Abbey Road Studios during the early stages of recording ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’. The cinematic visuals of Pompeii—captured in natural light and twilight—amplify the performance’s surreal energy and lasting mystique.
This re-release offers Indian audiences a unique opportunity to experience the film like never before—with stunning visuals, immersive sound, and the golden glow of Pompeii’s timeless charm.
Pink Floyd is regarded as one of the greatest bands of all time, alongside the more popular The Beatles. Founded by Syd Barrett, Nick Mason, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright, the band gained popularity for their innovative music and experimentation with the psychedelic genre. The guitar legend David Gilmour joined later after Syd Barrett became reclusive due to substance abuse that affected his mental health.
‘Pink Floyd at Pompeii – MCMLXXII’ is being presented in Indian theatres by PVR-INOX Pictures.
