After nearly a decade away from touring, David Gilmour is back in the spotlight with a new concert film and live album that capture the magic of his Luck And Strange tour. The former Pink Floyd guitarist and singer announced Live At The Circus Maximus, a film chronicling his spellbinding performance at the historic Roman venue, which kicks off the visual component of this new project.

Filmed by longtime collaborator Gavin Elder, the concert takes place at Romeโ€™s Circus Maximusโ€”an ancient site rich with history, now reimagined as a surreal backdrop to Gilmourโ€™s atmospheric soundscapes. This cinematic release will hit IMAX and standard-format cinemas for a limited time only on September 17, presented by Sony Music Vision and Trafalgar Releasing.

Fans will not only witness a stirring performance of Gilmour’s solo material and Pink Floyd classics but also experience it in immersive formats. The filmโ€™s audio will be available in stereo 96/24, 5.1 surround, and Dolby Atmos, elevating the grandeur of the performance and venue. Tickets go on sale August 6.
