The film, which captures the band’s performance in the ancient Roman amphitheatre in Pompeii, has been restored from the original negatives and features a newly mixed soundtrack by prog star Steven Wilson.
The concert film, directed by Adrian Maben, was originally released in 1972 and has since become one of the most distinctive and beloved concert films in rock history.

The restoration of the film has been a labor of love, with the original negatives carefully restored to bring out the full beauty and detail of the performances. The soundtrack has also been newly mixed by Steven Wilson, known for his work with Porcupine Tree and King Crimson, to bring out the full sonic splendor of the performances.
The rerelease of Pink Floyd at Pompeii is a must-see event for fans of the band and rock music in general. The film will be screened in cinemas worldwide on April 24, including in Imax format, giving audiences a truly immersive experience.
