WHEELING -- Brit Floyd -- The World's Greatest Pink Floyd Experience -- launched its "50 Years of Dark Side" North American Tour last spring, and a stop on the marathon tour will hit the Capitol Theatre in Wheeling on Thursday, Nov. 9.
"50 Years of Dark Side" celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Pink Floyd's album masterpiece "Dark Side of the Moon." For this year's world tour -- featuring over two and a half hours of Pink Floyd music encompassing the band's iconic career -- the team has created a show that includes state-of-the-art visuals (lights, lasers and animation) which are all presented with immersive soundscapes and virtuosic musicianship.
Formed in 2011, Brit Floyd features performances supported by an immense, immaculately curated state of the art production, reverently emulating the stunning soundscapes and visuals of Pink Floyd's iconic catalog.
Brit Floyd is a celebration of authenticity, featuring musicians handpicked by Damian Darlington. The 2023 touring band includes Darlington (guitarist, vocalist and musical director), Ian Cattell (vocals, bass), Edo Scordo (guitars, vocals), Matt Riddle (keyboards, synths, hammond, vocals), Arran Ahmun (drums, percussions), Ryan Saranich (saxophone, percussions, guitars, bass, keyboards), Randy Cooke (drums and percussion), Eva Avila (lead and backing vocals), Genevieve Little (backing vocals), Jessie Lee Houllier (backing vocals) and Chess Galea (backing vocals).
Historically, the shows have featured guest appearances from musicians from Pink Floyd's studio and road line-ups: bassist/vocalist Guy Pratt joined Brit Floyd onstage at the Echo Arena in Liverpool in 2013 and Pink Floyd saxophonist/guitarist Scott Page has performed with the band on numerous occasions, as have Pink Floyd backing vocalists Roberta Freeman and Durga McBroom.
