‘THERE IS STUFF INSIDE US.
WILD STUFF INSIDE US.’

A young girl is watching the moon landings on repeat, entranced by those astronaut’s weightlessness
A bunch of teenagers are swimming under a lunar eclipse, lost in what might happen next
A mis-matched couple are watching a horror film at a drive in cinema, about to break apart

SELENE is a radical exploding of an ancient myth.
It’s about how we grow up living defined by our bodies, and about what happens when that changes.
It’s a story, a score, and a description of a film.

It’s a story about what we’re stuck in the orbit of.
It’s a story about the light sides of us and the dark sides of us.
And it’s about the stuff inside us. All the wild stuff inside of us.

It’s a story told by a solo storyteller and the audience who have gathered, accompanied by an epic electronic score.

Coming May 2026, an unforgettable return of one of rock’s greatest masterpieces.

After nearly three decades of captivating audiences, The Pink Floyd Experience proudly brings back the legendary production of The Wall - an epic live reimagining of Pink Floyd’s most powerful concept album.

This breath taking tour recreates the spectacle of the original complete with the monumental construction and dramatic destruction of The Wall itself. It’s not just a concert; it’s an immersive journey through sound, light, and emotion — from isolation to transcendence.

Led by the commanding vocals of Stan Gratkowski and the seasoned musicians who have shaped this act for 28 years, this show captures the magic, precision, and raw feeling that defined Pink Floyd’s legacy.

You’ve heard the songs. You’ve seen the tributes.

But have you felt it - the pulse of the music, the surge of the light, the goosebumps as the first notes hit?

This tour promises all that and more with a full-scale visual and sonic experience, a monumental wall built and torn down live on stage, and a set of Floydian classics.

Prepare to be immersed, moved, and utterly blown away.
