After nearly a decade away from live performance, Pink Floyd icon David Gilmour returned in 2024 with his Luck and Strange tour—23 sold-out shows across five cities—and one spectacular highlight was in Rome’s ancient Circus Maximus. Directed by long-time collaborator Gavin Elder, the concert film David Gilmour Live at the Circus Maximus, Rome captures the magic of that unforgettable night.
The stunning ancient ruins provided a dramatic backdrop for an emotionally powerful set blending new solo tracks from Luck and Strange—including a stirring duet of “Between Two Points” featuring Romany Gilmour—with iconic Pink Floyd anthems like “Sorrow”, “High Hopes”, “Wish You Were Here”, “Time”, and the ultimate encore, “Comfortably Numb”. 🌐YouTube
The film premieres in cinemas and IMAX worldwide on September 17, 2025, with tickets going on sale August 6 on the official site. The physical release—including two‑Blu‑ray and three‑DVD packages—follows on October 17, alongside a live album titled The Luck and Strange Concerts. 🌐Louder
