Join us for a fulldome experience featuring 10 tracks from The Dark Side of the Moon set to stunning 360° visuals after a short tour of the night sky.

Pink Floyd’s iconic album ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’, originally released in March 1973, turns 50, and what more fitting a place to celebrate it and experience it than in a Planetarium, through the music set to visuals. Originally launched in London Planetarium, the idea of a show combining breath-taking views of the solar system and beyond, played out to 42 minutes of The Dark Side Of The Moon in surround sound, has been embraced by the band. NSC Creative has led the visual production efforts, working closely with Pink Floyd’s long time creative collaborator Aubrey Powell from Hipgnosis.

Each song has a different theme; some futuristically looking forward and some a retro acknowledgment to Pink Floyd’s visual history, all relating to a time and space experience, embracing up to the minute technology that only a Planetarium can offer. A truly immersive and all-encompassing surround sound and visual treat that will transcend reality and take you way beyond the realms of 2D experience.

Join us under the dome with a short tour of the night sky, before settling down to immerse yourselves in this stunning music and visual treat.

A pay bar will be available arrival with a chance to explore the level 3 gallery of Thinktank (note no food and drink will be allowed in the planetarium).
