Brit Floyd recently announced their 2027 Animals 50 Tour that will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd’s seminal 1977 record “Animals.”
From February through April, Damian Darlington’s beloved tribute group has gigs lined up at arenas, concert halls, resorts, theaters, palaces, event centers, auditoriums and opera houses all over North America.
That includes six (!) stops in New York. They’re scheduled to go take place at:
West Herr Auditorium TheatreRochester, NYFeb. 27, 2027Proctors TheatreSchenectady, NYMarch 7, 2027Paramount TheatreHuntington, NYMarch 9, 2027Paramount TheatreHuntington, NYMarch 10, 2027Onecenter Crouse Hinds TheaterSyracuse, NYMarch 16, 2027Shea’s Performing Arts CenterBuffalo, NYApril 14, 2027
On top of their Empire State stint, Brit Floyd will also headline in Atlantic City (March 20) and New Brunswick (March 25) on the Animals 50 outing.
According to the group’s Instagram, fans can expect “a spectacular new production featuring the album alongside many of Pink Floyd’s greatest hits.”
If you’d like to be there, tickets are officially available for all upcoming Darlington and co.’s Brit Floyd shows from fall 2026 [Editor’s Note: they’re currently wrapping up their ongoing The Moon, The Wall, and Beyond Tour] all the way up until their spring 2027 Animals run.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on seats for any one Brit Floyd show was $39 including fees on Vivid Seats (that’s for the Oct. 13, 2026 concert in Bakersfield, CA on The Moon, The Wall, and Beyond Tour).
Prices start at $52 including fees for Brit Floyd’s two shows at Huntington’s Paramount Theatre.
As longtime fans may recall, an inflatable pig floated over the crowd when Roger Waters and co. took the record on the road as part of their In the Flesh Tour. Usually, midway through the show, the balloon swine would be switched out for a lower-cost, more explosive model.
Tracks from the 41-minute “Animals” include the solemn “Pigs on the Wing 1,” jangly, anthemic “Dogs,” spaced-out, cowbell epic “Pigs (Three Different Ones),” bluesy, bleating “Sheep” and gorgeous “Pigs on the Wing 2.”
“‘Animals’ is an echo-chamber for social unrest in the 70s,” Oxford Student noted in an emphatic 2017 review. As a work of music, it’s sublime. As a work of political allegory, it’s out of proportion and brutalist. Yet something in Waters’ imagined dystopia still chimes all these years later.”
