The Australian Pink Floyd Show has redefined the ‘tribute act’, bringing ruthless diligence to recreating both the music and stage show of the orginal Floyd. The band’s current European tour includes a month of UK dates, for which Capital Sound Hire is providing the sound system.

The tour’s venues are a mixture of theatre and arenas, so Capital is supplying a flexible Martin Audio MLA system, comprising MLA, MLAc and WS218x subs with LM front fills. FOH sound is being mixed by Jonathan Brooks on a DiGiCo SD8 console, while monitors comprise a package of Sennheiser G3 IEMs and Martin LE1500 floor monitors, with the mix handled by Matt Coton on a DiGiCo SD10.

The Capital Sound crew includes MLA technician Marty Beath and monitor techs Robin Conway and Bheki Phakathi sharing duties over the tour’s four legs.

‘We’re delighted to be working with such a phenomenon,’ says Capital General Manager, Paul Timmins. ‘It’s a demanding tour and, as always, audio quality is at the forefront of their requirements. We’re looking forward to a great tour.’
