Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon

Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon is coming to the Glasgow Science Centre on Saturday 24 October, as part of a run that also includes 9 October. It's a fulldome planetarium experience that sets ten tracks from the album to 360° visuals, projected across the centre's 15-metre hemispherical dome. The session is guided by an expert astronomer, so you'll have someone talking you through the stars while the music plays.

The show marks the 50th anniversary of the album, which has sold 50 million copies since its first press launch in 1973 beneath the stars of the London Planetarium. The visuals are built around the latest audio remastering by James Guthrie and Joel Plante of das boot recording, and NSC Creative worked with Aubrey Powell, Pink Floyd's creative director, to pair the album's ten tracks with the imagery. It's shown in the Glasgow Science Centre's Planetarium, a state-of-the-art fulldome digital projection system piloted by the centre's team of astronomers and science experts.

It sits within the centre's October holiday family fun programme and its 'Curiosity After Dark' Science Lates, so there are a couple of different ways to see it. The evening sessions are recommended for over-18s, while the afternoon matinees are for over-13s. Tickets are £44.25 per adult, £39.45 per concession, and £34.50 per child, with under-3s going free.
