David Gilmour, the legendary Pink Floyd guitarist and solo artist, is bringing his electrifying “Luck and Strange” tour to the screen and speakers with two highly anticipated releases this fall: Live at the Circus Maximus, Rome, a cinematic event, and The Luck and Strange Concerts, a live album.
On September 17, 2025, fans will have the rare opportunity to experience Gilmour’s breathtaking performance at Rome’s historic Circus Maximus. Filmed by longtime collaborator Gavin Elder, this concert film captures the intimacy and grandeur of Gilmour’s first tour in nearly a decade, set against the backdrop of ancient ruins.
For one night only, Live at the Circus Maximus will be shown in cinemas and IMAX theatres worldwide. The concert itself spans 142 minutes of Gilmour’s unparalleled guitar playing, alongside classics like Sorrow, Comfortably Numb, and Wish You Were Here, as well as selections from his 2024 album Luck and Strange. Tickets can be purchased starting from August 6.
This live film will be followed by a more immersive home experience, released on October 17 in both 2 Blu-ray and 3 DVD formats. These sets will not only feature the full performance but also include unseen bonus footage, rehearsals, music videos, and behind-the-scenes documentaries from the Luck and Strange tour, offering fans an intimate look at the artist and his crew in action.
Fans craving a deeper dive into the tour’s magic can look forward to The Luck and Strange Concerts, releasing on October 17 in a variety of formats, including a 4-LP set, 2-CD set, and a lavish Super Deluxe Box Set. The album compiles 23 tracks from the tour, showcasing not just Gilmour’s newer solo material, but also iconic Pink Floyd anthems that continue to resonate through generations.
Highlights from The Luck and Strange Concerts include Between Two Points featuring Romany Gilmour and renditions of High Hopes, Marooned, The Great Gig in the Sky, and Comfortably Numb. For true collectors, the Super Deluxe edition offers a 120-page hardback book with Polly Samson’s exclusive photography from the tour, as well as a wealth of video extras like The Making of Luck and Strange and live performance clips.
The Luck and Strange album, which hit #1 in numerous countries including the UK, Germany, and Austria, represents a crowning achievement in Gilmour’s solo career. The success of the album paralleled the immense popularity of his live shows, all 23 dates of which were sold out. The Rome concert, in particular, is symbolic of Gilmour’s return to performing on a scale not seen in years—complete with a sound and light show that matches his legendary status.
Both Live at the Circus Maximus and The Luck and Strange Concerts highlight Gilmour’s distinctive style—his emotive guitar solos, haunting vocals, and ability to connect deeply with his audience. For those who missed the live shows, these releases offer an unparalleled opportunity to experience Gilmour at his best. Both Live at the Circus Maximus and The Luck and Strange Concerts are now available for pre-order.
