David Gilmour fans who weren’t able to attend his six-night run of performances at Circus Maximus in Rome last year will soon be able to experience it on big screens and at home. A concert film titled Live at the Circus Maximus, Rome will be shown in theaters worldwide for a limited time only, beginning on September 17th, with a physical release following one month later.

Directed by longtime collaborator Gavin Elder, Live at the Circus Maximus captures Gilmour’s return to the ancient ruins at the beginning of his tour in support of his 2024 solo album, Luck and Strange. Tickets for both IMAX and standard format cinemas go on sale August 6th at 2:00 p.m. BST/9:00 a.m. EDT at his official website.

For those who want to experience the concert at home, it will be available as two-disc Blu-ray or three-disc DVD sets featuring bonus unseen footage and a live album featuring recordings from select shows during the tour. There are also audio-only 4xLP and 2xCD box sets solely featuring the live album.

Gilmour’s return to Circus Maximus saw him play tracks from Luck and Strange, alongside Pink Floyd classics including “Comfortably Numb,” “Breathe (In the Air),” and “Wish You Were Here.” See the full details of the physical releases below.

Below, you can check out Gilmour’s performance of “Sorrow” from Live at Circus Maximus, Rome.

Earlier this year, Pink Floyd’s classic 1972 concert film, Live at Pompeii, was remastered in 4K and released in theaters. Read our review, and pick it up on Blu-ray here.
