Pigs on the Wing’s 2024-2025 tour, “Echoes of Pink Floyd”, is a second act to the band’s previous year’s tour. As before, the Echoes of Pink Floyd tour will feature a new selection of the very best of classic-era Pink Floyd cuts organized into 2 distinct sets. Rather than performing a single album from start to end, expect to hear the band focus on their favorite sections of the classic albums, including hits, deep cuts, and the band’s trademark willingness to explore the sonic space in experimental improvisation. Fans can expect an immersive visual show in a don’t-miss event for any Pink Floyd fan!
Opening the evening will be Portland's own rock veterans (and good friends) LAST GIANT who subtly blend the likes of Zepplin, Coltrane and Thin Lizzy into their own unique and polished sound of heavy hitting, melodic classic rock for your listening pleasure. Make sure to get there early as you don't wanna miss these guys!
From its garage-rock roots in 2006 as a one-off show, to full-album productions and performances for thousands of fans each year, Portland Oregon based Pigs on the Wing have built a loyal following dedicated to the band’s high-energy take on Pink Floyd’s music. All members of Pigs on the Wing are seasoned veterans of the Pacific NW rock scene and are unapologetic in bringing their wide-ranging musical influences to the table. Setting the band aside from other tribute-rock acts, Pigs on the Wing balance a decidedly un-tribute-like attitude towards the music with the precision and authenticity expected by Pink Floyd fans.
Amongst the band’s accomplishments, Pigs on the Wing has in recent years featured full album performances of The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall and was recently ranked the #4 Pink Floyd tribute worldwide. None are bigger fans of the work of Pink Floyd than the members of Pigs on the Wing themselves, and the band takes their role as stewards of the music seriously - something immediately evident in the bands’ immersive performances.
