As a thank you we would like to share Tangerine Dream’s 45th anniversary (1967 – 2012) with our loyal British fan base. It will be a great show with lots of songs and sounds that our fans grew up with”.
Pink Floydare rumoured to be reuniting this summer for the London 2012 Olympics. (Apparently to play during the closing ceremony, not to compete in the beach volleyball event.)
Today’s London Evening Standard newspaper quotes an unnamed Floyd ‘insider’ as saying:
“It’s long been made clear it would take something very special to get Pink Floyd back together again and it doesn’t get any bigger than the Olympics.
“They have been a major part of the nation’s culture over the past 40 years and it will be very fitting that they’re involved when London is on show to the world. It’s hoped everything can be confirmed in the coming weeks.”
