Pink Floyd at Pompeii - MCMLXXII, the pioneering 1972 film directed by Adrian Maben, is set to return to cinemas this Spring.

It will be released in select cinemas and IMAX worldwide from 24th April. Tickets will be on sale from 5th March via this link.

Remastered in 4K from the original 35mm footage, with newly mixed enhanced audio by Steven Wilson, the upcoming theatrical release offers the definitive version of this groundbreaking film.

The film has been meticulously hand restored, frame-by-frame, from the original 35mm cut negative - discovered in five dubiously labelled cans within Pink Floyd's own archives. This momentous breakthrough unearthed the very film that rolled through the cameras amidst the ruins of Pompeii over 50 years ago.

In addition, the accompanying live album will be reissued by Legacy Recordings on May 2. This will be the first time the album has appeared on vinyl, or in Dolby Atmos.

Check out a clip of the band playing ‘Echoes (Part 1)’ from the new version of Pink Floyd At Pompeii – MCMLXXII below:

“Since 1994, I have searched for the elusive film rushes of Pink Floyd At Pompeii, so the recent discovery of the 1972 original 35mm cut negative was a very special moment,” says Lana Topham, director of restoration for Pink Floyd. “The newly restored version presents the first full 90-minute cut, combining the 60-minute source edit of the performance with the additional Abbey Road Studios documentary segments filmed shortly after.”

Pink Floyd At Pompeii pre-dates the release of their era-defining album Dark Side of the Moon, which celebrated its 50th anniversary last year. The film charts the band’s humble beginnings, before they became giants of the album charts across the globe.

Set in the hallowed ruins of the ancient Roman Amphitheatre in Pompeii, this immersive film sees Pink Floyd performing an intimate concert without an audience. Filmed in October 1971, the performance marked the very first live concert at Pompeii, and features such standouts as ‘Echoes,’ ‘A Saucerful of Secrets,’ and ‘One of These Days’.

The accompanying live album is available to pre-order here.
