The forthcoming David Gilmour live album and film, entitled "The Luck And Strange Concerts" and "Live At The Circus Maximus, Rome", beautifully capture the 2024 "Luck And Strange' tour.

The tour accompanied Gilmour’s 5th solo album which hit #1 in the UK, Germany, his first #1 there, Poland, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Portugal and Austria. It reached #2 in France, Italy, and Belgium, the top 5 in Spain, Japan, Norway, Denmark, and Hungary, and the top 10 in the US, Australia, Finland, Sweden, Ireland, and New Zealand.

The shows began with 2 sold out warm up shows at the Brighton Centre before moving to Circus Maximus in Rome for 6 sold out nights, followed by the same at London's Royal Albert Hall before moving Stateside for sold out evenings at the Intuit Dome and Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, before concluding with 5 sold out nights at Madison Square Garden in New York.

All 23 dates were sold out, and with no new shows on the horizon, the new album and film is the best and only way to experience the master of his art on stage.

"Live At The Circus Maximus, Rome", which is being released via Sony Music Vision and Trafalgar Releasing, will be shown in cinemas & IMAX worldwide on September 17th, 2025, for a limited time only. The film sees Gilmour return to Rome's historic Circus Maximus at the beginning of the "Luck And Strange" tour, his 1st in nearly a decade. Long time Gilmour collaborator Gavin Elder filmed the sublime spectacle against the backdrop of the ancient ruins of Rome.

"Live At The Circus Maximus" will also be released on 2 BluRay and 3 DVD sets with bonus unseen footage and the full "Luck And Strange Concerts" mixed in 5.1 and Atmos (BluRay only) on October 17th, 2025.

"The Luck And Strange Concerts" features 23 tracks across 4 LP's or 2 CD's recorded at selected shows from the tour and blends solo tracks from David’s most recent album, including a stirring rendition of "Between Two Points" with Romany Gilmour, as well as classic Pink Floyd anthems such as "Sorrow", "High Hopes", "Breathe (In The Air)", "Time", "Wish You Were Here", and "Comfortably Numb". The super deluxe edition of the album features all the formats as well as a 120 page hardback book, "David Gilmour Luck And Strange Live", featuring Polly Samson’s photographs taken on the tour.

The audio has been co-produced by David and Charlie Andrew, who co-produced the "Luck And Strange" album.

For the lucky fans who experienced these once in a lifetime shows, all the sets are perfect reminders of Gilmour’s soulful, expressive, and meticulously melodic guitar playing and the brilliance of his incredible band. For those who missed the shows, the album and the film offer a once in a lifetime chance to experience this extraordinary musical event.
