The iconic 1972 concert film, featuring songs such as Echoes, one of these days and A dish full of secretsgets the 4K treatment, which is restored from the original 35mm footage. It promises enhanced colors, fine detail, and “each frame was meticulously checked and repaired by hand,” with restoration efforts led by Lana Topham, Pink Floyd’s restoration director.

For sound, three mixes are offered: Dolby Atmos, stereo and 5.1. The new home entertainment mix from Steven Wilson (of Porcupine Tree fame) has improved on the original soundtrack, but Wilson intended to “stay true to what the band would have sounded like in 1971.”
This 4K release comes after a great 2025 for the band. Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii – MCMLXXII returned to theaters around the world in the spring and a 50th anniversary edition of the band’s iconic album Wish you were Here was released in December with a new Dolby Atmos mix.
The 4K Blu-ray is now available for pre-order and can be pre-ordered here. Prices are expected to be $32.99 / £29.99 (approximately AU$49.99). Pink Floyd: live in Pompeii MCMLXXII It is also available on CD, vinyl and Blu-ray.
The arrival of musical movies on 4K Blu-ray
While physical media has struggled in recent years, 4K Blu-ray certainly seems to be finding an audience still. Every time I visit my local HMV store here in the UK, the 4K Blu-ray section seems to get bigger, with more limited edition releases from the likes of The Criterion Collection and Arrow filling the shelves.
It’s no surprise then that, with enthusiastic support for 4K Blu-ray and the rise of Dolby Atmos and spatial audio music, more concert movies are being brought to 4K Blu-ray, providing a premium home theater experience.
Pairing one of these drives with the best TVs and best sound bars produces magic, as I discovered while looking Hans Zimmer: Living in Prague as part of the July 2025 Blu-ray reward.
Pink Floyd now joins the growing list of artists bringing iconic concert films to 4K Blu-ray, which already includes Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones and Prince. My colleague Matt Bolton also wrote a list of Dolby Atmos movies that really focus on music, including concert movies, if you want some recommendations.
I hope in 2026 we’ll see that list get even bigger, and as a 4K Blu-ray fan, I’m here for it.
