Pink Floyd: after the Pompeii concert, is "Live In Venice" headed to cinemas too? Watch the official trailer

After the theatrical re-release of “Live At Pompeii“, another crucial chapter in the history of Pink Floyd could be headed for the big screen too. A clue comes from a video posted on the band's official YouTube channel: titled “Pink Floyd: Live in Venice”, and labeled “official trailer”, a phrase that explicitly points to a theatrical or documentary release.

The clip gathers footage from the performance of July 15, 1989, when David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright played on a floating stage set up in the Bacino di San Marco, for the Festa del Redentore celebrations. No official statement accompanies the video, but the way it was presented has reignited speculation about a theatrical or streaming release.

Watch the trailer for “Pink Floyd: Live in Venice” below.

The Venice concert remains one of the biggest and most controversial rock events ever staged in Italy. Free of charge, it drew around 200,000 spectators along the banks and on boats, while the worldwide TV broadcast reached an estimated audience of 100 million people. The sheer scale of the event was quickly followed by controversy over the amount of rubbish left behind in the city and a number of incidents of vandalism.

The performance falls in the final stretch of the European tour for “A Momentary Lapse Of Reason”, with Pink Floyd now without their former leader Roger Waters. Alongside the historic trio (David Gilmour, Rick Wright, Nick Mason), the lineup included Jon Carin, Tim Renwick, Guy Pratt, Scott Page, Gary Wallis and backing singers Rachel Fury, Durga McBroom and Lorelei McBroom.

Here is the concert setlist (with Sorrow and Money performed in abridged form):

Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Part I)

Learning to Fly

Yet Another Movie

Round and Around

Sorrow

The Dogs of War

On the Turning Away

Time

The Great Gig in the Sky

Wish You Were Here

Money

Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)

Comfortably Numb

Run Like Hell

Footage of the live show had already been released in 2019 as part of the “Pink Floyd The Later Years” box set. Back in 1989, moreover, Dutch television had produced a special directed by Wayne Isham and Egbert van Hees, which was broadcast in the UK. A further clue lies in the presence on Prime Video of a page dedicated precisely to that special, with a date updated to 2026, a detail that reinforces the theory of a new release of the material.
